Even though the trekking trail to Kareri Lake is located high up in the Dhuladhar range, it is quite popular as a weeked trekking destination. The trek takes the participants up to the shallow fresh water lake that is perfectly elliptical and is situated at a height of around 3100m above sea level.
The Kareri Lake trek is considered to provide a great experience to first time trekkers intending to conquer higher ranges in the future. Given the high altitude of the trekking trail it is not surprising that it is slightly difficult for the participants. However, the rich natural surrounds and the breathtaking sites of the towering mountain ranges and the refreshing walk through the pristine Oak, Pine and Rhododendron forests keeps them engaged and motivated.
The Kareri River proves to be a constant companion of the trekkers throughout the 3 days and 2 nights long trip. As the participants near Kerari Tal as the destination is popularly known, they need to negotiate over several boulders sprawled along the river bank, an effort that is amply rewarded by the sight of the glacial lake.
