For tourists visiting Rishikesh in the
state of Uttarakhand in India, Nag Tibba
trek is the nearest trek route available. It is accessible easily from
Delhi and covers an area of approximately 28 kilometers altogether. The name is
derved from the snake god “Nag Devta” and the word tibba which is local word
for hill or peak. The local villagers come to Nag Tibba to worship for the
protection of their cattle.
At an altitude of 9915 feet, Nag Tibba
trek is one of the most visited trekking routes near Mussourie in Uttarakhand.
Far away from the maddening noise and crowd of the city, people who want to
relax visit this place for the abundance of nature, the forests and the
wilderness and the panoramic views of the Himalayas. The Bandarpoonch peak, the
Gangotri group of peaks, Doonvalley, Kedarnath peak in the north and the snow
peaks of Chanabang are the Himalayan peaks that can be viewed from the Nag tibba trekking expedition.
The Nag Tibba trek has primarily four
routes. One of them is most recommended but trekking tours for others are also
arranged on demand. First, the Pantwari, at an altitude of 4590 feet serves as
the starting point and can easily be accessed through Mussourie. Pantwari to
Lasser village and then a 5 Km trek to Nag Tibba base and a further 3 Km to the
top comprises the trekking in this route. Aunter Village at an altitude of 5470
feet is 14 Km from the Nag Tibba base and is another option for Nag Tibba trek.
The best time of the year for trekking
here is from March to June. The temperature at this time ranges between 9 and
20 degrees Celsius. July to September forms the monsoon and is filled with
rainy days towards which the temperature starts dipping.
