Ideal for: Beginners, children, families and older adults

If you are a beginner and want to try a trek of moderate difficulty, the Nag Tibba trek is for you. Trekking helps families, children and beginners reconnect with the nature we often forget in everyday life. At about 3,022 metres in the Himalayas of Tehri Garhwal, Nag Tibba offers a superb natural setting, and its moderate climb makes it ideal for children and families.

Pantwari village is where the trek starts. The trail offers views of beautiful Garhwal villages, the Mussoorie ranges and the Gangotri and Yamunotri ranges of the Himalayas.

Day 1 Dehradun to Pantwari, trek to Nag Tibba Base Camp

Reach Dehradun at around 7:00 AM by train or flight. Take a moment to settle in and have a hearty breakfast. Our representative will meet you, and we set off on a scenic drive to Pantwari, about 3 to 4 hours away, with views of the Himalayan foothills and the green hills of Uttarakhand.

At Pantwari, rest for a while before your trek guide briefs you on the route. You will be given trekking gear for safety, and then we start the trek to Nag Tibba Base Camp.

Day 2 Base Camp to Nag Tibba Summit and back

As first light falls on base camp, the sky turns orange. After a nutritious breakfast, we head for the summit through forests where the air smells of cedar, birch and oak, with glimpses of the Garhwal Himalayas along the way. Higher up, the landscape opens to snow-covered peaks and the valleys below.

Reaching the summit at about 9,914 ft is a thrilling moment, and the panoramic views make the climb worthwhile. After photos, we descend to base camp, seeing the landscape from a new angle. Dinner and a relaxed evening in the mountains.
