About The Trek

Nag Tibba, meaning "Serpent's Peak," is the perfect weekend getaway trek for beginners and seasoned trekkers alike. Located just 90 km from Dehradun and 57 km from Mussoorie, this is one of the most accessible Himalayan treks, making it ideal for first-timers and those short on time. Despite being a short trek, Nag Tibba doesn't compromise on the Himalayan experience. The trail takes you through dense oak and rhododendron forests, charming Garhwali villages, and pristine meadows. During winter (December to March), the trek transforms into a snow wonderland, perfect for those wanting their first snow trekking experience. The summit rewards trekkers with stunning views of Himalayan giants including Swargarohini, Bandarpunch, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and even distant views of Nanda Devi.
