JT2 Kareri Lake - Winter Himalayan Trek - Itinerary
DHARAMKOT
Height: 2100mts | Sightseeing: Dharamshala
Your journey kicks off as you roll into Dharamsala, where our team scoops you up from the Volvo bus stand and whisks you straight to the cozy vibes of Dharamkot. A hearty breakfast sets the tone, followed by a quick freshen-up before the adventure begins. The day unfolds with a cultural wander—starting at the serene Dalai Lama (Kalchakra) Temple, where prayer flags flutter against snowy skies. Next, soak in the spiritual charm of Bhagsunag Temple, before diving headfirst into the colorful chaos of McLeodganj’s hippie market and quirky cafés. Think steaming momos, Tibetan trinkets, and stories waiting at every corner. As dusk settles, we head back to Dharamkot for a warm dinner and well-earned rest—fueling up for the snowy trails that await

BASE CAMP
Height: 2500mts | 6km Trek
Wake up to an early breakfast and wave goodbye to Dharamkot as we drive towards the trailhead. The trek kicks off from Kareri Nallah, where the crunch of fresh snow underfoot sets the rhythm for the day. By lunchtime, we reach the Kareri Base Camp, nestled in a valley blanketed with shimmering white. The afternoon is yours to rest, wander, and soak in the surreal beauty of snow-laden meadows and frosted pines. As the sun dips, the camp comes alive with high tea and steaming soup, followed by a hearty dinner under a canopy of stars. With the crackle of bonfire warmth and the hush of Himalayan night, this is winter magic at its finest.

KARERI LAKE

Fuel up with breakfast, lace up those boots, and get ready—the biggest trek day is here! From base camp, the trail winds upward through snow-laden forests and ridges, each step crunching into winter’s silence. The climb is steady, the air crisp, and then—suddenly—the prize reveals itself: Kareri Lake, frozen into a vast sheet of ice, shimmering beneath the mighty backdrop of Minkhiani Pass. Take a breather, wander across the snow-covered meadows, and let the surreal beauty sink in. After soaking it all in, the group retraces its steps back to base camp for lunch, before descending to the trailhead. Vehicles await to whisk you back to Dharamkot, where a warm dinner and cozy rest cap off this unforgettable Himalayan snow-globe adventure.

GOODBYE HIMALAYAS

After a late breakfast and a delightfully lazy morning, it’s time to check out and bid adieu to our Dharamkot stay. The group will be dropped at McLeodganj Square, conveniently close to the Volvo pick-up point (with cloak room facilities for luggage). The afternoon is yours to wander—sip coffee in quirky cafés, shop for Tibetan souvenirs, or simply soak in the mountain vibe one last time. As evening rolls in, board your bus with a heart full of memories and a camera full of snow-dusted snapshots. The trek may end here, but the story of Kareri Lake in winter will stay frozen in your soul forever.
