Introduction
Adventure sports have been one of the most successful and practical ways to give people the chance to find a calm environment in which they may relax in the present when people are tired of this stressful and anxious life. Trekking is one of these adventure sports that are among the most frequented and well-liked and is widely completed during holidays. I’ll provide you with five justifications for making the trek to Nag Tibba today.
About
Nag Tibba, which translates to Serpents Peak, is the name of the tallest peak in the lower Himalayas of the Garhwal region near Mussoorie. Additionally, it gives the Nag Tibba Range, one of the three ranges of the Lesser Himalayas, a name (the others being Dhauladhar and Pir Panjal).
One of the best weekend walks for both amateur and experienced hikers is this one. The Great Indian Himalayas’ Bandarpunch range may be seen in its true form as it moves away from the Yamunotri side from a small temple on top of the hill.
Nag Tibba is one of the greatest places to go camping in the spring and summer and is one of the best places to go trekking in the winter when most treks are closed due to heavy snowfall. Due to how easy it is to get there, it is one of India’s most popular weekend treks.
Reasons
Closeness to Delhi
In the hurried world of today, time is the only finite resource. Therefore, everything has to happen on weekends, including going shopping, going on trips, spending time with family, etc. The best location to start this wonderful mountain-exploring excursion is with a stroll to Nag Tibba if you live in or around Delhi and grow weary of mostly visiting theatres and shopping malls. 90 kilometers from Dehradun, at Pantwari, is where Nag Tibba begins. So, if you board a bus from Delhi at 11:00 PM, you’ll get to Dehradun at 5:00 AM the next day. You can take a cab there, and by 9:00 AM you’ll arrive at Pantwari. If you start on Friday evening, you can start your trek by 9:00 AM.
Time for the trek
The time it takes to accomplish a weekend Trek-Trek to Nag Tibba’s top will depend on how hard you choose to push yourself. One of your initial worries is whether you can finish it. In that case, the best course of action is the 3-day itinerary that starts in Pantwari. You can start your two-day hike from Thatyur as well, but it might not be the best idea given the challenging ascent to Nag Mandir and the fact that there is only one water source until you are close to your tent for the day. If you stick to Thatyur’s plan, you’ll spend the night camping at Nag Mandir before summiting the next day and getting to Patwari by the day’s end.
A good route
From Pantwari to the summit of Nag Tibba, the terrain is quite flat, and there are no steep sections that take longer than five to ten minutes. The lack of these challenging ascents makes it possible for hikers, especially beginners, to appreciate the beauty of nature all around them. Beginners lack the patience of more seasoned hikers and prefer to see the fruits of their labors (i.e., hiking) as soon as possible. This is what happens on Nag Tibba. You camp at Nag Mandir, which gives a 180-degree view of the upper Himalayas, after a two to three-hour climb. The scenic Nag Mandir camping location is bordered by a Deodar forest and a Rhododendron forest on both sides. As beautiful as those from other camping sites are the sunsets in the Himalayas.
A healthy trek
You can meet all the challenges that longer treks present, including a jungle trail, snow, and a breathtaking view of the highest peaks in the Indian Himalayas, on a single excursion to Nag Tibba (only the duration is short). Mostly through a rhododendron forest, the first day of the journey, which starts at Pantwari, is composed. Sometimes after Nag Mandir or right before Nag Mandir, the trek entails crossing ankle- to knee-deep snow.
Sometimes after Nag Mandir or right before Nag Mandir, the trek entails crossing ankle- to knee-deep snow. You may take in the view of Bandar Poonch, Nanda Devi, and other peaks, including the highest peak in India, once you reach the summit. Above all, it’s a round walk if you plan correctly. Doing a circuit is usually a better experience than going back the same way since the landscape changes as you return and you always stay motivated.
Can be done throughout the year
The Nag Tibba walk is one of the best treks that can be completed at any time. You can plan this trip for the weekend when you want to take a break from your daily life. During the winter, snow will cover your trek’s route and fall copiously. The vista is beautiful when you have snow under your feet and are perched atop gorgeous rainforest trees. In the summer, the same landscape is covered in rhododendrons and brightly colored flowers. You must take this route at all seasons of the year to experience the different moods of this location.
