The trek tales
Kareri Lake
The starting point of the Seven Lake Trek, Kareri Lake is surrounded by lush greenery and the massive Dhauladhar range, and serves as the gateway to the other lakes.
From Kareri Village, trekkers embark on a scenic trail that winds through dense forests, rocky grasslands, and oak-pine forests. The journey is a visual feast, especially during winter when the lake remains frozen, and snow blankets the meadows.
Frozen Beauty
In winter, Kareri Lake transforms into a magical wonderland. The towering oak and pine trees wear powdery snow, glistening under the sun’s rays. The cold may challenge trekkers, but the reward is the serene beauty of the frozen lake.
Less Crowded Trails
Unlike the bustling summer months, winter offers solitude. The trails are less crowded, allowing trekkers to immerse themselves in the serenity of the mountains.
Water Source
The melted snow from the snow-capped peaks of the Dhauladhar Range feeds Kareri Lake. Its crystal-clear waters reflect the surrounding snow-clad peaks.

Photography Paradise
Photographers will find Kareri Lake a haven for capturing nature’s beauty. From reflections in the water to snow-capped peaks, every frame tells a story.
