Continuation to our trek to Kareri village, 9 members of our team trekked upto the lake. Situated at an altitude of about 9600 feet, the Kareri lake is about 13 kms from the village. We started early in the morning and were there at about 10:15. Spent a good time lazing around the lake and off-course dipping our feet in its freezing water. The walk back was quite tiring as we moved quite fast and wanted to reach Kareri village by 3pm and then Ghaira village by 5pm.
It had been a while since we had a team outing, so we decided to go out for a trek to Kareri and then further upto the lake on the weekend of 26th May. About 18 people signed up for the trek to Kareri village. We started early in the day to avoid the summer sun and by noon we were at the Kareri forest rest house. Took the route via Satovari and Ghaira to reach Kareri. We ascended the lake on 27th May, pictures of which I will be sharing in another blog post.
Sharing some of the pictures from the excursion. As usual, the photographer that’s me, continues to be in the background 🙂
Setting up a Picasa gallery to share pictures of Kangra miniature paintings being made by artists from Chitera School at Dharamshala.
