Trek Overview
Nag Tibba Trek – A Perfect Weekend Escape in the Garhwal Hills
Nag Tibba, rising to 9,915 feet, is the highest peak in the Nag Tibba range of the Lesser Himalayas and an ideal weekend trek for beginners and families. Located near Mussoorie and Dehradun, this short yet scenic trail offers a perfect blend of adventure, forest beauty, and panoramic mountain views — all without the risk of altitude sickness.
The trek begins from Pantwari village, leading through rocky paths, oak, and rhododendron forests that turn lush green in summer and snow-clad in winter. Campers can enjoy peaceful nights under starry skies before heading to the Nag Tibba summit, where a temple dedicated to the serpent god stands. From the top, trekkers are rewarded with sweeping views of Bandarpoonch, Kedarnath, and the Gangotri peaks glistening in the distance.
With its easy accessibility and rich natural charm, Nag Tibba is a rejuvenating Himalayan adventure that combines serenity, scenic beauty, and local hospitality in one unforgettable experience.
