Nag Tibba Trek – The Serpent’s Peak

Tucked away in the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand, the Nag Tibba Trek is an ideal choice for beginners, weekend adventurers, and those who want a quick Himalayan escape without spending a week in the mountains. Known as the “Serpent’s Peak” and standing at an altitude of about 9,915 ft (3,022 m), Nag Tibba is the highest peak in the Lesser Himalayas of Uttarakhand. This trek offers stunning views of Bandarpoonch, Kedarkantha, Swargarohini, and Gangotri peaks on a clear day. Starting from Pantwari, a charming village located about 85 km from Dehradun, the trek is accessible year-round and is especially famous as a weekend snow trek during winter months (December to March). Its well-laid trail passes through oak and rhododendron forests, beautiful meadows, and open ridgelines, making it one of the most photogenic short treks in India. Despite being only two days of trekking, Nag Tibba delivers the full Himalayan experience: forest walks, mountain vistas, camping under the stars, and even the thrill of snow in winter. The summit climb is a rewarding challenge that ends with a 360-degree panoramic view of snow-capped peaks. Another charm of Nag Tibba is its flexibility. You can complete it in a 2N/3D itinerary (including travel from Dehradun) or even do it in a single night if you’re pressed for time. It’s equally suitable for solo travellers, groups of friends, families with kids, or corporate teams looking for a quick adventure outing. Musafir Baba’s Nag Tibba Trek package takes care of all the logistics—transport, guides, meals, permits—so you only need to bring your spirit of adventure. Whether it’s your first trek or a short weekend getaway, Nag Tibba will leave you with lifelong memories of the Himalayas.
