This is a grand weekend trek. The starting point of the trek and the finishing point are without difficulty accessible and close to Dehradun. So close, yet one can reach an altitude of more than 3000 mts and trek in an absolutely secluded region with almost no habitation. From the top the trail on the other side is through very thick jungles with views totally in contrast of the previous day. On this day one gets to pass through a couple of very beautiful villages situated amidst thick Deodar forests. You can go for Nag Tibba anytime except for the rainy reason. During winters, you will get to see snow as you approach the summit. During spring you will enjoy lush green forests.
Nag Tibba trek is a relatively unknown trail near Mussoorie in the Shivalik range of the Himalayas. The trek begins from the Pantwari village on the foothills of Garhwal and is about 6 hours’ drive from Dehradun. Featuring marvelous bounties of nature and hill dwellings, this short trek might prove to be of a great delight for first time trekkers. The chirping of mountain birds and the rich fragrance of canopies would easily please your senses all along the trail.
Another great attraction of this trip would be the camping experience. There are beautiful meadows and thick jungles along the trail offering numerous scenic camping locations.
