About
If you’re looking for a weekend trek as rewarding as the beauty of treks that are week long, Nag Tibba would be most fitting match. Situated at a decent altitude of 9,915 feet (3022m), Nag Tibba is perfectly suited for the first time trekkers as well as the experienced ones.
The summit of the Nag Tibba being the highest point in the Nag Tibba range of Garhwal Himalayas offers the magnanimous 120 degree view of the notable peaks like Mt. Badarpoonch, Gangotri, Srikantha and Kedarnath on a clear day.
The trek starts from the beautiful village called Pantwari, which is situated around 50 kms from well-known hill station called Mussoorie famously known as Queen of Hills. While driving your way to the village Pantwari, the roads take you through the beautiful towns of Dehradun, Mussoorie and some beautiful sights like Kempty Falls.
One of the notable views not to be missed while being on this trek is the sunset while you are still trekking or from the campsite and it would be an understatement if it said that it is the best view you’ll witness on this trail. The campsite is specifically chosen to provide us the best views without much of the movement once you’re in your tents. Just take a seat in front of your tent and you can witness the breathtaking views right from there.
Just behind the campsite, lies a beautiful forest with oaks and rhododendrons you can explore anytime you feel like taking a short stroll out of the campsite and we assure you, you won’t be disappointed.
