Nag Tibba Trek — Overview
Nag Tibba Trek is one of the best weekend gateways for beginners to start their trekking adventures. It is a perfect escape near Dehradun for all the adventure seekers who are unsure about planning short treks in the Himalayas. The summit offers a 360° view of snow-capped Himalayan peaks such as Gangotri, Banderpoonch, and Black Peak. “Nag Tibba,” at 3,022 m, is one of the representative ridge peaks in the foothills of the Garhwal Himalayas. These ranges form a perfect trio with ‘Dhauladhar’ and ‘Pir Panjal,’ ranking among the three principal ranges in the lower Himalayas. Nag Tibba is also mentioned by Austrian climber Heinrich Harrer in his popular book, ‘Seven Years in Tibet,’ detailing the mountaineer’s adventurous escape from Dehradun jail to Tibet.
The range owes its name to a Nag Devta Temple. Nagas (serpents) hold a special position in the Vedic stories of Hindu mythology. The locals living here also have a strong belief in Nagas, who are revered as clan gods by many tribes in Uttarakhand. Nag Tibba is mostly visited by trekkers during the winter season, but this trek offers stunning views throughout the year.
The trek starts from the quaint village of Pantwari and crosses a popular hamlet known as “The Goat Village.” The Goat Village is a community working towards a conceptually new blend of eco-tourism, agro-tourism, and rural tourism. Every year, the people of The Goat Village perform a ritual in which a goat marriage is organized, celebrated in spectacular Hindu tradition.
