The Journey
The Nag Tibba Trek is one of the most popular short Himalayan treks in Uttarakhand, perfect for beginners and weekend adventurers. Located near Mussoorie in the Garhwal region, Nag Tibba — meaning “Serpent’s Peak” — stands at an altitude of approximately 3,022 meters (9,915 ft). The trek offers breathtaking views of major Himalayan peaks including Bandarpoonch, Swargarohini, Kala Nag, and Gangotri ranges. The trail passes through dense oak and rhododendron forests, charming mountain villages, open alpine meadows, and scenic ridge walks. During winter months, the trek transforms into a snow paradise, making it ideal for snow trekking and camping. At the summit, trekkers are rewarded with panoramic sunrise views over snow-capped peaks and vast valleys. Nag Tibba is suitable for solo travelers, families, and first-time trekkers seeking an authentic Himalayan experience with minimal travel time from Dehradun or Mussoorie.
