Kareri Lake is a high altitude, shallow, fresh water lake south of the Dhauladhar range approximately 13 km North West of Dharamsala in Kangra district, Himachal Pradesh. Kareri Lake is situated northwest of McLeodganj and is at the foot of the Minkiani Pass. Apart from the lake’s natural beauty, the trek itself goes through beautiful forests, rural villages, and finishes at a remote temple on the banks of Kareri Lake.

The Indrahar pass trek starts from McLeodganj (Dharamsala) in the Kangra valley, passes over the impressive snowbound Dhauladhar range and a view of beautiful Dhauladhar and Pir Panjal mountain.

This is the most visited picnic spot near the Mount Dhauladhar and an adventurous medium strength trekking to the the hills of Dhauladhar at Dharamsala. This is also the base camp for trekking to Chamba over Inderahara pass.
