Chamera Lake Boating and Camping

Dalhousie

Chamera Lake is a large reservoir 20 km from Dalhousie created by the Chamera Dam on the Ravi River, and its vast blue expanse surrounded by Dhauladhar foothills is one of the most scenic and serene spots in the Chamba district. Boating on the lake, angling for mahseer, or setting up a lakeside camp under a sky blazing with stars far from urban light pollution makes Chamera Lake one of the most genuinely relaxing Dalhousie activities for nature lovers.

Pro tip from your tour advisor

The lake level drops significantly in winter — check water levels before planning boating. The view of Chamba town from the lake shore is a beautiful bonus.
