Nag Tibba

It all started during a random Friday snack break at work. I looked at my colleague and said, Let’s go trekking! She smiled and said, “Let’s go!” The excitement lasted exactly two minutes before we realized we had no idea where to trek. Since we were both beginners, we went to Yogesh, the trekker in our team, for help. He suggested Nag Tibba. By the end of the day, four more people had joined us, including a couple of friends of friends. Just like that, our weekend plan was ready. On Saturday morning, I left for my second trek with a backpack full of excitement and very little idea of what lay ahead. 🙂

Just after crossing Goat village, it started raining heavily! We all forgot to carry ponchos but we had extra clothes 🙂 🙂 We got drenched in rain and lost in the jungle. Luckily some villagers crossed our path and offered help.

They offered us shelter, and food, and his wife shared their story. Once the rain allowed us to trek, we started walking uphill sweating. After walking for an hour, we reached the temple, Nag Tibba.

After enjoying the views for a few hours, we started walking downhill. We packed our bags and left for Mussoorie 🙂

How to reach Nag Tibba

Dehradun is well connected via railways and airways from various cities. There are direct cabs and local buses which could be taken to reach the base village for Nag Tibba, Pantwari.
Delhi -> Dehradun -> Pantwari.
Due to the crunch of planning, rush, and time we had to follow the below route via random local buses 🙂
Gurugram-> Delhi-> Rishikesh->Dehradhun -> Pantwari
Pantwari->Mussoorie->Dehradun->Delhi->Gurgaon

Best weather Nag Tibba

If you want to experience snow, trek in winters i.e December to March
October to November – For lush green views and flowers.
I went in the month of July just after 1st rain in Nag Tibba, avoiding trekking in the monsoon due to landslides.

Stay options

There are no fancy hotels at Pantwari, we stayed at a villager’s home as we were not carrying our tents. It’s a small village with a few homestays.
