Kareri Lake or Kumarwah Lake is a mid-altitude lake located in Dhauladhar Ranges of the Himalayas in Kangra region of Himachal Pradesh. Earlier the area around this lake was used by Gaddi shepherds to graze sheep and cattle. They also built a temple for Goddess Kareri. Every year on Janamashtami a function is organised at the temple by the local people of Kareri Village where every visitor is served with a free meal. Kareri Lake is now one of the famous trekking destinations of Dharamshala at an altitude of 2940 m above sea level. The Trek starts from Kareri Village which is 24 km away from Dharamshala Bus Stand.
Take a bus or flight from Delhi to reach Dharamshala. Book a cab to Kareri village from Dharamshala. Take the unpaved path towards Reoti. Follow the route further to reach Kareri Lake. It’s better if you hire a guide or book the trek in advance if you are going for the first time.
