Itinerary Description
Nag Tibba is the trip for you if you\'re searching for a break from your busy work schedule and a chance to spend the weekend in the solitude and quiet of the mountains. It is a beginner-level walk that is close to the picturesque hill town of Mussoorie and is renowned for its magnificent summit views and breathtaking sunsets from the campground. This walk, which rests at 3,022 m and extends over 19 km, is a true treat for all hikers because it is accessible to everyone with a basic degree of fitness throughout most of the year. The snake God is claimed to reside in Nag Tibba, which is also known as the serpent\'s peak. This little hike is healthy in its own unique manner. It begins in the sleepy town of Pantwari and travels over a rocky incline before merging into a local shepherd\'s path with gentle ascents and abrupt descents. The journey traverses a snow-covered, sometimes difficult-to-navigate landscape that includes extensive Rhododendron and Oak woods. After roughly 5.5 kilometres of hiking, the jungle opens out to a tiny clearing with the Nag Mandir in the middle, providing breathtaking views of the neighbouring hills. The campsite\'s spectacular sunsets are made possible by the open terrain, but the charm is topped by the starry sky that comes thereafter. The steep and difficult climb to the summit will reward you with magnificent views of several famous Himalayan peaks, including Gontri, Bandarpoonch, Swargarohini, and Black Peak, among others and for this reason, the Nag Tibba journey is unique. A must-do weekend winter trek in the Himalayas, it presents you with an exceptional summit vista of a magnificent range of snow-covered Garhwali Peaks on the second day of the walk itself. The greatest time to go on the Nag Tibba Trek is from December to March when it is snowing. During these months, the paths are totally covered with snow, making some of them difficult to walk.
