TREK DURATION

HIGHEST ALTITUDE

We all know summit climbs are incredibly rewarding in a trek. This is why we have trekkers flocking to treks like Kedarkantha or Deoriatal-Chandrashila. On a trail like Nag Tibba, you get to experience the thrill of a summit climb in just a weekend!

Resting at 9915 ft, the summit of this trek is the highest in the Nag Tibba range of the Garhwal Himalayas . From here, you see a 100-degree view of snow-capped Himalayan ranges such as Swargrohini, Bandarpoonch, Kala Nag, Srikanth, and Gangotri. You also see Kedarnath peak in the north, Doon valley, and the snowy peaks of Changabang. With views like this and a climb to make you earn them, this weekend trek may be one of the best.

As you go up one side of the mountain and come down from another side, you also experience a variety of landscapes. This trek takes you through dense forests, clearings, and ridge walks. All within two days!

This relatively unknown trail near Mussoorie is a good fit for trekkers living in Delhi and the National Capital Region who want to have an adventure over the weekend. For beginners, this trek is great as an introductory trek to the world of trekking.

Nag Tibba - Complete Trek Information

We have always wanted trekkers to be well-informed before they go on a Himalayan trek. Knowledge is the difference between a safe trek and a dangerous one. It’s also the difference between a wholesome experience and a superficial experience.

Use this section to learn about the Nag Tibba trek. It has in-depth information about each day of the trek, what to expect, and how you need to prepare for it. Many years of expertise have gone into this content. Trekkers find that extremely useful.

Please note: The distance between campsites may vary by 100 meters depending the weather conditions and the route you take. The altitude may also vary by 100 feet for similar reasons.

IMPORTANT POINTS

- The breakfast during transit from Dehradun to Pantwari is not included in the trek fee

- You will be staying in tents overnight (2 per tent)

Please note: Twin sharing tents may not be available in May, June, July and August. This is because raw materials for making tents are sourced from different countries. But their export has been affected due to international unrest. This has led to a global shortage of tents. Having said that, you'll still have comfortable space as these tents have been designed to accommodate three trekkers.

How Does Each Day Look

Plan your travel with this

Day 1: Drive from Dehradun to Panthwari. Trek to Khatian

Drive Duration: 2-3 hours | Trek Duration: 5-6 hours

Drive Distance: 100 km | Trek Distance: 5.2 km

Altitude gain: 4652 ft to 7506 ft

Difficulty: Moderate. Gradual ascent throughout the route through the trail made by the forest department. The trail has long patches of loose stones.

Highlights: Watch out for the drive from Mussoorie to Panthwari. The village has a beautiful setting with wheat fields. The trek builds up once you hit the forest check post.

The four-hour road journey (100 km) from Hotel Grand Legacy, Dehradun to Panthwari village takes you via Mussoorie, Kempty falls, over Yamuna Bridge, and up to Nainbagh on the road to Purola. From Nainbagh's main market, take a road going up on the right side (also known as Nag Tibba road). From here, after a 12 km drive, you reach Panthwari village which is the starting point for the trek.

There are three routes that you could take to go to Nag Tibba. This one via Panthwari village is the shortest, with a total trail distance of 8 km from Panthwari Village to the Nag Tibba Summit. However, you will not go all the way to the summit today but stop at Khatian, 4.5 km from Panthwari.

A cemented trail goes up from the heart of the village market. Look for a welcome gate as the trail goes up. A minute into the hike, a “Nag Devta” temple will appear on your left. From this point, the trail curves towards the left, and the cemented trail is now replaced with a rocky shepherds’ trail.

Day 2: Trek from Khatian to Nag Tibba Top. Descend to Pantwari and drive to Dehradun

Trek Duration: 5-6 hours | Trek Distance: 9.3 km

Altitude gain and loss: 7506 ft to 9,915 ft to 4652 ft

Difficulty: Moderate. An hour’s gradual ascent to Nag Tibba base with a section followed by a steep climb to the summit.

Highlights: The summit climb brings a sense of thrill when you trek through the forest section. From the shrine, the climb gets difficult. On the left-hand slope from the top, one can get a terrific view of the Himalayan ranges.

Rise early to get a head start as it is going to be a long day with a lot of walking to do. From Camp 1, locate a trail towards the right going straight into the forest. Most of the trail is in a thickly forested area. The trails from here are well defined. However, during January and February snow makes it difficult to identify the trail.

The landmarks on this 2 km trail to reach Nag Tibba Base are the two small open patches of land which you pass  20 minutes and 35 minutes from Camp 1. The estimated time it takes to reach Nag Tibba Base is around 45 minutes to 1 hour. The route is mostly a gradual walk with a small section of steep ascent for 10 minutes in between. Nag Tibba Base is a large clearing with a temple dedicated to the Serpent God.

You get a view of the Garhwal peaks through the forest. In winter one will encounter a lot of snow here. The last 1 km is a very steep incline going into a forest with hardly any sunlight. This prevents the snow from melting. An able guide who knows the trail can come in handy in such conditions. There are 4 steep climbs while trekking in the forest.

The snow makes the climb more challenging. It can take anywhere between  1 to 1 hour and 15 minutes to reach the summit. The summit is straight up and does not require you to go left or right. As you reach the top, you will see the trail re-appear and curve towards a ridge on the left. Walk for a minute till you see an open patch of land sloping downwards on the other side of the mountain.

Look for a flag on the highest point called Nag Tibba “Jhandi” or summit. Looking down towards the other side of the ridge you will see the route from Deolsari or Devalsari village.

On the left-hand slope from the summit, one can get a terrific view of the Himalayan ranges of Swargrohini, Bandarpoonch, Kala Nag, Srikanta, and Gangotri. The whole section looks beautifully carpeted in snow, making it a true winter weekend trek.

After spending some time at the summit, begin your descent. Retrace your way to Nag Tibba Base.

Alternate route : In absence of snow, take the route going down to Bhatwadi. It is the trail to your right going into the forest.  After 45 minutes of descent on this trail, you start moving along a stream. The stream goes down to Bhatwadi village.

After an hour of descending this trail, you reach a clearing called Moriana. The stream flows on one side here and there are a couple of shepherds’ huts on the other side. This place is encircled by forests and makes for a beautiful spot for photography.

From Moriana, the trail descends into the jungle again. You continue to move along the stream. In about 1.5 hours, the forest cover ends and farms appear. You reach the Forest Department gate in 10 minutes. Bhatwadi village is visible from here but it takes another 45 minutes to reach there. Continue on the main trail and avoid the smaller ones which go off inside the village. This trail reached the entry gate for the Bhatwadi Gaon route and marks the end of the trek.

Panthwari is 8 km from Bhatwadi

In winters, when there is considerable snow on the trail, retrace your route back to Panthwari from Nag Tibba base.

How Difficult Is Nag Tibba Trek

Suitable for Fit Beginners

At Indiahikes, while rating a trek difficulty, we consider many factors. These include altitude gained every day, length of a trek every day, highest altitude, nature of the terrain, weather etc. Based on this we rate a trek as easy or difficult or somewhere in between.

Here, we rate Nagg Tibba as a  ‘Moderate’  trek. It is a trek that takes you to the 9,915 ft, the edge of the High Altitude range. The trek climbs rapidly and your safety depends a lot on the preparation you put in for the trek. You should be fit if you wish to do this trek. It is ideal for fit beginners.

The trek is a short 2-day trek but it climbs quickly. The trek is short but it can get sunny as you walk up. Dehydration is really common if you don’t have enough fluids to hydrate yourself.

Safety on the Nag Tibba Trek

• Safety - Terrain wise
• Safety - Altitude wise

Being a short weekend trek, Nag tibba poses a very low risk. The only steep section happens on Day 2 for about half a kilometre before the summit. It will slow your climb down.

However, Nag tibba does have some sections you need to be careful about. We discuss them here:

1. Quick ascent from Panthwadi to 1st Campsite

On Day 1, you will gain almost 3000 ft of altitude within the first 5 km of the trek .  This puts a lot of strain on the body.

Make sure you take enough rest once you reach the campsite and get 7-8 hours of sleep.

2. Multiple Trails

The trails at Nag Tibba are well defined. You still need to walk on the right trail. There will be an instance during your trek that will have 3 trails- One leading to the summit and the other 2 leading to different settlements. You need a guide to take you on a right track. If you are trekking on your own, you will need a detailed GPX file for assistance.

As discussed in the above section, you are exposed to the risk of AMS when you cut the itinerary short. But if you are trekking on your own, and are short on time then pay close attention to your body for any signs of altitude sickness.

As a precaution, choose to stay at Panthwadi before starting your trek to ease into the altitude gain. Going on a precautionary course of Diamox for the initial days is also advisable.

In case you feel sick or not at ease, do not ignore it or take it lightly. Attend to your uneasiness and take curative measures. Check oxygen levels, go on a curative course of Diamox, drink water and rest. If you do not feel normal after a few hours or overnight, do not proceed further on the trek.

• How To Treat Altitude Sickness – AMS, HAPE, & HACE
• How To Prevent Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), HAPE and HACE
• 3 Life Saving Drugs You MUST Have To Tackle Altitude Sickness – AMS, HAPE, and HACE

Medical Emergencies can strike on any trek. The key to dealing with them lies in knowing your exit points. Know how to get out and reach the nearest hospital quickly.

On the Nag Tibba trek, your best bet is to descend to  Panthwari  if you have not trekked far. If you are deep inside the trek, after Day2, your best option is to descend to  Bhatwadi .

In case of a medical emergency, the closest hospital is at Panthwari and Bhatwadi. If you need serious medical attention, head to Dehradun or Mussoorie for better facilities.

Best Time To Do Nag Tibba Trek

Nag Tibba in Autumn

The best time to do the trek would be in the  post-monsoon months of September, October and November . Post monsoon, the sky is washed clean of all the haze.

It's a great time to do Nag Tibba as leaves turn brown making the trek look orange in colour. Witness these as you trek, inhaling the crisp, pine-scented autumn air.

Nag Tibba during the Winter

The next best time to do Nag Tibba is in Winter. It provides a great time for snow experience on the Nag Tibba trek in the month of  December-January-February . The snow isn’t too thick to block the trail. It isn’t so thin that it disappears within a few days either.

It’s a wonderful time to camp and trek in the snow.

Nag Tibba in Spring

Spring in Nag Tibba starts by mid March and goes on till the end of April. The snows start to melt at the upper reaches while the grass begins to turn green throughout the trek. Tiny flowers make their heads out of the grass while  rhododendrons  bloom on the trees.

Nag Tibba during Summer

Summers bring out a green colour palette on this trek, one that you might not witness in any other season. You will witness tonnes of Coniferous and oak trees.

The forests and meadows look bright and sunny during May-June.

The trek is at its easiest and is a great getaway from the summer heat of the plains. It also makes for the perfect time to introduce children to the Himalayas during their summer vacations.

What To Pack For Your Nag Tibba Trek

• Mandatory Documents
• The Essentials
• Personal Medical Kit

These are documents required for legal purposes by Indiahikes and the forest department. Without any of these, you will not be allowed to trek.

• Original and photocopy of government photo identity card.  Anything such as a driver’s license, Aadhar Card, or passport will do. This is required by the forest department for your identification.  
• Disclaimer certificate: There are two sections in this. The first part is a personal medical record.  The second part is a legal requirement. Download the PDF, read carefully, fill in and sign it. This must be handed over to your Trek Leader during registration at the base camp. – Download disclaimer certificate
• Medical certificate: The medical certificate needs to be filled out by an MBBS doctor, without which the forest department will not issue permissions for your trek. It is also a requirement by Indiahikes – Download medical certificate

Note:  Indiahikes has a panel of doctors who can help you with a medical certificate. They are available for online consultation. To get in touch with them, please write to [email protected] . They will respond to you within 24 hours.

Consultation fee: Rs 300

Keep important documents in a clear plastic cover and slide them into the inner pocket at the back of your backpack. This keeps them from getting wet.  

Nag Tibba is high altitude trek. The trekking gear you need to carry for this trek is different from regular treks. So pay careful attention to this entire section.

First, The Essentials. You cannot do the trek without these.

1. trekking shoes:.

 The Nag Tibba trek requires sturdy trekking shoes, has good grip, has ankle support and can handle snow. Here is  a quick video on how to choose your trekking shoes .  

| Buying Tip : The  Trek  series and  MH  series are good options by Decathlon. They are tried and tested. There isn’t any necessity to buy the higher-priced models. Here is  a list of other budget shoes that trekkers are using .

|  Rental : We have the  Trek  series and the  MH  series are available for  rent from the Crosstrek Rental store . They are already broken into and in good condition. Rental shoes are  not  dirty or unhygienic.  This is how they are kept clean . Rent here -  MH 100  and  Trek 100 .

2. Backpack :

For a trek like Nag Tibba, you need a 20-30 litre backpack. Make sure your backpack has good hip support, shoulder support and quick access pockets. Here is  a guide on how to choose a backpack . 

| Buying Tip : Wildcraft, Decathlon and Adventure Worx usually make good backpacks. While Wildcraft has more expensive ones, the other two brands have budget-friendly backpacks to choose from.

| Rental : The 55-litre backpack is available for rent from the Indiahikes store. They are custom-made for our Himalayan treks. Rent them if you don’t have a backpack.  Rent here .

3. Clothes:

Wearing layers is the mantra in the mountains. Layers give you maximum protection from all elements. And when the weather changes in the mountains (as it happens every few hours), you take off or put on layers as required. 

Base layer:

3 t-shirts :.

Wear one T-shirt and carry two. Carry full sleeve dry-fit T-shirts (preferably collared). These prevent your arms and neck from getting sunburnt. In the rarified air on the trek, especially at high altitudes,  UV rays can burn you in no time . Dry-fit T-shirts quickly dry your sweat, they are easy to wash and in case of a rainy day, they dry quicker. Round neck T-shirts are ok, but collared ones are better.

| Cotton or Synthetic ? As Indians, we love cotton. Down in the plains when the heat is blistering 40°C it makes sense to wear cotton. But it takes a long time to dry when it gets wet. In the mountains, where it is cooler, synthetic is what you wear. They wick sweat rapidly and keep you dry. (But they do tend to smell quickly, so carry a roll-on deodorant with you.)

| Pro Tip : If you are extra susceptible to cold, you could get a set of thermal inners. In our experience, wearing two T-shirts over another works as a better thermal. And they save you weight and space since you’re already carrying them. 

3 insulation layers:

The highest altitude you reach on this trek is 9806 ft. At these altitudes, it can get cold even in the middle of summer. You will need at least 3 insulation layers for this trek. You will need 2 light fleece layers and 1 full-sleeve light sweater. Do not get your grandma stitched sweaters, which can be very heavy. You need sweaters and fleece jackets that can fold into compact rolls.

1 Outer layer:

A padded jacket serves the purpose here. You don’t need a water-resistant material. But you need an outer padded jacket that keeps the wind and cold out. Ensure your padded jacket has a hood as well.

| Do you need a down/feather jacket?  Not really. A regular padded/shell jacket will do.  This video here will help you to learn more about the difference .

Note : Down/feather jackets are not available these days. Many jackets masquerade as down/feather jackets. They are essentially fine polyester-filled jackets. They mimic the function of a down jacket but are usually expensive.

| Rental : Padded jackets are available for rent at the Crosstrek Rental store. They are custom-made for Indiahikes and trekkers find them terrific, even in winter.  Rent here .

Two trek pants:

Two pairs of trek pants should suffice for this trek. Wear one pair and carry two just in case it rains. Trek pants with zippered cut-offs at the thighs are very suitable for treks. Also, choose quick-dry pants over cotton. They dry up soon in case of small stream crossings/rain.

| Buying tip:  Go for pants with zippered pockets. They come in handy to keep your phone, handkerchief or pocket snacks.

| Track pants or trek pants?  Stretchable track pants make a good backup and can double up as your thermal bottoms. But track pants do not trek pants — so don’t use them as your main outerwear. Keep them only as a backup.

Mandatory Accessories, without these too you won’t be able to do the trek. 

These accessories are mandatory. Don’t go to Nag Tibba without them. Trekkers generally put off purchasing / borrowing the accessories for the last minute. We suggest the opposite. Start gathering these accessories first. 

1. Sunglasses:

Sunglasses are to prevent snow blindness. On a trek like Nag Tibba, you are in a permafrost region (there’s snow all around the year). Expect to walk on long stretches of snow. A small overexposure to direct sunlight on snow can lead to snow blindness (about a half hour’s exposure). That’s because fallen snow is like thousands of mirrors that reflect direct UV rays. So you need  sunglasses with UV protection .

| Tip:  Try getting sunglasses that wrap around instead of those that have openings on the side. Even peripheral UV ray exposure is not a good idea.

Wear sunglasses if the trekking day is bright and sunny (on open sections, meadows). On a snowy section, you must never take off your sunglasses until the section has been fully crossed.

| Rental:  The polarised hiking sunglasses are available for rent from the Indiahikes store. They are custom-made for our Himalayan treks. Rent them if you don’t have a pair of sunglasses.  Rent here .

| If you wear spectacles : If you wear spectacles, you can get oversized sunglasses that you wear over your regular glasses (available at Decathlon). If that is cumbersome, photochromic lenses work equally well. Here’s  a quick guide on managing sunglasses with spectacles .

| Contact lens users : If you use contact lenses, you can use them on the trek too. The lens solution will not freeze. You will also not face any problems in changing your lens in your tent. Just carry enough cleaning solution with you to clean your fingers well. Wear your sunglasses over your contact lens.   

 2. Suncap:

A sun cap is mandatory. Trekking without a sun cap can lead to headaches, sunstrokes, quick dehydration and a sharp drop in trekking performance.

| Tip : In the mountains, the general rule is to keep your head covered at all times. During the day a sun cap protects you from the harsh rays of the sun (it is doubly stronger with naked UV rays). A sun cap keeps your body temperature in balance. In the evening/early morning, the reverse is true. Your head loses your body heat quickly. A woollen cap prevents heat from dissipating from your head.

| Buying Tip:  The Crosstrek suncap is available for purchase at the Crosstrek Merchandise store. It is custom-made for our Himalayan treks with UV Protection and an adjustable strap.  Buy here .

| Pro Tip : Sun caps with flaps are a blessing for trekkers. They cut out almost all UV leaks. They prevent sunburns in every possible way. They are a lot more effective than sunscreen lotion. A wide-brimmed sports hat also helps to prevent sunburn in a big way. 

3. Synthetic hand gloves:

Synthetic hand gloves : On a trek like Nag Tibba you are going to be handling snow quite a bit. You’ll need gloves to grip something or to steady yourself in snow. You also want the gloves to keep you warm. Get synthetic hand gloves that have waterproofing on the outside and a padded lining on the inside. If you find the combination difficult to get (not likely), wear a tight-fitting fleece hand glove inside a synthetic hand glove. Hand gloves are mandatory on this trek.

| Buying tip:  The Crosstrek Waterproof gloves are available at the Crosstrek Merchandise store. They are custom-made for our Himalayan treks.  Buy here .

4. Woollen cap or Balaclava:

Ensure these cover your ears. In the cold mountains, you lose maximum heat from your head, not from your hands, feet or the rest of your body. This is why you need to keep your head protected, especially when the sun is down. Early mornings, late evenings, and a cold trekking day are when you must use your woollen cap.

Your ears are sensitive too, so a woollen head cap that covers your ears is essential. A balaclava is a modern version of the woollen cap. It covers your ears, neck and parts of your face as well. Do not get a woollen cap that only covers your head. 

| Buying Tip:  The Crosstrek Fleece cap and the Crosstrek neck warmer are available for purchase at the Crosstrek Merchandise store. Buy here -  Crosstrek Fleece Cap  and  Crosstrek Neck Warmer .

5. Socks (3 pairs):

Apart from two sports socks, take a pair of woollen socks. Sports socks give you cushioning plus warmth. Again the mantra is to wear synthetic socks or at least a synthetic blend. Cotton socks soak in water and sweat. They are very hard to dry. As for woollen socks, they help you to keep warm and snug at the night. If you cannot get woollen socks, wearing two sports socks serves the purpose as well. 

| Buying Tip: Waterproof socks are available for purchase at the Crosstrek Merchandise store. They are custom-made for our Himalayan treks.  Buy here .

6. Headlamp :

Trekkers are often confused about whether they need to get a headlamp or a handheld torch. You need to get a headlamp because it leaves your hands free to do other activities. On the Nag Tibba trek, you’ll need your hands free to wash dishes, pitch tents and hold your trek poles.

| Buying tip:  Ensure your headlamp covers a wider area and is not too focused as a single beam. On a trek, your headlamp must help you see around you as much as ahead of you. 

| Rental : Headlamps are available for rent at the Crosstrek Rental store.  Rent here .

7. Trekking pole (a pair):

Trekking pole (a pair):  Trekking poles give you stability and balance. They reduce your energy consumption by almost 40%. On the Nag Tibba trek, there are steep ascents and descents. A pair of trekking poles will make the difference between a comfortable and a strenuous trek. In India, we tend to use a single trekking pole. However, two trekking poles give you greater stability and balance. They also increase your walking pace.

| Rental : Imported side-locking trekking poles are available for rent at the Crosstrek Rental store.  Rent here .

8. Rainwear:

On a trek, the weather can change quickly. A bright sunny day can turn into a downpour in a matter of minutes. Carry a poncho or a rain jacket to tackle this. A poncho is a big rain cover with openings for your arms and your head. It is extremely effective because it covers both you and your backpack. It is extremely light and weighs next to nothing.

Rain jackets are more streamlined and less cumbersome but weigh more. Rain pants are not required. Dry fit trek pants dry quickly even if soaking wet.

| Rental:  High-grade ponchos are available for rent at the Crosstrek Rental store.  Rent here .

9. Rain cover for your backpack:

Backpacks are your life. You carry all your dry clothes and your warm gear in your backpack. Your backpack must stay dry at all times. Modern backpacks usually come with built-in rain-covers. If your backpack does not have a rain cover, ensure you get a rain cover by either (a) buying a rain cover or (b) or cutting a large plastic sheet to the size of your backpack. You can roll the plastic sheet around your backpack and keep it in place with a string or elastic. 

| Pro tip:  It’s good practice to compartmentalise your clothes, accessories and other things in plastic covers inside your backpack. That way, even if it rains and your backpack gets wet, your things are water-proof inside the backpack.

| Rental Tip:  Rain covers are available for rent at the Crosstrek Rental store.  Rent here .

10. Daypack (20-30 ltrs, optional):

In your daypack, you carry essentials like water bottles, rainwear, emergency medicines, a headlamp, some snacks and a warm layer. Your main backpack that carries most of your equipment is accessible only at the campsites. 

A daypack is a smaller backpack that is usually of 20-30 ltr capacity. Laptop bags are not daypacks. Do not get them.

Other mandatory requirements

1. a toilet kit:.

Keep your toilet kit light. Carry just the basics — toothbrush, toothpaste, small soap, toilet tissue roll, a small moisturiser, lip balm, and a roll-on deodorant. You will not be able to have a bath on the trek, so don’t overload on soaps and shampoos.

| Pro tip:  Carry miniature-sized items. You will not need more than that. If you’re travelling in a group, share one toothpaste for all.

Avoid getting large toilet rolls. The smallest size roll is more than enough for a trek like Nag Tibba.

| For women:  If you are likely to have your periods on your trek date, don’t worry about it. You can use your pads, tampons or menstrual cups on the trek. There will be toilet tents where you can get changed. Make sure you carry ziplock bags to bring back your menstrual waste. Don’t leave behind any waste in the mountains.  Watch this video to learn how to dispose of your sanitary waste .

2. Cutlery:

Carry a lunch box, a coffee mug and a spoon. Your lunch box must be leakproof. You are expected to wash your cutlery. Trekkers often expect Indiahikes to wash their cutlery. When you allow Indiahikes to wash your cutlery, your cutlery becomes part of a mass washing system. You immediately invite germs, and bacteria to settle on your cutlery. The incidence of stomach disorders rises exponentially.

| Pro tip:  Carry stainless steel cutlery. Avoid fancy high-grade plastic cutlery. Stainless steel cutlery is infinitely easier to wash in cold water. Grease is easier to remove and hygiene is at its highest.  Watch this video on why steel cutlery is better than plastic.

| Rental Tip 1:  Tiffin boxes can be rented at the Crosstrek Rental store.  Rent here .

| Buying Tip:  The 'Trekker for Life - All purpose mug' is available for purchase at the Crosstrek Merchandise store.  Buy here .

3. Two 1 litre bottles or a 2-litre hydration pack:

Nag Tibba has a few long walking days. You need to carry two one-litre water bottles to keep yourself hydrated over the distance. If you are used to a hydration pack, then that is ok too. If one among the two bottles is a lightweight thermos, then that helps you to store warm water on a really cold day or for late evenings and early mornings.

| Rental Tip 2:  You could rent lightweight thermos flasks from the Crosstrek Rental store.  Rent here .

| Rental Tip 3:  Water bottles can be rented at the Crosstrek Rental store.  Rent here.

4. Plastic covers:

Carry 3-4 old plastic covers to keep your used clothes. You could use them even for wet clothes. Re-use old plastic bags for this and do not buy new ones.

• How to pack your backpack
• How to choose your trekking shoes 
• Trekking shoes vs sports shoes. How are they different?
• How to layer up on a Himalayan trek
• Why you need a trekking pole
• How to manage sanitary waste on a trek

Carry these medicines with you, easily accessible at all times.  Do not take any medicine unless you have consulted your trek leader . 

• Diamox  (1 Strip): Be on a course of a half tablet of Diamox starting from Delhi every 12 hours (125 mg). Carry on the medication until you descend. Being on a preventive course of Diamox greatly reduces the chances of Acute Mountain Sickness on the Nag Tibba trek.
• Dolo 650  (5 tablets): This is a paracetamol. It helps to tackle fever, mild pain
• Avomine  (4 tablets): Carry this especially if you are prone to motion sickness. Pop one-half hour before the start of your road journey.
• Combiflam  (5 tablets): Take a combiflam if you get a sudden twist of the leg or a muscle strain. It is a pain reliever. It also contains paracetamol. 
• Digene  (4 tablets): Take it if you feel the food that you’ve taken is undigested. Alert your trek leader immediately. It could be a sign of AMS. 
• ORS  (6 packs): Consume a pack of ORS water at least once a day, usually the mid-day when you are in the middle of your trek. It replenishes essential salts lost while trekking.   Tip : It also makes cold water easier to drink.
• Knee Brace  (optional) :  Carry this if you are prone to knee injury or have known issues of knee pain.

Our trek leaders carry a high altitude medical kit with them which also consist of  Life Saving Drugs . If there is an emergency our trek leaders know how to tackle it. Meanwhile, contact your trek leader before consuming any of these medicines listed here.

| Pro tip:  We find that these medicines by trekkers are rarely used. But you cannot do away with them. At the end of the trek please donate unused medicines to your trek leader. Some of these medicines get distributed to villages on the trek and some are added to the Indiahikes medical kit.   

How To Reach Nag Tibba Basecamp

It is great to see you going on the Nag Tibba Trek, While it is a great trek to do, you  need to get your travel plan worked out perfectly. Here is a step-by-step guide on what to do next. Use this guide and nothing else to plan your travel.  

• A quick view of your travel plan ( Skip to this section )
• Planning onward air/train booking ( Skip to this section )
• Planning return air/train booking ( Skip to this section )
• Planning your hotel bookings  ( Skip to this section )
• How to reach Panthwari on your own ( Skip to this section )

1. Here’s a quick view of how to plan your travel

Day 0: Book your air ticket to Delhi or Dehradun. If Dehradun, proceed to Hotel Grand Legacy, Dehradun for pickup. If Delhi, book a night train/bus to Dehradun. 

Day 1:  Dehradun to Panthwari drive. It is a 2-3 hour drive from Dehradun. Panthwari is the basecamp for your trek. 

We organise transport to Panthwari from Hotel Grand Legacy, Dehradun. Our vehicles leave at 6:00 am sharp.  Day 1: Trek Panthwari (4,642 ft) to Khatian (7,627 ft);  5-6 hours, 4.5 km

Day 2: Trek Khatian (7,627 ft) to Nag Tibba Summit (9,915 ft) via Nag Tibba Base (8,530 ft); descend to Bhatwadi and drive back to Dehradun via Panthwari. 5-6 hour trek, 11 km and 5-6 hour drive.

Day 3: Book a return train ticket to Delhi from Dehradun (Nanda Devi or Mussoorie express). Or book a direct air ticket from Dehradun. 

Note:  While getting to Panthwari, we recommend you arrive a day earlier and stay at Dehradun (Day zero). On your return from the trek, you will get off at Dehradun.  You reach Dehradun between 9:00 and 10:00 pm. 

2. Planning your onward flight/train booking

If you are travelling from Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, Mumbai or any other city, book your air tickets either for  Day Minus One , which is the  day before  Day 1 on the itinerary or book a flight/train as such where you will reach half an hour before the pick-up time.

There are two options for your flight booking. Option 1:

Fly directly to Dehradun. 

We recommend this. It gives you an added rest day at Dehradun. Most metros are directly connected to Dehradun. However, if the cost of the flight ticket to Dehradun is too high, book to Delhi and connect to Dehradun by train/bus. 

The Dehradun airport is inconvenient when it comes to city connectivity. Taxis are available from the airport (plenty). Prepaid taxis are available (look for the pre-paid taxi counter just out of the conveyor belt at the arrivals). You can also flag down a taxi (bargain a bit) with taxis outside the airport. Airport taxis are exorbitant. They usually charge Rs 1500. 

Usually, most passengers take taxis from the airport. Try to coordinate your travel with co-passengers on the flight for your taxi ride to Dehradun. 

Pro Tip : If you want to save real money walk 1.5 km to get to the Dehradun-Rishikesh national highway just outside the airport terminal complex. Take a bus to ISBT Dehradun which will charge you Rs. 40. From ISBT Dehradun take a shared auto (shared autos are called  Vikrams ) to Dehradun Railway Station. Shared autos charge about Rs. 10. 

Flying to Delhi. Flying to Delhi may be a lot cheaper than getting to Dehradun. Make sure to book a flight that reaches Delhi by 8.00 pm. You must arrive in Delhi on Day Zero and not on Day 1.

| Note:  If you notice the difference in air ticket prices between Delhi and Dehradun is less than Rs 1000 then book directly to Dehradun. The rest and shorter travel time are worth the difference.  

Next, book yourself on the Nanda Devi Express to Dehradun (Train No: 12401). It is a fully AC train that leaves at 23.45 hrs from Hazrat Nizamuddin and gets to Dehradun at 5.40 am.

| Note :  Earlier the Nanda Devi express would depart from New Delhi railway station. From 26 Aug 2019, it leaves from Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station. The train now comes from Kota. So expect about 15 to 30 mins delay in arrival. The train number has changed too from 12206 to 12401.

For Metro train connectivity from Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi, take a metro to Dhaula Kuan metro station. Get off and walk down to Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus metro station (there are convenient traveller belts over a skywalk). Take a metro to Hazrat Nizamuddin metro station over the pink line. It takes about 45 mins to an hour to get to Hazrat Nizamuddin over the metro.

At Dehradun, wait for Indiahikes pick up at 6.30 am. Contact your driver by 6.00 am. The number of your transport coordinator will be shared with you a week before your departure. 

| Caution : Do not book on any other train except the Nanda Devi Express. The other option, Mussoorie express, is notorious for its delay. Your pickup vehicle may leave without you. If you do not get tickets on the Nanda Devi Express, take a bus from Delhi to Dehradun, but do not book on the Mussoorie express.

If in case you do not get a train ticket, there are regular Volvo AC buses from Delhi’s ISBT Kashmiri Gate to Dehradun. You also get Non-AC buses. Buses are frequent and not usually crowded. You can get a bus almost every half hour. Buses take 7-8 hours to get to Dehradun from Delhi. AC bus tickets cost about Rs 700.  

3. Planning your return flight/train booking

 If your onward flight departs from Delhi, then book flight tickets for Day 4. 

Sometimes trekkers worry if they can book an early morning flight out of Delhi on Day 3. Yes, you can. But book flights that depart only after 8 am. Do not book any flight between 6.00 and 8 am. You may not reach Delhi in time. 

How to get to Delhi on time for an early morning flight . 

If your flight is early, say between 8.00 and 9.00 am, then there are two options. 

Train : Take the Nanda Devi Express from Haridwar (12402) that leaves Haridwar slightly past midnight (00.17 hrs) to get to Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station at 4.50 in the morning. From Hazrat Nizamuddin, you get airport buses from outside the station as well as taxis. The Metro train is somewhat inconvenient from Hazrat Nizamuddin. 

| Note :  Earlier Nanda Devi express would arrive at the New Delhi railway station. From 26 August 2019, it has been extended up to Kota. It no longer goes to the New Delhi railway station. Instead, it goes to Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station .  The train number has changed from 12206 to 12402.    Bus : The other option is to take a bus from Dehradun. It is about a 5½ – 6 hrs journey to Delhi. So if you take a bus that leaves around 9.00 pm, then expect to reach Delhi at around 3.00 am (ISBT Kashmiri Gate). A bus that leaves at 10 pm will reach Delhi around 4.00 am. AC Volvo buses are the fastest, so opt for them. Non AC buses can take up to 7-8 hrs for the journey. 

From Kashmiri Gate ISBT you get Airport buses or taxis.

| Note : Metro trains in Delhi do not start before 5.00 am.  

If you are taking a flight out of Dehradun

If you are taking a flight out of Dehradun then book yourself on  Day 3 . Most metros are now well connected by Dehradun by flight.

How to get fit for the Nag Tibba Trek

Fitness matters for the trek

We recommend jogging as the best routine to get fit for a trek. It works on the same muscles that you use while trekking — your calves, glutes and hamstrings. It helps increase your stamina day by day. It is also an easy routine that does not require any equipment or tools.

Fitness target: 

To do this trek comfortably, you must be able to cover 5 km in under 35 minutes. This is the minimum fitness required for this trek.

How to achieve this fitness? 

• Start jogging at least 4 days a week 
• If you cannot run 5 km immediately, start with 2 km and increase to 5 km over 2-3 weeks.
• Once you’re able to run 5 km, increase your pace day by day. 
• Gradually increase your pace and bring it down to 5 km in less than 35 mins.
• You must be able to run 5 km in 35 mins consistently for at least 2 weeks before the trek. 

This trek requires at least 6-8 weeks of preparation. The longer, the better. So plan your trek soon and start preparing. 

Here's a complete guide to get you trek fit.

Strength training tips:

How to get Fitness Approval from the Indiahikes team:

Every trekker needs fitness approval from the Indiahikes team 20 days before the trek date. Without this, you will not be allowed on the trek. 

What to upload? 

• A minimum of 3 screenshots of your runs/jogs/walks/cycling 
• Monthly summary of your routine

Why fitness matters: 

Every high-altitude trek comes with a set of challenges. Steep ascents and descents, uneven terrain, snow walks, stream crossings, pass crossings, and summit climb. Even the easiest of treks have some of these challenges if not all of them. Without fitness, trekkers struggle, get injured easily, lag behind, or simply fail to complete the trek. 

At Indiahikes, we take pride in the fact that our trekkers are among the fittest in the country. Those who do not meet the fitness requirements are often sent back. Our philosophy is that trekking and fitness go hand in hand. Without fitness, there’s no trekking.

What To Watch Out For on Nag Tibba Trek

Here are the Highlights from Nag Tibba Trek

1 . The view of the sunset from campsite

This is one of the few treks we have where you can see spellbinding sunsets. This is because of the direction this trail faces. On a clear day, you see big snow-capped mountains like Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, Kalanag, Srikanth, and Gangotri lighting up a shade of fiery orange. Below you, you see a bed of clouds float. You don’t even have to climb to a high point to see this sunset. You can see it right from your campsite!

The sunset view from the Khatian campsite is stunning to say the least. Picture by Kumar Amrit

2 . The trail to Bhatwadi village

The summit day for Nag Tibba is a long one. Right after you touch the summit, you start descending to a village called Bhatwadi. This route is extremely picturesque. An hour into your descent, you enter a clearing called Moriana where there is a stream on one side and you see a couple of shepherds’ huts on the other side. This place is encircled by forests. It is a lovely spot for taking photographs!

From here, the trail goes through a lovely forest cover that moves along the stream. When you enter farms after an hour or so, you are disappointed that such a beautiful trail is coming to an end.

Note : Depending on the group’s fitness, weather conditions and snow, your Trek Leader takes a final call whether you descend from Bhatwadi or retrace the route back to Panthwari

Nag Tibba Trek

The Nag Tibba Trek is a delightful weekend adventure that provides the opportunity to immerse yourself in the tranquility and natural beauty of the mountain range. While the trail is relatively short and straightforward at the beginning, it gradually becomes more challenging as you progress. Along the way, hikers can relish stunning mountain views and encounter a variety of wildlife species, including butterflies, birds, and frogs. Although the path is well-marked and easy to follow, trekking during winter may pose additional challenges.

The trek to Nag Tibba’s base camp spans 8 kilometers. Although the trail may become slippery and muddy during the monsoon season, the breathtaking scenery more than compensates for the challenging conditions. The journey typically takes around two days, allowing for sufficient rest stops.

The final section of the trek is relatively more accessible and can be completed in a couple of days. It’s important to stay well-hydrated as the hike can be demanding. Once you reach the summit, you’ll be rewarded with awe-inspiring views. Although the trek is manageable, heavy woolen clothing is not essential.

Beginning at the village of Pantwari, situated at an elevation of 4,640 feet, the trek leads to the mountain’s peak, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Throughout the trek, you’ll encounter meadows, undulating sections, and dense forests. This hike offers outstanding views of Nag Tibba’s mountains and hills and is suitable for various seasons.

The steep trail can be quite strenuous, and beginners are advised to take 30-minute breaks to rehydrate. Carrying water bottles and other essentials is imperative. In winter, the peaks are covered in snow.

The best time to visit Nag Tibba is from September to March, when there is an abundance of snow and the weather is pleasantly cold. Despite the chilly nights, the trek offers delightful experiences during the day, with spectacular views of snow-covered valleys and mountains, making it an ideal destination for weekend getaways.

Although not overly challenging, the trek’s stunning scenery and occasional snowfall make it incredibly rewarding. Summer, when flowers are in bloom, is an especially enchanting time to visit. The view from the top of Nag Tibba is breathtaking from all angles, making it perfect for hiking enthusiasts.

The Nag Tibba Peak Trek is an extraordinary experience that allows you to immerse yourself in the forests, scenery, and local culture of the region. The best time to explore this stunning mountain range in tranquility is during summer, and it’s also possible to trek through the snow.

Know Everything About Acute Mountain Sickness

Acute Mountain Sickness is a medical condition that can occur when individuals travel to high altitudes, typically above 8,000 feet. It is caused by the decrease in air pressure and oxygen levels in the air as altitude increases. Symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness may include headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and difficulty sleeping. To avoid Acute Mountain Sickness, it is important to gradually adjust to high altitudes and seek medical attention if symptoms worsen. To learn more about this condition, check out the videos by Trekup India.

What should you pack for the Kashmir Nag Tibba Trek

Tibba Trek  is a high-altitude trek. The trekking gear you have to have for this particular trek differs from normal treks. Thus, read this whole segment. There is an important question that the trekker who is doing trek asks, like what all things to carry while trekking. Below, we have provided the details on everything you should take; an easy way to remember is by Head to foot or foot to head. We have prepared from Head to foot.

When trekking it's important to carry headgear to protect your head and face.

Heading  out for a trek? Don’t forget to carry headgear to protect your beautiful face and head from the sun, wind, and dust! It’s an essential accessory that keeps you safe and comfortable throughout your adventurous journey. So, make sure you pack it before you step out into nature!

• Head Lamps  –  When trekking at night, headlamps are essential to illuminate your path while keeping your hands free. Headlamps come in different sizes and lumens, so it is essential to choose one that suits your needs.
• Hats or Cap  –  Caps or hats are also necessary when trekking in different weather conditions. Caps protect your head from the wind and freezing temperatures at night, while hats provide shade and protection from the sun during the day. It’s essential to ensure that your hat has a strap to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
• Sunglasses  –  Sunglasses are also essential for trekking. Your sunglasses should protect your eyes from harmful UV rays and fit your face perfectly to avoid falling off while climbing, jumping, or crossing obstacles. The glass of your sunglasses should also be designed for different weather conditions to provide optimal visibility.
• Buff / Balaclava  –  Lastly, a buff or balaclava is a must-have to protect your mouth or neck from extreme temperatures and keep them warm. Buffs and balaclavas come in different materials, thicknesses, and designs, so it’s important to choose one that suits your needs and preferences. Depending on the weather conditions and your activities, you can wear them as neck warmers, face masks, or headbands.

When trekking in high altitudes, prepare for cold weather by wearing layers. Layering traps heat, keeps you warm, and allows you to easily adjust your clothing as temperatures fluctuate.

Layering is important for different seasons when trekking. When planning a high-altitude trek, it is important to prepare for the cold weather. Wearing layers is the best approach as it provides both protection and flexibility when the weather changes frequently in the mountains. Layering helps to trap heat and keep your body warm, while at the same time allowing you to easily adjust your clothing as the temperature fluctuates. By wearing layers, you can enjoy your trek comfortably and stay safe in the unpredictable mountain weather

• For spring, summer, and monsoon treks , consider wearing three layers: a woollen sweater, a fleece, and a padded jacket.
• For  autumn treks , add one more fleece layer to make it four layers.
• For  winter treks , you may need five layers with thermals, a woollen sweater, two fleeces, and a padded jacket.
• T-shirt/sleeve shirt – Bring three T-shirts and two quick-dry trek pants, wearing one and carrying the others. Long sleeve shirts help to protect from sun UV rays. We recommend synthetic T-shirts as they get dry quickly when they get wet.
• Hiking / Trekking Jacket – down jackets (-5 to-10 C) or two-three-layer jackets.
• Thermals – at least two pairs of thermals help keep the body warm during cold weather.
• Undergarments – you can carry them according to your habitual and hygiene requirements.
• Gloves – 1 pair of gloves will keep your hand warm and nice.
• Trek Pants – Bring 2 to 3 comfortable trekking pants. Trekking pants play a significant role, as they are designed for comfort and mobility, making trekking easier. It should be Synthetic so that it gets dry quickly when wet.
• Rain Wear – you can carry a raincoat or Poncho. During long rains and snowfalls, the waterproof jackets start leaking. Still, the Poncho and raincoats keep you dry, so choose accordingly.

Tip:  If you choose a raincoat on your trek, carry a small waterproof cover so things inside your backpack can’t get wet. If you carry a Poncho, you don’t need to worry. It protects both you and your backpack.

When it comes to planning a trek, one of the most important aspects is to ensure that you have the right kind of foot gear.

• Trekking shoes  which are waterproof and have ankle support. Walking / Hiking sandals which can be used off the trek, i.e., in the morning and evening hours when you reach the campsite, basically to get your feet rest from heavy boots, sometimes used for crossing streams and rivers, it’s more comfortable and safer than crossing barefoot or wetting your shoes. Sneakers (Optional) can be worn for normal driving days or used around the camp.
• Socks – you should at least carry 3 to 4 pairs.
• Microspikes & Gaitors will be provided by Trekup India when required. You don’t have to carry them.

Personal First Aid Kit

Don't forget to pack your personal first aid kit! It's always better to be safe. So, make sure you're prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.

Below are some common medicines generally required/used during your adventure trip; however, please consult your doctors prior.

Fitness required & preparation guide for nag tibba trek.

If you’re preparing for a Nag Tibba Trek, Trekup India recommends jogging as part of your fitness routine. Jogging helps work out the same muscle groups that you’ll use during trekking and can help you build endurance. You don’t need any special equipment to get started.

Fitness Target

Trekup India has put the Nag Tibba Trek into an easy-to-moderate-grade-level trek. 

For Easy – Moderate Treks –  In order to be well-prepared for your upcoming trek, it is recommended that you focus on building your endurance by aiming to cover a distance of 4.5 kilometers in less than 45 minutes. This will help you to develop the necessary stamina and strength required to successfully complete your journey.

How to Achieve This Fitness Target?

To start preparing for your trek:

• Try jogging for at least five days every week.
• If you find 5 km too difficult at first, begin with 2 km and gradually increase over 2-3 weeks.
• Once you feel more comfortable running 5 km, focus on improving your speed gradually on a daily basis.

It is important to ensure that you can consistently complete 4.5 km in under 40 minutes for at least two weeks before your planned trek. Allow yourself 6-8 weeks to prepare physically for the journey.

Strength Training exercises that benefit  Trekking

Trekking is an activity that demands a good level of strength.

Trekking is a demanding activity that requires good cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and overall fitness. To help you prepare for your trek, incorporating bodyweight exercises into your training routine can be an effective way to build strength, improve stability, and enhance endurance, all of which are crucial for a successful trek. In this regard, here’s a breakdown of body weight exercises categorized by the specific body parts they target and the benefits they offer during trekking.

1. Lower Body Exercises

Lower body exercises like squats and lunges are great for building lower body strength, essential for trekking.

Squats are an excellent exercise for building lower body strength, essential for trekking. They target the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves. Solid quadriceps and glutes provide power for ascending and tackling uphill climbs, while vital hamstrings aid stability during descents. This is particularly helpful in navigating uneven terrain during trekking. 

How to perform Squats Exercises:

• Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward.
• Lower your body by bending your knees and hips, keeping your back straight.
• Lower until your thighs are parallel to the ground or as low as comfortable.
• Push through your heels to return to the starting position.

Lunges target the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves. They improve lower body strength, balance, and stability, crucial for maintaining control on rocky trails and steep slopes. Additionally, they enhance flexibility, reducing the risk of injury while trekking. 

How to Perform  Lunge Exercises:

• Stand with feet hip-width apart, hands on hips or sides.
• Take a step forward with one foot, lowering your body until both knees are bent at 90-degree angles.
• Push through the heel of your front foot to return to the starting position.
• Repeat on the other side, alternating legs.

2. Upper Body Exercises

Upper body exercises such as push-ups and pull-ups effectively strengthen the upper body, especially the chest and shoulders, which are essential for carrying a backpack during treks.

a. Push-Ups

Targets: Chest, shoulders, triceps, and core.

Benefits for Trekking:  Push-ups are an effective exercise to strengthen the upper body, especially the chest and shoulders, essential for carrying a backpack during treks. Improved upper body strength will also help maintain posture and stability while traversing challenging terrain.

How to Perform Push-Ups Exercises:

• Start in a plank position with hands shoulder-width apart and body in a straight line from head to heels.
• Lower your body by bending your elbows until your chest nearly touches the ground.
• Push through your palms to return to the starting position.
• Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.

b. Pull-Ups/Bodyweight Rows:

Targeting the back, biceps, and shoulders can significantly benefit trekking. You can strengthen these muscle groups by performing pull-ups or bodyweight rows and improve your posture and balance while carrying a backpack. Additionally, more muscular back muscles can help reduce the risk of back strain and fatigue during long treks, making your journey safer and more comfortable.

3. Core Exercises

Core exercises like planks and Russian twists can help strengthen the core muscles, which are crucial for maintaining stability and balance while trekking on uneven terrain. 

Targets: Abdominals, obliques, and lower back.

Benefits for Trekking:  Planks are an effective exercise that helps strengthen the core muscles. These muscles are crucial for maintaining stability and balance while trekking on uneven terrain. A strong core also helps improve posture, reducing the risk of back pain and fatigue during extended hikes.

How to Perform Planks Exercises:

• Start in a plank position with elbows directly under shoulders and body in a straight line from head to heels.
• Engage your core and hold the position, avoiding sagging or arching the back.
• Keep breathing steadily and hold for the desired duration.

b. Russian Twists

Targets:  Obliques, abdominals, and lower back.

Benefits for Trekking:  Russian twists engage the core muscles, particularly the obliques, improving rotational stability and balance. Enhanced core strength helps prevent injuries and improves overall performance during trekking.

How to Perform Russian Twist Exercises:

• Sit on the ground with knees bent and feet flat, leaning back slightly to engage the core.
• Clasp hands together and twist the torso to one side, bringing the hands towards the ground beside the hip.
• Return to the centre, then twist to the other side.
• Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.

4. Full Body/Cardiovascular Exercises

Full-body/cardiovascular exercises like burpees and mountain climbers are excellent for improving cardiovascular endurance, strength, and agility. 

Burpees are an excellent full-body exercise that targets your legs, chest, arms, and core. This exercise dramatically benefits trekking enthusiasts, improving cardiovascular endurance, strength, and agility. Regularly incorporating burpees into your workout routine can enhance your overall fitness level, which can help you endure long hikes and rugged terrains with ease.

How to Perform Burpees Exercises:

• Start in a standing position.
• Squat down and place hands on the ground.
• Jump feet back into a plank position.
• Perform a push-up.
• Jump feet back to the squat position.
• Explosively jump up into the air, reaching overhead.
• Land softly and repeat the sequence.

b. Mountain Climbers

Mountain climbers target the core, shoulders, chest, and legs. This dynamic, full-body exercise can significantly improve cardiovascular endurance and agility. It is an excellent functional workout for trekking preparation as it engages both the upper and lower body muscles while strengthening the core muscles.

How to Perform Mountain Climbers Exercises:

• Drive one knee towards the chest, then quickly switch legs, alternating in a running motion.
• Keep the core engaged and the hips stable throughout the movement.
• Continue at a moderate to fast pace for the desired duration.

Incorporating bodyweight exercises into your training routine can help you build strength and endurance and prepare your body for the physical demands of trekking. Consistency and proper form are crucial to maximizing the benefits of these exercises and ensuring a safe and enjoyable trekking experience. Engaging your core muscles, including obliques, abdominals, and lower back, with Russian twists can improve your rotational stability and balance, preventing injuries and enhancing overall performance during trekking.

When incorporating strength training exercises into your workout routine, it’s essential to maintain proper form and technique to avoid injury. Start with lighter weights and gradually increase the intensity as you progress, focusing on compound exercises targeting multiple muscle groups simultaneously. Some examples of practical strength training exercises for trekking include squats, lunges, deadlifts, and pull-ups.

Remember to give your muscles time to recover between workouts, and remember to stretch before and after your workouts to prevent injury and improve flexibility. Combining strength training with jogging and proper stretching allows you to take your fitness to the next level and confidently tackle even the most challenging treks.

Reach mini-market, enter the welcome gate and start trekking on the cemented trail.

Little ahead is a small temple of Nag Devta. Now, after 5 minutes of the hike, the trail changes to a rocky one full of loose rocks. As you go higher the Pantwari village and the farmlands are visible below.

The connecting Nag Tibba ridge lies in front. Climb the hill and reach a water point, the water here is safe to drink. Continue trekking and great views which the trail offers are a feast for the eyes. Now, enter the “Pravesh Dwar”; “Welcome Gate” of Nag Tibba and start ascending through the forest section.

Rhododendrons (Burans) are found in abundance here and its squash is very famous because it is very helpful in treating blood pressure. The zig-zag trail is steep with many loose rocks.

There are many other short cuts that look alike and lead to the same place but do not go for these shortcuts and leave the group because there is a chance to get lost in the woods.

Go through the densely forested area, in winter trekking here gets tough because the heavy snow makes the trail hard to identify. Between your gradual walk cross some steep ascents and in 1 hour you can reach the Nag Tibba Base Camp.

It is a wide clearing and a temple is located there dedicated to Serpent God “Nag Devta”. It is worshipped by the local villagers for protection of their cattle and a “Bhagwat” is held here in which “Chief Minister is invited and almost 10,000 people attend it every year.

Now, the climb to Nag Tibba top is 1.5 km from Base Camp which is very steep through the thick forest cover. The snow makes the climb challenging in winters.

Get tremendous views of high Himalayan ranges i.e. Swargarohini, Bandar pooch, Srikanta, Kala Naag, Gangotri and snow peaks of Changabang.

“I was a solo trekker so I joined fixed departure on 10 December 2018. The whole group was so friendly that I forgot I did not know them from before it was all because of the leader and team. When I checked in hotel Mr kuldeep Singh ji introduced the hotel staff, kitchen staff and the people who were going along with us on the trek. We all got familiar and we all were very comfortable with each other. The same schedule was being followed as we were told and everything went very smooth. Since then I have trekked with them many times and planning more” –

priyanka agrawal – November 26, 2019

Team Himalayan Hikers is exceptional. The Nag Tibba trip was surreal for us as we were there during peak snowfall. Though the trek during this time was definitely not easy and was quite challenging, the guides provided us with support wherever needed. I am so happy I took this trek and experienced something life changing

Winter in Nag Tibba comes with an abundance of snow, creating a mystical charm in the scenery.

The snowy landscapes, dense forests, and beautiful vistas provide excellent opportunities for photography. Capture the stunning winter scenes and create lasting memories.

Dehradun to Pantwari village and trek to Camp 1

• Altitude (Pantwari village):  1,400m/ 4,650 ft,   
• Altitude(Camp 1):  2,330 m/ 7,650 ft.
• Drive Distance(Dehradun - Pantwari village):  85 Km | 5-6hrs.
• Trek Distance(Pantwari to Camp1):  4 Km | 3 hours.
• Via Mussoorie, Kampty Fall.
• Pickup at 6:00 am, reach Pantwari village by noon.
• Transportation Amount is not included in the trek cost.
• Last ATM at Mussoorie.
• Lunch at Pantwari village.
• Start the trek by 2:30 pm, and reach the campsite by 5:30 pm.
• The Whole trek has a phone network but it is erratic.
• 2 – 3 water points on the way.
• Stay in a tent.

We will pick you up from  Prince Chowk,  Dehradun  around 6 in the morning, starting on a 5-6 hour uphill drive to village Pantwari at 4,650 ft. The road passes through a Mussoorie queen of hills, to Kempty Falls, and with the Yamuna river trailing our side onto Nainbagh from where we turn on the Nag TIbba road, reaching Pantwari at around noon. We will be stopping for a light breakfast on the way. Also, Mussoorie is the last stop where an ATM is available.

At Pantwari, we will have a filling lunch and after some rest, head off for the trek. The hike begins at the end of a motorable road till which we will be reached by car. Beginning on a well-defined cemented path, we will find our way to a rocky trail. You will find 2-3 water points on this way, the first of which comes after 15 minutes in the trek- a reservoir of stream water. Fill your bottles from here and move ahead.

30 minutes into the trek, you will come across a cluster of thatched roofed huts- a small village on cliffs, lined with terrace farmlands. During the harvest seasons, you will find these stretches in a wave of different shades of green and yellow. The locality of Pantwari can be seen lying down far below. Before reaching the ridge connecting the Pantwari side of the hills with Nag Tibba, you will come across ‘Goat Village’—an interesting eco-tourism resort.

After a while, the rocky mountain trail enters a thicket of oak and rhododendron and the ascent curve almost levels out. The next landmark on the trek is an isolated hut by a stretch of farmland, from where our campsite will be another 5-minute walk. The campsite is a small clearing with the forests for a background and the rolling abyss out front. To find clouds like smoke rising from beneath in the gulf just in front of the campsite ledge is a mesmeric experience.

Camp 1 to Nag Tibba top and return to Pantwari Village and drive to Dehradun

Day 2 needs to start very early as it’s a long day ahead. After catching a quick breakfast, finishing by 5:00 am, we start on the hike to the top. A trail on the right of the campsite continues through a thick forest cover. With snow enveloping the path in the winters, it becomes a little challenging to locate the trail which is otherwise well defined. Within 20-30 minutes from the camp on the forest trail, you will reach two open patches of land, clearings by the forest fringes. From this point on, the trek is almost a level walk on very gentle undulations.

The Nag Tibba temple marking the base of the Nag Tibba hill is situated on the third clearing that we find on this trail. From here, on a clear sky day, the Garhwal Himalaya peaks meet the eye.

The trek continues from here into the forest on a steep incline, likely to be submerged in snow in the winter. This part of the trek really raises the bar for challenge and makes for a swashbuckling summit experience. Close to the top, the trail will turn through a ridge and finally take you to the flag marking Nag Tabbi jhandi, or summit. One possible route of descending from here is a trail passing through Devalsari village, visible on the reverse side of the mountain.

The view from the summit brings us face to face with the Garhwal Himalaya’s most amazing. The canvas of the sky lights up with ice capped ranges of Bandarpoonch, Gangotri, Kedarnath, Kala Nag, and more.

If the trek runs according to schedule, you can spend some time on the top, then make the way down by the same trail. Lunch will be at the camp. Panthwari will be reached by sundown and a 5-6 hour drive from there will take you to Dehradun from where you can arrange an overnight journey.

In the unlikely event that TTH cancels a trek prior to the scheduled departure date:

While it is extremely rare for TTH to cancel a trek, we understand that unforeseen circumstances or natural disasters may occasionally require us to do so before the scheduled departure. These circumstances could include continuous rain or snow, thunderstorms, snowstorms, landslides, floods, earthquakes, or any other natural calamity that poses a risk to the safety of our trekkers. Additionally, unforeseeable events such as local riots, curfews, pandemics, lockdowns, government orders, or any similar situations that compromise the safety of the trekking experience may also necessitate a cancellation.

The issuance of a voucher is not applicable in situations where you are required to descend from the trek for any reason. The trek leader may make the decision to send you down from the trek due to factors such as insufficient fitness level, symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), high blood pressure, exceeding the designated turn-around-time, health concerns, or if you are found smoking, drinking, or violating the rules set for the trek. In such cases, the provision of a voucher does not apply.

In the rare event that TTH shifts a trek:

We would like to emphasize that weather conditions in high-altitude areas are highly unpredictable and can undergo sudden changes at any time, irrespective of the day. Additionally, circumstances beyond our control, such as natural disasters, political unrest, pandemics, and lockdowns, may impact the feasibility of conducting a trek. In cases where we are unable to proceed with an event due to such circumstances that are beyond our direct control, we will make every effort to provide you with an alternative trek that is safer and more suitable.

In such situations, we will issue a voucher to offset the cost difference between the originally scheduled trek and the alternative trek. This voucher can be redeemed at any time within one year from the date of issue. Please note that a refund fee or reimbursement of the cost difference is not applicable in these cases.

How to prepare a child for a high altitude trek?

Physical Fitness: Ensure your child is physically fit. Engage them in regular exercise, outdoor activities, and hikes to build stamina and endurance. Hydration: Emphasize the importance of staying hydrated at high altitudes. Encourage your child to drink water regularly, even if they don't feel thirsty. Proper Nutrition: Provide a well-balanced diet with sufficient carbohydrates for energy and foods rich in iron to prevent altitude sickness. Adequate Sleep: Ensure your child gets enough sleep in the days leading up to the trek. Quality rest is crucial for altitude adaptation. Educate on Altitude Sickness: Teach your child about the symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headache, nausea, and dizziness. Encourage them to communicate any discomfort immediately. Appropriate Clothing and Gear: Dress your child in layers to adjust to changing temperatures. Ensure they have appropriate trekking gear, including sturdy footwear. Positive Mindset: Foster a positive mindset. Encourage your child, and let them know it's okay to take breaks when needed. Medical Check-Up: Schedule a medical check-up before the trek to ensure your child is fit for high-altitude activities. Consult with a healthcare professional about any potential health concerns.

Kind of food will be served during the trek for children.

TTH takes special care to provide wholesome and nutritious food for children on treks. Here are some of the foods that are typically served for children: Breakfast: For breakfast, TTH serves a variety of options like porridge, cornflakes, bread, butter, jam, honey, boiled eggs, omelettes, and pancakes. Children can choose from these options to fuel themselves for the day's trek. Lunch: For lunch, TTH serves lunch which includes rotis, vegetables, rice, dal, and salad.

How to choose the right trek?

Choosing the right trek for a beginner can be a bit overwhelming as there are many factors to consider such as distance, elevation gain, terrain difficulty, weather, and time of year. Here are some tips that can help you choose the right trek for a beginner:

1. Determine fitness level:  Assess the fitness level of the beginner to understand their physical capabilities. This will help you select a trek that is challenging but not too difficult.

2. Choose a well-traveled trail:  A well-traveled trail will have more amenities such as signposts, water stations, and shelter. It is also safer as there will be other hikers on the trail.

3. Consider the length of the trek:  For beginners, it is recommended to start with a shorter trek that can be completed in a day or two. This will help them get acclimatized to trekking and build their confidence.

4. Look for gradual elevation gain:  Choose a trek with a gradual elevation gain rather than steep ascents. This will make the trek easier and more enjoyable.

5. Check the weather:  Check the weather forecast before selecting a trek. Avoid treks during the monsoon season or winter when the trails can be slippery or dangerous.

6. Research the trail:  Read about the trail to get an idea of the terrain, altitude, and difficulty level. This will help you select a trek that is suitable for the beginner.

7. Consult with an expert:  If you are unsure about which trek to choose, consult our trek expert Mr. Nitin (+91 70600 59773) between 10 AM to 6 PM (Tuesday - Friday). Mr. Nitin will provide you valuable advice and guidance.

Overall, it is important to choose a trek that is enjoyable, challenging but not too difficult, and suitable for the beginner's fitness level and experience.

Can a beginner choose a tough trek?

It is not recommended for a beginner to choose a difficult Himalayan trek. Trekking in the Himalayas can be physically and mentally challenging, especially if you are not used to the high altitude, steep slopes, and rugged terrain. Choosing a difficult trek without the proper experience, fitness level, and preparation can be dangerous and put you at risk of altitude sickness, injury, and other hazards.

If you are a beginner, it is recommended to start with an easier trek and gradually build up your skills and experience. This will help you understand the challenges of trekking in the Himalayas, and also prepare you physically and mentally for a more difficult trek in the future. It is also important to choose a trek that matches your fitness level, experience, and interest.

What is the age limit for a beginner trekker?

There is no specific age limit for a beginner trekker. However, it is important to consider your physical fitness, health condition, and personal interests before embarking on a trek. Trekking in the Himalayas can be physically and mentally demanding, and requires a certain level of physical fitness and endurance.

If you have any pre-existing medical conditions or are above a certain age, it is recommended to consult with a doctor before embarking on a trek. It is also important to listen to your body and take breaks as needed during the trek to prevent exhaustion or injury.

If I am solo, can I join the trek in a group?

Yes, you can join the trek. We have fixed departure groups where you can simply book your trek and we will take care of curating a group.

How does my family get updated about my Trek?

Before you start the trek, it is recommended that you make all the necessary phone calls as during the trek you may or may not receive network coverage, once you come back to the Base Camp, you can reconnect with your family via phone once again. You can share your trek coordinator contact detail with your family members to get the latest updates about your trek batch.

What food can I expect?

At TTH, we provide wholesome and nutritious meals during the trek. The food is vegetarian and includes a variety of dishes such as rice, dal, vegetables, chapati, paratha, pasta, noodles, and soup. We also offer snacks such as biscuits, and salty, and dry fruits during the trek. Special dietary requirements such as vegan, gluten-free, or Jain food can also be arranged if informed in advance.

Based on how warm you feel you can skip any of the above layers. Your outer later should be windproof since it is windy at high altitude.

  Frequently Asked Questions

  Why should i go for nag tibba trek.

  Are there more compelling reasons than the ability to summit the top of the highest mountain in the Lesser Himalayas- the Nag Tibba in the Garhwal Mountains range, over the course of a weekend? Yes, it is a relatively easy trek and meant for beginners who want to enjoy the thrill of a mountain summit with spectacular views of the snow-capped peaks, rich valleys, and the sprawling, green meadows (Bugyals) and cherish this experience for a lifetime. Many amateur trekking enthusiasts embark on the Nag Tibba Trek from Delhi, and they return with some of the most remarkable memories and exciting stories worth sharing!

  What are the important considerations for Nag Tibba Trek?

  The Nag Tibba Trek best time is around the year, except the monsoons. The weather remains pleasant throughout the year. The daytime temperatures range between 16 to 25 degrees celsius, and the night-time temperature stays within 8 to 16 degrees Celsius across a significant part of the year. Hence, embarking on the Nag Tibba Trek will not intimate you to extreme and freezing climatic conditions. However, the peak trekking season between September till December (post-monsoon/autumn) encounters daytime temperatures between 14 and 22 degrees celsius. The nights are a bit nippy, with temperatures dropping down to 6 to 14 degrees celsius. Although this time of the year is dominated by clear blue skies offering you panoramic mountain views and natural beauty, the altitude might cause the weather to change drastically. You will experience snow during the winter months, and they start receding by April. The trail type is round, with the 15-kilometer trekking distance taking you to a maximum elevation of 3022 meters at the top of the Nag Tibba. While you are on the trail, you need to stay in campsites comprising dome tents. Traveling with a reputed tour guide or operator will ensure that your Nag Tibba Trek cost is inclusive of the accommodation and meals. Amongst the list of essentials that you need to carry on the Nag Tibba Trek, a pair of sturdy, well-made hiking shoes are the most important. A 20 to 30-liter backpack is enough for the Nag Tibba trekking experience. Apart from these, you need to carry a couple of full-sleeved shirts to prevent your arms and neck from getting sunburnt by the UV rays in the rarified air. Since the maximum altitude is 3022 meters, it might get really cold, and thus you should carry three insulation layers- 2 light fleece layers and 1 light, full-sleeve sweater. A regular padded/shell jacket on the outside keeps the wind out. A pair of quality hiking pants made from the same quick-dry, waterproof material as your full-sleeved shirts will serve the purpose. Apart from these, other essentials include a pair of sunglasses for UV protection, suncap, woolen cap or balaclava, synthetic hand gloves, a few pairs of underwear, and a sports bra (for women). Always carry extra pairs of socks and rainwear like ponchos or raincoats because you never know when the weather turns murky. Rain cover for your backpack is essential, and you should also carry a daypack if you consider offloading. Though the Nag Tibba Trek is rated easy to moderate, there are steep ascents and descents at specific points. Hence, carrying a pair of well-made trekking poles is essential. Apart from these, basic toiletries consisting of biodegradable soaps, excess toilet paper rolls, moisturizers, lip salves, etc., along with medicines and first-aid kits, should be taken. It would be best to carry water bottles and hydration packs to avoid polluting the Himalayas with plastic. Try carrying your own luggage; thus, you need to keep them lightweight and yet pack for all eventualities. Do not litter. The trek is easy to moderate in difficulty and ideal for beginners. Therefore, you can just increase your cardiovascular endurance with swimming, jogging, and light running sessions along with custom indoor fitness routines.

  Who do I contact in case of any emergency?

  If you face any emergency during any adventures in Uttarakhand and the northern parts of the country, you should contact the following: - Uttarakhand Glacier burst helpline- 1070/9557444486 - Police: 112 - Ambulance: 108/102 - Fire: 101 - Child helpline: 1098 - Women helpline: 1090 - NDMA (Disaster management): 1070/1078/9711077372 - Anti poison helpline- 011-1066 (Delhi)

  From Kahwa to Pashmina shawls, Kashmir has a lot to offer to its tourists. With views as pristine and divine as heaven, Kashmir has perfectly been given the title of 'Paradise on earth.'

  The trekking routes of Uttarakhand are some of the most picturesque ones in India. With the infrastructural developments headed by the tourism department and industries here, these treks have become even more accessible to adventurers. The trekking routes have opened up to all sorts of visitors - trekkers, pilgrims, and amateur trekking enthusiasts.

  The Nag Tibba trek is one of these alluring treks of Uttarakhand. In fact, it is the highest peak in the Lower Himalayas region of Uttarakhand, so scaling the peak is quite an achievement. It is complete with mountainous streams, rhododendron and oak forests, snow-capped mountain peaks, and large meadows to soothe the eyes and enrich the soul of the beholders.

  A summit trek:

  The trek to Nag Tibba is a summit trek. The trekkers reach 3022 meters, the highest altitude of the peak. It is best done in winter if the trekker is interested in trekking along the snow-carpeted slopes. The trail is slightly offbeat, so it is ideal for trekkers looking for short treks on peaceful routes.

  Beautiful sunrises and sunsets:

  One can watch the spectacular sunset behind the mountain ranges as they trek up to the base camp on the trek's first day. If trekkers start early the following day from the basecamp, they will be able to reach the summit and catch a glimpse of breathtaking sunrise against the various Himalayan ranges.

  View of the numerous mountain ranges:

  The summit presents the trekkers with a panoramic view of the mountain ranges surrounding the region. The ecstatic views of Swargarohini and Gangotri ranges and the Bandarpoonch, Kala Nag, Kedarnath, and Srikanta peaks are the trek's highlights. They look like somber statues with snow-capped peaks in winter, but their snow tops sparkle in the sunlight in summer, making for some of the best photographs ever.

  Impressive forests and meadows:

  The trekking trail weaves in and out of the mountain forest with rich biodiversity. Rhododendrons and oaks commonly populate these forests with a few wildflowers in the monsoons. In winter, all the treetops are thick and heavy with snow.

  One comes across large clearings while traversing through the Nag Tibba trail. In summer and monsoon, they appear lush green - a beautiful sanctuary of greenery cradled in the lap of the mountains. Come winter, they get covered by thick powdery snow, appearing to be a scene straight out of a winter wonderland.

  The temple of reverence:

  The Nag Tibba temple is dedicated to the serpent god. It is located at the base camp. After a long day of trekking, the trekkers pay their respects here before retiring to their camps for the night.

  Overview of the Nag Tibba Trek:

  Location and basic information:

  The Nag Tibba trek distance is around 15 km, and it lies in the Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand in India. The trek takes only one weekend to complete. It takes one to the highest point of 3022 meters, from which they get to see the many majestic peaks all around. All trekking enthusiasts can scale this peak.

  The Nag Tibba trek cost is around USD 19 to 23 (INR 1400 to 1700). These estimates may not include the hiring charges of an experienced local guide. The price depends upon the trekking package one chooses with their trekking agent.

  Cell Phone Connectivity:

  Cell phone connectivity and internet network will not work on this trek. Proper connectivity is found at Dehradun, and a weak signal may be found near the starting point of the trek.

  How difficult is the Nag Tibba Trek?

  The Nag Tibba trek package has been classified as an easy to moderate level trek. According to expert trekkers and mountaineers, the summit trek can be covered by anyone - including beginners and children. The trail has a steep gradient in some places, but the ascent is quite gentle for the most part.

  There always remains a chance of getting altitude sickness and AMS in the mountains. It can be avoided if the trekker stays hydrated throughout the day.

  Best time to visit the Nag Tibba Trek:

  The best time for Nag Tibba trek is during summer and winter. The clear sparkling surroundings in summer are in stark contrast to the white beauty of winter. But the way each of these seasons holds something attractive for the visitors stays constant throughout the year.

  Summer in the mountains is the most pleasant season for trekkers who originate from the plains. To accompany the clear sky with the heat of the sun, a cool breeze always blows to make the experience quite comfortable. The season lasts from April to June. If one is visiting around early April, it is recommended to carry light woolens for a possibly colder night.

  In Monsoon:

  The monsoon showers bring a lush green shade to this region. There is nothing like gazing at the soaring peaks with the pitter-patter of raindrops all around. Although the scenic beauty is excellent, the mountains are prone to accidental landslides in the rainy season. These cause unnecessary trouble for the trekkers as roadblocks resulting from landslides are common in this region.

  The cold months of October, November, and December are the best time for Nag Tibba trek. The trekking trails are much less crowded now than in other seasons. Trekkers cherish the solitude of the peaceful melancholy of the winters. Snowfall occurs on the trail during the winters, and the scenery soon gets covered in white wherever one turns to see. It reaches sub-zero temperatures in winters here, so it is necessary to carry warm woolens.

  Gear guide and checklist for the Nag Tibba Trek:

  Any trekking packaging guide will emphasize packing light with all essentials. With that pivotal point in mind, let's find what one's trekking kit should positively contain.

  Apparels, footwear, accessories:

  Polyester shirts are light and quick to dry. 2-3 full-sleeved polyester t-shirts can be layered as required during the day treks. For bottom wear, a similar layering technique needs to be followed - 2-3 pairs of sweatpants, track pants, or joggers should be carried. To maintain an optimal body temperature, a thermal innerwear set will be required. This may not be worn during the day treks in summer, but the extra warmth can provide comfort at night since cold winds are prevalent.

  Cardigans or fleece sweaters can be layered with padded, down jackets with a hood. It will be ideal for trekking in autumn and winter. The trekker runs the risk of losing heat from the head, especially in the colder Nag Tibba weather. To prevent this, they must carry a woolen cap or balaclava to wear under the hood of the padded jacket. Woolen gloves, woolen socks, and quick-dry synthetic sports socks can be layered as and when needed to keep the body warm.

  If the trekker is traveling in the rainy season, they should carry an umbrella, a light poncho, and a raincoat. Other necessary accessories one should bring to a trek include:

  • UV-protection sunglasses.
  • Sunscreen lotion.
  • Battery-powered torches.
  • Phone and camera battery charger.
  • A pair of sturdy trekking poles.

  In winter and monsoon, the wet, snow, or moss-covered trekking trail is very slippery to trek along. Trekking boots with proper ankle support and microspikes will help with the feet' grip. While buying a new pair, a trekker must ensure that they are waterproof, sturdy, and broken in a few weeks before the commencement of the trek.

  Gaiters are beneficial footwear accessories. They will help the footwear gather as minimum dust as possible. Gaiters will also prevent random debris from getting collected inside the shoe and hurting the trekker's foot.

  The campsite at such a high elevation can become chilling cold. A thick, good-quality sleeping bag will help the trekker keep warm at night on this trek.

  Backpacks and waterproof covers:

  A backpack of 45 liters capacity should be enough for a weekend trek to Nag Tibba. While this will contain all the supplies and clothes, essentials like electronics should be placed in a smaller fanny pack for easy access. Trekkers carrying a camera, various batteries, and mobile phones can benefit from this.

  Trekkers can offload the extra luggage in Pantwari.

  Any mountain trek packing should have sufficient waterproofing measures. Waterproof covers for the backpack and water-resistant bags will help the trekkers protect their electronics, camera, other equipment, wallets, and essential documents from any damage.

  Toiletries and hygiene products:

  Carrying a personal toiletry set to maintain hygiene on mountain treks is essential. It should contain a toothbrush, toothpaste, biodegradable soap, moisturizer, lip balm, hand sanitizer, and deodorant for personal use. If the trekkers want to clean up quickly, toilet paper, rolls of tissue paper, and wet wipes will help.

  For female trekkers, menstrual hygiene is always a matter of concern. They should carry enough sanitary napkins, tampons, or menstrual cups for maximum comfort.

  Medical kit with first-aid:

  Some of the most common ailments one might experience on a trip are fever, common cold, allergy, and stomach upsets. A trekker should keep paracetamols, anti-nausea medicines, antihistamines, antacids, and painkillers at hand to treat these quickly. This will prevent the condition from worsening any further.

  Carrying a simple first-aid kit should be enough for treating any minor injuries or sprains. It should contain a pain-relieving spray, bandaids, gauze swabs, antiseptic liquid, ointment, crepe bandages, and insect repellent cream. The drinking water is often sourced from streams and natural reservoirs on treks. To ensure the safety of this water, one should also carry water-purifying tablets.

  Important documents:

  One should carry their identity proof and at least two photocopies of it for all the registration purposes at any check posts. The identity proof should also contain the address of the trekker. Two passport-sized photographs should also be carried in case of any urgent needs. Visas and passports should be kept safe by foreigners.

  

  Nag Tibba Trek itinerary:

  The Nag Tibba trek itinerary can be covered in a weekend. The starting point of the trek can be reached from the many different arrival spots for tourists and trekkers. The Jolly Grant airport of Dehradun is well-connected to the major Indian cities through the Delhi airport.

  The Dehradun railway station also has regular trains once again from Delhi. Dehradun can also be reached from Delhi by overnight Volvo buses.

  • Day 1: The starting point of the trek is at Pantwari. On the first day, the trekkers arrive at Dehradun and take a cab via Mussoorie and Nainbagh. During this 85 km drive that takes around 4 hours, the cab stops at the Kempty Falls for refreshments and the scenic beauty of the waterfall. One also crosses the famous Yamuna Bridge on their way. The Pantwari village is located at the height of 1415 meters. From here starts the trek towards the base camp. This 6 km trek takes around 6-7 hours to complete. This part of the trail has a gradual ascent. On the way, the trekkers will come across the Nag Devta temple, a shrine dedicated to the serpent god. This is where the shepherds sought blessings. Since ancient times, the shepherds have used the rugged trail to find meadows where their cattle could graze. The trekking trail passes a motorable road here now and then. After these crossings, the trekkers can refill their water supplies from the mountainous stream, water from which is collected into a reservoir. The trekkers are soon led inside the forested areas by the trail, yet it can be fully recognized from the clear markings. There is barely any chance of getting lost here unless the trail markings have been swept under the snow because of the cold Nag Tibba weather in peak winter. The base camp lies at an altitude of 2600 meters amidst a large clearing. The Nag Tibba temple is one of the major landmarks here. The sunset against the lofty peaks of the Garhwal Himalayas is a delight to watch as the trekkers reach their camping destination for the night. This is undoubtedly a photograph-worthy spot.
  • Day 2: One should wake up early to get that perfect shot of the sunrise at the Nag Tibba summit. It takes an hour or so to get to the summit from the base camp, so starting early is essential. The trail once again leads the trekkers into the forest. The shady forested region is frigid. Beyond the forest cover lies a steeply ascending trail leading to the trek's highest point at 3022 meters. This is the Nag Tibba summit or the 'Jhandi,' and a flag marks it. From here, one can see the various peaks of the Himalayan ranges in the distance. The 360-degree panoramic view is exceptionally breathtaking as the trekkers are surrounded by clouds passing through at such a height. The Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, Gangotri, Kala Nag, Kedarnath, and Srikanta ranges and peaks stand at the left side of the summit point. The trekkers explore the region here, capture the beautiful surroundings and soon begin to descend to the Khatian village camp for lunch. Around late afternoon they reach the village starting point. Cabs are readily available here to take the trekkers back to Dehradun from where they can leave for their hometowns or embark on their next adventure.

  • Importance: Acclimatization helps stabilize oxygen levels in the body. It is crucial for preventing altitude sickness and maintaining physical fitness.
  • Spend an extra day at the Pantwari base camp or intermediate points such as Dehradun or Mussoorie to adjust to the altitude. However, the chances of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) or other sicknesses during the Nag Tibba Trek are minimal. Nevertheless, proper acclimatization will enhance your trekking experience compared to trekking without adjusting to the change in altitude.
  • Ascend gradually, avoid ascending too quickly.
  • Climb high and sleep low. After reaching the campsite, hike to a higher elevation than the campsite's altitude, spend some time there, and then return to the campsite.
  • Reduce strength exercises and increase yoga practice with Pranayama or other slow breathing techniques.

  2. Weather Preparedness:

  • Importance: The weather during the Nag Tibba Trek can be unpredictable, with sudden rainfall and variation in temperature. Knowing weather facts helps trekkers determine the best time to start or not start their trek, and be prepared for any expected weather fluctuations during the hiking.
  • Check weather forecasts regularly.
  • Be prepared for sudden changes by carrying appropriate gear, such as waterproof jackets or a poncho, warm fleece, and extra pairs of quick-dry socks.
  • In the mountains, afternoon rain is more common than other times of the day. So, make sure to start and end your hike before noon.
  • If it’s raining continuously, pause on the hike on the spot but avoid stopping near water streams and narrow valleys. Try to pass away these areas as quickly as possible.

  3. Hydration and Nutrition:

  • Importance: Staying hydrated and well-nourished helps maintain energy and health.
  • Drink plenty of water at regular intervals throughout the trek.
  • Carry high-energy, easy-to-digest foods like nuts, energy bars, and fruits.
  • Avoid taking alcohol.
  • Avoid consuming sugary foods or drinks during the trek. Excess sugar increases blood glucose concentration, leading to fatigue.

  4. Health and First Aid:

  • Importance: Immediate response to health issues can prevent serious complications.
  • Carry a comprehensive first aid kit, including altitude sickness medication, and be familiar with basic first aid procedures.
  • Inform your trek leader of any pre-existing health conditions.

  • The nearest hospital is located in Mussoorie, which is nearly 60 km from the Pantwari base camp.
  • Keep emergency contact numbers.
  • Ensure that your trek leader has communication devices such as a satellite phone or walkie-talkie in case of an emergency. Also, whenever you get a mobile network, keep updated the basecamp or your emergency contact person.
  • Make sure you have appropriate adventure insurance that covers trekking in high-altitude areas.

  7. Navigation and Trail Safety:

  • Importance: Navigating high altitudes and challenging trails requires caution and skill.
  • Follow your guide.
  • Follow marked trails and use a compass, maps, or GPS devices to avoid getting lost on the trail.

  • Maintain regular communication with your group.
  • Follow the trek leader’s instructions and avoid separating from the group.

  10. Environmental Responsibility:

  • Importance: Protecting the natural environment is essential.
  • Follow "Leave No Trace" principles.
  • Dispose of waste properly and avoid disturbing wildlife or vegetation.

  11. Altitude Sickness Awareness:

  • Symptoms: Headache, nausea, dizziness, and shortness of breath.
  • If symptoms occur, inform your trek leader immediately.
  • Descend to a lower altitude if necessary and seek medical help if symptoms persist.
  • On the Nag Tibba Trek, there are less chances of altitude related sicknessess. Also, you ascent gradually each day of hiking which helps you to be fully acclimitazation.

  Nag Tibba Trek - A Complete Travel Guide

  It's certainly said that - 

  The best view comes after the most strenuous climb.

  Mountains are the beginning and the end of the natural panorama.

  One of the best destinations to escape from the reality of life is the mountains. To experience such a holiday, we are here to plan your next sought trip to the famous Nag Tibba trek in Uttarakhand. Considering an ideal destination for a mountain trek, Nag Tibba is the most famous and most visited trek.

  About Nag Tibba

  Nag Tibba is located in the state of Uttarakhand at an altitude of 3022 meters, making it one of the highest peaks in the lower Himalayan range. Located very near to the Hill Station, Mussoorie, the Nag Tibba trek is very prominent and the most alluring trek among visitors and nature lovers especially those who love adventures. 

  The name Nag Tibba is assured by the local Garhwali articulation, Nagg means snake and Tibba means peak or hill.  According to an old mythological tale, Nag Tibba hill is actually the residence of ' Naag Devta '. The trek is also called by the name  Serpent's Trek . The villagers believe this a holy place and come to prey here. 

  The Nag Tibba trek is one of the most famous treks in Uttarakhand, not only for the scenic beauty but also for the famous Shiva Temple at the top of Nag Tibba hill. If you are visiting in the winter, you can clearly witness the incredible and unbelievably beautiful snow-covered hills of Kedarnath, Bandarpoonch, Kala Naag, and many more.

  My journey to this trek was fascinating and definitely a rememberable one. 

  It was a sudden idea while deciding with friends what are we doing for the New Year celebration. It clicked out of nowhere to celebrate this new year not with loud music and partying but in peace and serenity with close friends. We planned to celebrate the New Year at the top of a mountain hill. Yes, we started our journey in the month of Dec on the 29th night and reached the top of Nag Tibba mountain hill exactly on new year's eve to celebrate New Year with a bonfire along with friends.

  I must say this was one of the best New year celebrations we had!

  What is the best time to visit Nag Tibba?

  The best time to visit Nag Tibba and enjoy this trekking is the winter season i.e. from October to March as the routes are covered in snow, forming an incredible and beautiful panorama. Though the temperature goes very down and the night would be freezy. You have to be cautious about clothes and winter wear. Carry enough woolen clothes. But out of all, you will find peace and beauty of nature in the outstanding snow-covered captivating hills which are worth watching. If you are lucky enough, you may experience mesmerizing snowfall during winters.

  The summer season i.e. from April to June  is also a very suitable time to plan a Nag Tibba trekking trip. You will experience breezy and a perfect pleasant climate for trekking. The dense forests will provide you enough shade while trekking. Woolen clothes will not be required if you are traveling in summer.

  The monsoons from July to October are not a very good idea to plan a trekking trip. Although you will get to see heavenly greenery and amazing scenery to view, the monsoon means slippery and muddy track which is not a good idea for trekking. 

  How to reach Nag Tibba?

  The main journey of Nag Tibba starts from Mussoorie . Being the queen of the hill stations, Mussoorie alone has a lot to explore. You can reach Mussoorie and spend a day here before starting your trek to Nag Tibba. You can reach here using the below options of transport:

One can take a roadway route from Delhi to Mussoorie as luxury Volvo buses are easily available from Delhi which take around 5 to 6 hours. You can catch an overnight sleeper bus from Delhi and reach here by morning.

  Since we were traveling via Delhi, we took an overnight luxury sleeper bus from Delhi and reached Mussoorie early in the morning around 6AM.

  Where to stay in Mussoorie and Nag Tibba?

  A day stay at mussoorie:.

  Mussoorie, being a ravishing hill station and the center point of our trek to Nag Tibba, planning a day stay here is not at all a bad idea!

  We reached Mussoorie in the morning via overnight bus from Delhi. We instantly scanned a few hotels near mall road and selected a fine one to freshen up and relax. 

  If you are planning for this trip, you can have a day's stay in Mussoorie or Dehradun for some relaxation before trekking. You can utilize a day to explore the place. There are plenty of options, good hotels, and resorts to stay in. You can do prior booking before reaching to reduce the last moment stress.

  After checking out from Mussoorie hotel the next day morning, Booked a local cab from Mall Road and reached Pantwari Village.

  Day 1 Itinerary:

  Mussoorie tour.

  Mussoorie is the most visited and the most romantic hill station due to its stunning weather and serene beauty. It is a small hill station to explore scenic beauty.

  To start with, we first had a fantastic  breakfast in Mall Road in a very famous cafe called Kalsang . This is a very colorful restaurant serving varieties of cuisines like Chinese, Thai, and many more. After spending enough time here, we decided to visit Kempty waterfall.

  Kempty Waterfall

  Kempty waterfall is the perfect picnic spot to enjoy with friends and family. The water stream falls from the height of around 40 ft. You will find stairs to reach up to the exact waterfall. The water is very cold and the surrounding is extremely beautiful. You will definitely spend a splendid and lavish time here. 

  Kempty waterfall is around 15 kilometers from the main Mussoorie. You can easily get a cab or taxi or car. It will take a maximum of 1 hour to reach including traffic. Plenty of shops are available to provide swimming clothes, towels, floaters, and locker services to keep your belongings safe.

  We arrived here in the afternoon and spent around 3-4 hours. We came back by evening around 4-5 PM to our hotel.

  Rating: The rating from us would be 8 out of 10.

  Dinner at Mall Road Mussoorie

  After coming back from the Kempty waterfall, we took some rest at our hotel, freshen up, and decided to have a view of nightlife on the Mall Road of Mussoorie.

  Mall road is extremely famous and situated at the center of the city. It has a series of shops of varieties of items like scarfs, hats, video games, bracelets, and many food shops. You will definitely get attracted by the mouth-watering street food stalls there. We tried some as starters and they were delicious.

  For dinner, we reached Little LLama Cafe , a very cozy place with a mind-blowing view and fantastic music. The food was marvelous and the ambiance was just perfect. The overall experience of Mall road was perfect and happening. 

  Rating:  The rating of this from us - is  7 out of 10.

  We finally reached back to our hotel at night and had a great sleep.

  Day 2 Itinerary: 

  The next morning was even more thrilling and exciting for us. We were ready for our rousing trek to Nag Tibba and checked out from the hotel early in the morning around 6-7 AM.

  Road trip from Mussoorie to Pantwari Village

  The journey of the Nag Nibba trek begins with the mesmerizing road trip to Pantwari village as we went through the beautiful sceneries and some of the most delightful countryside views. 

  The mountain roads are long with survey outlines and are just amazing to watch. The views are definitely worth watching for the photographers. It took around 3-4 hours to reach Pantwari village, from where the actual trek begins. 

  After reaching Pantwari village we had breakfast to get ourselves ready for the trek to Nag Tibba Base Camp. We contacted a local trek operator in Pantwari village and they assisted in providing a tent and guide for our trek to Nag Tibba.

  Trek begins from Pantwari to Nag Tibba Base camp

  As we were all set with our tent and guide. We began our journey around 11AM and were so excited to begin the trekking. Typically, this trek is considered the easiest one, even for beginners. 

  A tip for you is that you should definitely hire a trekking guide as he is the one who will take care of trekking, food, and settling up the tent/camp. He will guide you on the complete trek and would tell the stories related to the place. 

  From Pantwari to Basecamp is just 5.5 to 6 kilometers and the landscape of the trail is just marvelous. The trek begins from the cemented path from Pantwari, which moving forward turns into the rocky and uneven ground. 

  As we moved forward in the uphills, the unseen view was opening up giving a beautiful view of the mountains. As we finished 1-1.5 kilometers, we passed through breathtaking views of mountains with dense forests

  After covering 1.5 hours of our hike, We passed through the  Goat Village Resort  which is located in a very beautiful location. If someone wants to experience the luxury resort, you can plan your stay here.  After covering half of the trek the difficulty level increases as the trail become more steep and rocky. Also, there is no place to have water so I would recommend you carry water bottles with you to keep yourself hydrated on the trek.

  After completing more than half of the trek we got so tired and planned to rest for a few minutes and then continued towards Base camp, As we move forward we came across a dense forest of Oak trees and the trail also got very steep. It is one of the most challenging parts of the trek.

  Reached Base Camp

  We finally reached the Base camp at around 5PM in the evening and to be honest the view from the top is beyond words. We were surprised to see such a crowd in their colorful tents, settling and getting ready for the bonfire. 

  We somehow found the perfect place for our camp set up at the top from where we could see the amazing scenic view. Our tour guide helped in setting up the camp and tents.

  As it was about to get sunset, we did some photography and watched the sunset peacefully. It was new year's eve and we were over-excited about the fact that we are going to begin the new year in the most stunning way. As time passed, we were around our bonfire, talking, drinking, singing, and truly enjoying the moment. 

  We finally slept inside our camp to wake up early as we wanted to reach the Summit to view the sunrise. 

  Day 3 Itinerary:

  Trek to summit:.

  The next day morning we started our journey with our tour guide very early to reach the summit. It was around  4-5 KM from the base camp. We passed the trail of snow-covered forest which finally took us to the structure of the temple, a renowned Nag Mandir of Nag Devta (the serpent god). 

  It was just a mesmerizing view to watch in the early morning. We kept trekking and finally reached the Summit point to witness the most beautiful sunrise ever. 

  I was feeling at the top of the World at that moment. We could easily witness the mighty Mount Everest and the sun emerging from behind the mountain forming a breathtaking view. We felt lucky that we could watch this Sunrise.

  Return to Pantwari Village:

  After spending enough time here, we came back to our base camp. The trek while coming done was easier for us as it was daytime and we could actually watch the trails and the fabulous views as well.

  After reaching the base camp, we took a break for some time to return to the Pantwari village. We had a return bus on the same day from Mussoorie. We came back to Mussoorie on time and finally took our bus back to Delhi.

  Important Points for Nag Tibba Trekking:

  1. Carry a water bottle as you will feel thirsty while trekking, also there are not enough options on the trail.

  2. Wear trekking shoes. You definitely don't want to take risks in the mountain. Though this is an easy trek still there are heaps and climbing trails.

  3. If you are traveling in the Winter season, take enough woolen clothes like gloves to cover yourself as the temperature might fall very very low. You will definitely gonna witness snow.

  4. Carry snacks as you will feel hungry and there isn't much option to eat that too after reaching the Nag Tibba Base Camp.

  Tour Details

  The best weekend trek near delhi.

  Nag Tibba Trek offers a great mountain camping experience and snow trail. Our campsites provide breathtaking views of the forest canopy and Himalayas, perfect for bird watching & photography. Nag Tibba offers scenic and pristine camping on snow covered meadows. The trek gives you an adventurous opportunity to climb the Nag Tibba peak (9,915 feet) which is the highest in the lower Garhwal mountain range of the Himalayas.

  TrailHikers invites you to the Nag Tibba Trek in Winter 2023. This satisfying circuit used to be a classic three day trek but now, with motor roads reaching the furthest village, you can be at the base of the mountain in a morning’s jeep ride from Mussoorie . However the fact remains that four good reasons for doing this trek are still valid: Nag Tibba is a few feet short (9915ft) of the magical 10,000 ft mark. The mountain’s mixed oak and deodar forests are dense and isolated, and host to a rich variety of birds and wildlife.

  It has a romantic association with Heinrich Harrer’s best-selling Seven Years in Tibet as he escaped, in 1944, from a Dehradun prisoner of war camp. And it possesses a unique cultural identity where the Garhwali lifestyle, traditionally based on reverence for the Ganga, has been influenced by her younger sister the Yamuna. The village of Lakhamandal on the Yamuna is reckoned to be the site of the Mahabharata incident in which the Kauravas tried to immolate the Pandavas in a palace made of lac.

  You don’t really need porters for this weekend trek unless you are a group that wishes to savor the flavour of camping out. Many trekkers doss down in the village primary schools overnight, or head for the Gujjar grazing sites to sleep out under the stars on Nag tibba. The gujjars are extremely hospitable and make for another highly rewarding cultural study. Their dignity and integrity deserves to be emulated not destroyed.

  WARNING: Bears are for real here and no villager will venture on Nag Tibba trek except in the full light of the day !

  Who can do Nag Tibba trek ?

  Nag Tibba snow trek is easy to moderate level trek with a challenging high gradient rocky trail in the beginning. The trek is suitable for first timers as well as trekkers who want to savor the taste of a Himalayan trail in 2 days. The minimum recommended age group for the trek is 7+ years.

Pantwari has a small market which supplies almost all day to day needs of locals. Pantwari also has a couple of good fast food shops which also cook regular Indian meals. Villagers are mostly farmers, some of which also earn their living by providing their services to the tourists coming for the Nag Tibba trek. In fact, Pantwari has large number of young men who provide porter, guide, cook & mule services for Nag Tibba trekkers.

  Trekkers arrive in Pantwari at around 10:15 am. Our team member receives them on the roadhead & takes them to Nag Tibba Trekkers lodge in the village where the trekkers can freshen up, change & have breakfast.

Finally trekkers are given the trek registration form to fill up.

  Starting from Pantwari

  Trekkers start the trek from Pantwari at around 11:00 am under the guidance of TrailHikers trek leaders & local forest guides.

  Rocky Trail

  Nag Tibba trek has an intial rocky trail which starts right from the village Banasari.

After about 1 hour & inter-crossing four motorable roads, the trekkers reach the second water source which is called “Naugaon” by the villagers (not to be confused with Naugaon near Purola). Naugaon has a clean water source and a perfect shady place to relax on the trail.

If you have bulky backpacks or trek equipment, you can also hire mule (called “khacchar” locally) from here. Hiring a local guide is advisable but if you are hiring a mule then it not necessary as the mule owner doubles up as a guide. Though, for big groups, a trek guide is a must.

  Start the trek by walking on the main road of the village till about 100 metres, when you find a right turn that goes straight up into the village. After ascending for about 50 metres, you’ll reach a big cemented gate which welcomes you to “Gramsabha Banasari”, the entry to Pantwari’s twin village Banasari.

One can sit and relax in this shady place and also fill water bottle.

  Just towards a little left of this point, a zig zag trail which starts near a cattle shed, goes up the mountain. Take this path and after a moderate ascent of 15-20 mins, you’ll reach an almost flat path which heads south. On your left are the grassy mountains and on your right is an amazing view of the valley and forested mountains across it.

As you hike on this trail for 30 mins, a third big grassy clearing comes which again leads to the forest. After about 30-35 mins of a hike on a very moderate gradient, you’ll reach a huge ground like flat grassy patch with a visible big cemented hut like structure (constructed by the locals).

  Setting up Camping Tents

  There are many flat patches at this place where you can pitch your tents, but we would recommend you pitch your tents to the left side just beside the cemented hut (if its not already taken).

  Drinking Water

  Water for drinking & cooking purposes can be fetched from a water body near Nag Devta temple, which is just about 200 metres away. Its good to carry small buckets to fill water.

  If you are visiting Nag Tibba in the winter months (Nov-March), then a bonfire is a must. If you have a guide or mule guy with you, he’ll arrange or collect the firewood otherwise there is plenty of drywood around in the winter months which you can collect yourself !

  Have a freshly cooked meal around the bonfire and beneath the stars and then huddle into your tents for a well-earned sleep !

  Climbing Nag Tibba Peak

  

  Wake up early morning to the chirping birds and an enchanting view of the mountains around, bathing in the rising sun. Look towards east and you’ll see the Nag Tibba massiff, the mountain that you’ll climb in a few hours. Try to have an early breakfast and start the trek for the Nag Tibba summit by 8 am.

  A rocky trail that starts just few metres from the cemented hut takes you straight to the Nag Tibba peak. Just as you start this trail, look towards your left, you’ll see the first glimpse of the higher Himalayan peaks between the gaps in the trees. After about 100 metres this trail enters a forest which is full of chirping birds and beautiful fauna. In about 30 mins of hike on a moderate gradient you’ll reach a big clearing in the forest which is usually snow covered in months of Jan & Feb.

  – Nag Devta is worshipped by the locals for the protection of their crop & cattle – Highly skilled nomads called Gujjars come to Nag Tibba mountain during summer months to graze their goats & buffalos

  Nag Tibba Summit 3,022 m

  

  A further one hour hike through the dense forest will bring you to a ridge with steep falls on eastern side. Climb this ridge and in 10 mins you’ll reach an almost flat path which leads to the Nag Tibba peak or “Jhandi” (local name). As you walk about 50 metres towards east on this path, you’ll see a ‘Jhandi’ tied over a wooden pole. You have reached the Nag Tibba peak, which at 9915 ft (3022m), is the highest peak in the Nag Tibba range of mountains. From here you can witness a 180 degree panoramic view of the higher Himalayan peaks like Bandarpoonchh, Swargarohini, Kalanag, Kedarnath, Chanabang & Gangotri group of peaks.

  I joined as a solo trekker for a fixed group departure for Nag Tibba trek. Initially, I was very skeptical about taking my first trek without any hiking experience, but I must say that TrailHikers made it all absolutely worthy. Right through initial briefing at Pantwari village, to trek guides & trek leader and campsite management – everything was extremely professionally managed. Even at high altitude camps, the camp staff provided us a nice variety of hot delicious vegetarian meals. High recommend TrailHikers team !

  

  I would hail the Nag Tibba trek as the best weekend Himalayan experience of my life. I along with my friend were actually planning a trek near Kasol in Himachal, but changed the plan as we had already done a couple of trails there. Nag Tibba was a wholesome experience in terms of a complete Himalayan winter trek. The trek offers everything – challenging trail in the beginning, eye soothing forest walk in the middle & snowcapped base and summit later. Of course, the trek experience was made more worth by the very professional trekking & camp team of TrailHikers – thanks a ton

  

  Awesome trek to Nag Tibba !!!

  It was a awesome trip for our group. Nice trekking route . . . Finally when we reached to summit it was a amazing scenery and our special thanks to guide, cooks, and all other trek coordinating team.

  About Nag Tibba Trek

  Indian mythology is rooted deep in traditions and beliefs. Snakes or Nagas, as they are called in the local tongue, are highly revered in Hindu mythology. With festivals, temples, scriptures, Gods, and Goddesses dedicated to snakes and snake deities, there is no surprise that we have sacred mountains and hilltops that are central to popular religious beliefs. As luck would have it, adventure junkies looking for some spiritual insight can undertake a trek to the snake mountain , made popular by the name Nag Tibba.

  Nag Tibba or Serpent's Peak, standing at an elevation of 9,915 feet is your calling if you are seeking a quick rendezvous in the Himalayas! It is the highest peak in the lower Himalayan ranges and the Bugyal region of Uttarakhand.

  Beautiful camping locations with glimpses of colossal mountain ranges such as Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, Srikanth, Black Peak, meandering trails through thick Deodar jungles, and some remote stretches interspersed with wild flora and exotic wildlife, Nag Tibba is flavored with all the elements of a great Himalayan trek. Being a circular trek, Nag Tibba trek treats you to a brand new vista and fresh trails while descending from the summit. There is no overlap of terrain and this contrasting landscape is the complimentary perk of this trek.

  7 Things to Keep in Mind Before Going To Nag Tibba Trek

  

  Here are a few essential things you should note down if you’re planning to do the Nag Tibba trek:

  • Depending upon the time of the year, pack necessary clothes. Don’t underestimate the cold because you’re coming from a hotter region.
  • Buy some energy boosters for the way — chocolates, glucose powder, or energy drinks.
  • Keep more than one bottle of water. There’s only one source of freshwater between the starting point and the base camp. However, you’ll encounter one or two shops selling lemon water if it’s the summer.
  • If you’re not an experienced trekker or coming for the first time, it’s good to go via a trek facilitator or travel agent. We have a trusted connection. If you want it, please contact Misfit Wanderers.
  • Ensure you have support for climbing. Either buy a trekking pole or take a temporary wooden stick from Pantwari village. Your trek guide will help you with the latter.
  • Also, if there’s snow, please buy snow trekking shoes or snow boots to avoid serious accidents. Alternatively, you can get them on rent from Dehradun and Mussoorie.
  • You will need at least two days to easily cover and enjoy the Nag Tibba trek.
  

  From the starting point, Pantwari Village, to the base camp of the Nag Tibba trek measures 5 km. This distance is comparatively more challenging than the rest of the trek. You pass through rough trails, not so steep but with small rocks, pebbles, and other wild objects.

  However, the landscape you see along this trail is simply unexplainable. You might meet villagers selling lemon water or carrying heavy loads to the top. It is worth noting that most of the path of this 5 km doesn’t have a shed, so be prepared to grapple with sweat if it’s hotter when you’re doing this trek.

  After you reach the base camp, which is actually 5 km before the summit, you usually rest for the night. And then the next day, early in the morning, approximately around 3:30 am, you wake up and start the trek to the summit. If you don’t want to see the sunrise, you can adjust the time accordingly.

  Just before 1 km from the summit, you will see the Nag Devta Temple. He is the god of snakes and locals offer their prayers to Him for the protection of their cattle. Don’t forget to visit this landmark!

  

  Furthermore, there’s an on-demand taxi service; ask your travel guide. You can get a taxi, 2 km away from the base camp, to go to Pantwari and vice-versa.

  Nag Tibba trek starts at the Pantwari village. So, the distance of Nag Tibba from Dehradun is 100 km, from Mussoorie is 55 km and from Delhi is 380 km.

  To do the Nag Tibba trek:

  • First, reach Dehradun,
  • Then take the government to operate bus or taxi to Pantwari village (your travel facilitator might arrange this as well),
  • Start the trek on or before 1 pm to reach base camp by the evening.
  

  The best time to visit the Nag Tibba trek is October to March. However, if you want to see the snow and Nag Tibba hike in a whitish embrace, go in any month between January to March.

  We went in March, and it was too hot during the day, but as we ascended from the base camp towards the summit, the temperature began to drop, and the chilly breeze was now hitting our cheeks.

  If the sky is clear and there’s no moonlight, there’s a strong possibility you can see the band of the Milky Way galaxy from the naked eye. We saw it during our trek to the summit, and man, it was awesome!

  If you are a space lover or fancy celestial objects, plan your trip to Nag Tibba trek.

  

  To reach Nag Tibba, you have to arrive at the Uttarakhandi village, Pantwari. And to get to this village, you have to take a private or public vehicle from Dehradun. Furthermore, you can reach Dehradun using the following methods:

  Dehradun Railway Station (DDN) connects to significant stations in India, including Delhi and Lucknow.

  The Jolly Grant Airport in Dehradun connects to many airports in India. You can easily find several cheap flights to Dehradun from different parts of the country and the world.

  Uttarakhand Transport Department runs regular buses from and to the surrounding states. For example, you can get frequent buses from Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi. Don’t forget to call the customer care of the relevant transport department to know specific timings.

  

  If you have booked your trek via a travel agency, they will already have accommodation sorted. If you are going without any travel agency, you will find accommodation in Pantwari village and at the base camp.

  However, it is good to book ahead and visit in the off-season to avoid any tussle. Again, we have trusted contacts, so please reach out to the Misfit Wanderers if you want to do the Nag Tibba trek.

  History of Novosibirsk Oblast

  Over thousands of years, the territory of the Novosibirsk region, due to its location on the border of natural zones and cultural regions (the Siberian taiga and the Eurasian steppe), played the role of a buffer zone or border zone of different peoples.

  In the 13th-15th centuries, this land was the eastern outskirts of the Golden Horde. Later, until the end of the 16th century, it was part of the Siberian Khanate. In the 18th century, the territory of the present Novosibirsk region became part of the Russian Empire.

  Despite the relatively favorable climate, the Russians began to settle here relatively late. The Barabin Tatars were the indigenous people. Today, their total population is about 10,000 people living mainly in the western parts of the region.

  The Barabin Tatars were subjected to constant attacks of the Kalmyks (the Oyrates and Teleuts). Russian villages were also under the threat. That’s why people preferred to settle in the north, near Tomsk. Only at the end of the 17th century, Novosibirsk province became attractive to settlers.

  More Historical Facts…

  The first settlement was founded by the boyar son Alexey Kruglik in 1695. Later, this settlement became the village of Kruglikovo. Today, it is located in Bolotninsky district. In the early 18th century, Berdsky stockaded town was built. Over time, the threat from the nomads decreased and the number of settlers increased.

  In 1722, the Siberian line of fortresses along the Irtysh River was constructed. The locals were mainly engaged in soil tilling, fishing and hunting. In the early 19th century, the famous Ural manufacturer Akinfiy Demidov constructed two copper melting plants here - Kolyvansky and Barnaulsky.

  In 1893, due to the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the railway bridge across the Ob River, Alexandrovsky settlement was built (from 1895 - Novonikolayevsky). Thanks to its convenient geographical location (the Trans-Siberian Railway crossing the Ob River, transportation ways connecting Siberia with the European part of the Russian Empire), its trade importance grew rapidly. In 1909, Novonikolayevsk became a town. In 1925, it was renamed in Novosibirsk.

  Before 1921, the territory of Novosibirsk oblast was part of Tomsk gubernia, from 1921 to 1925 - of Novonikolayevsk gubernia, from 1925 to 1930 - of Siberian krai, from 1930 to 1937 - of West Siberian krai. September 28, 1937, West Siberian krai was divided into Novosibirsk oblast and Altay krai. This date is considered the official date of the region formation.

  Novosibirsk Oblast - Features

  Novosibirsk Oblast is located in the south east of the East-Siberian Plain, in the steppe, forest-steppe and taiga zones, between the Ob and the Irtysh rivers. The length of the region from west to east - 642 km, from north to south - 444 km.

  The southern part of Vasyugan swamp, the largest swamp in the world, occupies the territory in the north and north-west of the province. In the southwest, it borders with Pavlodar oblast of Kazakhstan.

  There are about 3,000 lakes on the territory of the Novosibirsk region. The largest lakes are Chany, Ubinskoye, Sartlan. Novosibirsk Reservoir also known as “the Ob Sea” (1,082 sq. km.) was created for Novosibirsk Hydroelectric Power Plant.

  The climate is continental. The average temperature in January ranges from minus 16 degrees Celsius in the south and minus 20 degrees Celsius in the north. The average temperature in July - plus 18-20 degrees Celsius.

  The largest cities and towns are Novosibirsk (1,621,000), Berdsk (103,500), Iskitim (54,700), Kuybishev (43,000). Novosibirsk is one the largest industrial, transport, scientific, and cultural center of Russia, the third most populous city in the country after Moscow and St. Petersburg. It is also the capital of the Siberian Federal District.

  In the historical part of Novosibirsk you can find a lot of preserved monuments of the Russian Empire times. The Soviet era is presented by numerous scientific and cultural attractions, as well as beautiful parks.
