Nag Tibba Trek Experience

This picture was clicked on 20th October 2018 when 5 lifelong friends reached the top of Nag Tibba Peak after an almost 7-8 hrs of moderate trek.

I would not say it was easy Since one of our friends actually put all of his strength just to be there at top of the peak with us But it was actually more than easy and less than difficult.

The majority of people standing here are from IT corporate, People usually travel to get a break from their daily stressful jobs. But I've never seen anyone of them stressed or tense. Nag Tibba was not sudden it was preplanned one week prior.

We took the bus from Kashmere gate on Friday night and since we haven't applied for any leaves, so we need to be back in Delhi by Monday morning. We've reached Dehradun early morning and boarded a bus to Nainbagh. After taking a lift from Nainbagh we've reached the start of the trek i.e Pantwari. We were not a part of any travel groups, so we carried a few packets of bread, biscuits and all from Pantwari before starting the trek. The beginning of the trek was pretty easy and after 2 to 3 kilometers, we could see a better stretch of landscape with forests and streams. We reached the camping spot by the sunset and since we were extremely tired, we just enjoyed the sunset to the fullest.

Somehow we talked to camping guy and arrange 2 tents for us, The temperature was dropping down as the night approached the region and we started shivering.

The next morning, we started to climb the hill around 4:40am to reach the top of Nag Tibba. It was around 4.5 kilometers from the base to the top. Before reaching the top itself, we could see Nag Devta Temple. It was the only kilometer from the temple to the summit. We took around 3 hours in total to reach the top. The views from the top were amazing.

We saw the tall mountains in the Himalayas, especially from Swargarohini to Nandadevi. We descended to reach Pantwari before sunset as we had to reach Dehradun that night itself because we have our tickets booked at 8pm from Dehradun to New Delhi. It was a fun and memorable trek.
