Day 1: Dehradun To Panthwari Village And Starts Trek To Nag Tibba Temple

Day 2: Nag Tibba Temple To Nag Tibba Top And Return Down To Pantwari Village And Drive To Dehradun


Day 1: Dehradun To Panthwari Village And Starts Trek To Nag Tibba Temple

Day one starts with the road journey from Dehradun railway station (The cab charges extra ,check ‘How to Reach” ) to Panthwari village via Mussoorie, Kempty falls, over Yamuna Bridge and up to Nainbagh on the road to Purola. There are three routes that you could take to go to Nag Tibba. This one via Panthwari village is the shortest, with a total trail distance of 8 km from Panthwari Village to the Nag Tibba Summit. A minute into the hike, Nag Dev temple will appear on your left. From this point the trail curves towards the left and the cemented trail is now replaced with a rocky shepherds trail. After walking for 10 minutes on this well defined trail you reach a motorable road. Cross this road and locate a trail going up the mountain straight ahead of you. It is a 15 minute walk between the first and the second road crossings. As you walk past the third crossing, you find your first water point. The stream drains into a cemented reservoir. After the fourth and last road crossing you reach a small village. From here, take a trail going up towards the left. It is an easy ascent and you can enjoy walking past vast tracts of farmland and the Panthwari village below. Face the Panthwari village, and you will find the connecting ridge to Nag-Tibba behind you. Then in 20-30 minutes we reach our twilight camping location.

Day 2 : Nag Tibba Temple To Nag Tibba Top And Return Down To Pantwari Village And Drive To Dehradun

As the day 2 starts we must rise early to get a head start as it is going to be a long day with lot of walking to do. From our campsite we are straightway going to the dense forest. Though it is an easy trek however, during the months of January and February snow makes it difficult to identify the trail. The landmarks on this 2 km trail to reach Nag Tibba Base are the two small open patches of land which you pass 20 minutes and 35 minutes from Camp 1. The estimated time it takes to reach Nag Tibba Base is around 45 minutes to 1 hour. The route is mostly a gradual walk with a small section of steep ascent for 10 minutes in between. Nag Tibba Base is a large clearing with a temple dedicated to the Serpent God. You also get a view of the Garhwal peaks through the forest. In winter one will encounter a lot of snow here. As you keep climbing look for a flag on the highest point called Nag Tibba “Jhandi” or summit. Looking down towards the other side of the ridge you will see the route from Deolsari or Devalsari village. On the left-hand slope from the summit one can get a terrific view of the Himalayan ranges of Swargrohini, Bandarpoonch, Kala Nag, Srikanta, and Gangotri. The whole section looks beautifully carpeted in snow making it a true winter weekend trek. The remaining 8 km trek involves retracing the same route taken to reach the summit. Pace the trek so that you reach Panthwari before sunset. And finally return to Dehradun.

    Trekking such long distances in high altitudes requires a lot of energy. Our cooks on the trek provide you with as nutritious food as possible. But it should be remembered that a lot of ingredients need to be carried on such high altitudes and it is only human to forget something. We request our members to keep an open mind and enjoy the best of what we can provide.

    Let’s look at few food habits you need to follow while trekking:-

    Breakfast is the first meal of the day before the beginning of the trek. Complex carbs break down and release energy slowly. This keeps providing you with a constant source of energy throughout the day. Drink at least 4-5 litres of water daily. (mix ORS in water which will maintain the water level) Granola Bars for post-lunch fatigue. (Optional) Trail mixes and granola bars of nuts and whole grains can be used to tackle post lunch fatigue which usually happens 2-3 hours after lunch. They are a good source of carbohydrates and vitamins. Electrolytes for rehydration. Towards the end of the trek, the body becomes dehydrated and depleted of salts and ions through sweating. Electrolytes like ORS should be consumed mixed with water to recharge the body. Carry multivitamin tablets for complications arising due to vitamin deficiency.(optional) Consume hot liquids at night to keep your body warm. (We provide soup at bed time at times )Strictly Avoid alcohol ,It’s prohibited during trek .If we found any banned drugs ,You will sending back instantly and we have rights to file a complain for the same . It is a common myth that alcohol keeps you warm in cold climate,Please avoid it .It makes you susceptible to hypothermia, makes your breathing shallow and accelerates altitude Avoid non-vegetarian food.Non-vegetarian food should be avoided as proteins take a lot of time to digest in high altitudes and cause various gastrointestinal complications. Eggs can be consumed in small quantities. (we do provide boiled eggs at times) Drinking water is not readily available in hills and hence the trekkers are advised to use water wisely and fill their water bottle every time when crossing or walking nearby the river or water springs .

    Women safety is paramount. There have been no cases of eve-teasing on our treks. Generally Gender Ratio is 6:4 (M:F)
