Nag-Tibba Trek Overview

Nag Tibba Trek is one of the most popular treks in Uttarakhand around Dehradun. Easily accessible from Delhi, NCR, it is an ideal weekend trek. Rising to a height of 3048 meters (9,920 feet), Nag Tibba ('Serpent's Peak') is the highest peak in the Lower Himalayan range of the Garhwal.

Nag Tibba Trek is a year-round trek with snow in the winter months and pleasant weather in the summer, making it ideal for a trekking and camping experience. Some of the high Himalayan peaks visible from Nag Tibba are Bandarpoonch, Srikanth, Swargarohini, and the Black Peak.

Nag Tibba lies at the foothills of the Garhwal Himalayas, north-east of Mussoorie. The peak owes its name to a Nag Devta temple, and in local legends, it is believed to be the abode of the God of Snakes.

The range of Mussoorie, Vikashnagar, and Bunderpoonch is a view you won’t forget! Witness the lives of the villagers who dwell under the shade of the great mountain peaks; how they go about their daily lives is something worth knowing. Pantwari, the starting point of the trek, is situated 56 km from Mussoorie and about 90 km from Dehradun.

Nag Tibba Trek Itinerary:

Day 1: Dehradun - Pantwari - Nag Tibba Camp | 95 Km Drive | 6 Km Trek 

• The guests will have to report to the Dehradun bus stand or railway station at around 6:30 a.m.
• We begin the day early from Dehradun; this way, the guests can avoid the traffic towards Mussoorie and Kempty Falls.
• After an hour of the journey by road, the guests will reach Panthwari village, our base camp, and begin their ascent to Nag Tibba campsite on a marked route.
• The trekking trail rises beyond the farms and enters wild territory. The trek today is easy to moderate and will take 4-5 hours to reach. We reach the camp site by evening to enjoy the beautiful view of the sun setting over the Himalayas. Nag Tibba Peak is clearly visible from here.
• The Nag Tibba camping site is filled with freshly fallen mint leaves. These leaves can be used to make a fresh brew of mint tea. Kandali shrubs, a local plant, are found here too, which, after being properly washed, can be cooked into a tasty saag (curry).
• Dinner would be served at the campsite, and we would do an overnight stay in our tents.
