Things to do in Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh: The Best Tours

October 2, 2021 Stefan Strunk

Serenely spiritual Dharamsala is home to the largest Tibetan temple outside of Tibet. It’s known for its religious iconography and is the monastery of the Dalai Lama, who holds public lectures a few times a year. Once you’ve restored your spiritual energy, enjoy a picturesque stroll to Bhagsu Waterfall or climb the hill to Triund to bask in stunning views of the Himalayas.

Kareri Lake is a high altitude, shallow, freshwater lake south of the Dhauladhar range approximately 9 km North West of Dharamsala, Himachal Pradesh. Its surface is 2934 meters above sea level. Kareri Lake Trek is formed by the flow of the water bodies from the Minkiani peak. The trek to Kareri Lake Trek is one of the most scenic alpine treks in Himachal Pradesh that goes to several gushing streams and passes through green meadows. You will come across artistic shepherd villages that have a charm of their own. Other attractions are the Lord Shiva temple which is worth a visit. The trail to Kareri Lake Trek will definitely interest you if you're interested in bird watching as there are various species of birds to look out for. So be ready with your cameras for that perfect capture. The forests here are a mix of pines and shrubs which act as perfect hiding for some exclusive birds. Since the source is fresh melting snow, the lake bed can be seen.

It was a very well managed trip and I had an amazing EXPERIENCE. This was my first experience with D2G and I had gone with my cousin brother who has already done 3-4 treks with D2G. The trek leaders (Varun & Aman) were absolutely amazing and took care of the diverse group of 15 people very well such that no one felt left out. The journey was very comfortable and it was thoroughly enjoyable as we played games along the way. The stay was comfortable and we were well rested after the 2 treks. The team took care of every minute detail as they were well prepared for various scenarios. The food was great and the requests of the group were accomodated very well. I would highly recommend D2G for any treks as I plan to do many more with them! It was an amazingly fun, unique, thoroughly enjoyable yet completely value for money experience!!!
