Kareri lake trek begins at Kareri village from where people trek to Liyoti campsite. One could hike to the lake, relish a nice campsite and witness the Lake reflecting the sunset sky and the gazing stars the following day which is a surreal sight to behold. Trek down to the Kareri village the following day once again to conclude this trek. Get ready to experience the scenic beauty by catching a glimpse of the traditional living in the mountains. The picturesque environs of this trek will refresh and rejuvenate anyone thoroughly melting all the stresses away.

During the early months of the year, there are chances of snow on the high passes, which considerably melts by August. During the monsoon season, Kangra and Dhauladhar ranges remain affected due to rain, but when it comes to the high places, the weather remains usually warm and sunny (12-20 °C) during the day, while the night temperature could range to minus (-2 to 6 °C). During September and October, trekkers can experience good weather, with little snowfall. The day temperature is hovering around 12-18 °C by the onset of October but the evening starts getting comparatively colder at (- 6) to 4 °C.

Kareri lake trek begins near Dharamshala and traverses along with coniferous forests of Chilgoza and Chris pines. This is also an amazing spot for bird watching and the trekkers could thus spot some native Himalayan avian species like the Blue Magpie. The forests eventually give way to rocky grasslands, a beautiful passage of vegetation zones. This is a glacial lake by origin and thus lies in the snowline. Because of its approachability and beauty, this is a nice kickstart for beginners.
