Experience the perfect blend of adventure and natural beauty with the Kareri Lake Trek, a short yet thrilling Himalayan escape. Starting with an overnight journey from Delhi, this 2-night, 3-day tour takes you deep into the heart of Himachal Pradesh. The trek begins from the scenic Kareri Village near Dharamshala and ascends through dense pine forests, bubbling streams, and lush meadows to reach the breathtaking Kareri Lake – a glacial marvel nestled at the base of the mighty Dhauladhar range. This trek is ideal for beginners and nature lovers looking for a quick Himalayan retreat. You’ll camp under the stars, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and witness panoramic views of snow-clad peaks. The route offers an authentic Himachali experience with rustic village life and pristine alpine wilderness. This tour is professionally organized by Mountains Chain Travel Pvt. Ltd., a trusted name in Himalayan trekking and adventure travel. With experienced guides, well-managed campsites, and seamless ground support, we ensure your journey is safe, comfortable, and unforgettable.
Your journey begins from Delhi in the evening as you board a comfortable vehicle (Volvo or tempo traveller) arranged for an overnight journey to Dharamshala. Enjoy the overnight ride as you pass through the plains of Punjab and gradually ascend into the scenic hills of Himachal Pradesh. Rest during the journey to prepare for the trek ahead.
Upon reaching Dharamshala in the morning, freshen up and have breakfast before starting a short drive of around 25 km (approximately 2 hours) to Kareri Village, a beautiful Himachali hamlet located at 1,800 meters. From the village, begin your trek towards Liyoti. The trail gradually ascends through dense pine and oak forests, offering picturesque views and crossing charming wooden bridges over mountain streams. After trekking about 6 km over 4 to 5 hours, reach the Liyoti campsite, nestled in a serene forest clearing. Spend the evening relaxing around the campsite. Dinner and overnight stay will be in tents.
After an early breakfast, begin your trek from Liyoti to the beautiful Kareri Lake. The 7 km ascent takes you through rocky terrain, alpine meadows, and along gushing streams, with the Dhauladhar range providing a majestic backdrop. Upon reaching the glacial Kareri Lake, located at an altitude of 2,950 meters, spend time soaking in the peaceful environment and exploring the area around the lake. After some time at the lake, start the descent back to Liyoti, covering a total of 14 km in the day. Reach back by evening for a hot dinner and a well-deserved rest in your tents.
Post breakfast, begin your descent back to Kareri Village. The 6 km downhill trek takes approximately 3 to 4 hours, following the same forested route through which you ascended. Once you reach the village, drive back to Dharamshala, covering the 25 km journey in around 2 hours. The trip concludes upon arrival in Dharamshala with beautiful memories of the Himalayan adventure.

If you wish to skip the overnight bus journey and prefer to travel by air:
There is no direct train to Dharamshala. The nearest railway station is Pathankot, around 90 km away. From there, you would need to take a taxi or bus to reach Dharamshala. This route is less convenient compared to the direct overnight bus or flight.
