The Nag Tibba trek is famous for its accessibility and the breathtaking vistas it offers. Located just a few hours from Dehradun and Mussoorie, it is one of the best weekend treks in Uttarakhand. The trail takes you through lush oak and rhododendron forests, picturesque meadows, and traditional mountain villages, all culminating in the stunning summit views of the Garhwal and Himachal ranges. Peaks like Bandarpoonch, Swargarohini, Kedarnath, and Gangotri are visible on clear days.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Dehradun to Pantwari, the starting point of the trek. After a briefing session and refreshments, you start your hike toward the Nag Tibba Base Camp. The trail is a gentle ascent through terraced fields and dense forest. Reaching the base camp is an experience in itself, as you camp under the starlit sky, surrounded by the serene beauty of the Himalayas.
The trek to the summit starts early the next morning. The trail becomes steeper as you approach the top, but the breathtaking panoramic views at the summit make it all worthwhile.
