The Nag Tibba trek starts from Pantwari village near Mussoorie. Walk through village paths and forest to a mountain campsite, then climb towards the summit for far-reaching Himalayan views when the skies are clear. It is a rewarding first camping trek for active beginners and a compact mountain break for experienced walkers.
The plan below combines two trekking days with a second night in Mussoorie. If you have only a weekend, ask for a 2-day / 1-night trek-only itinerary returning towards Dehradun on Day 2.
Drive: allow around 4–5 hours, depending on pickup and road conditions. Walk: approximately 5 km; allow 3–5 hours depending on campsite and pace.
Leave Dehradun early for Pantwari. Meet the trekking team, check equipment and start the uphill walk through terraced countryside and forest. Settle into twin-share tents at the allocated campsite. Enjoy dinner and a quiet evening in the mountains. Camp location depends on access, conditions and local permissions.
Overnight: tented camp.
Walk: approximately 3 km to the summit, followed by about 8 km down to Pantwari; allow roughly 6–8 hours in total, with longer timings possible in snow.
Start early and climb towards Nag Tibba summit, passing the Nag Devta temple area along the route. Take time for the views if weather allows, then descend via camp to Pantwari. Continue by road to Mussoorie if your booking includes the extension. Check in and rest after the longest walking day.
Overnight: Mussoorie hotel, arranged as quoted. For the 2-day option, return towards Dehradun instead; avoid booking a tight onward connection.
After breakfast, enjoy a relaxed morning in Mussoorie. Choose a short local walk or sightseeing such as Lal Tibba or Company Garden, subject to time, access and any entry costs. Travel back to Dehradun at the agreed time. Confirm your onward train or flight with us before booking.
Trip ends: Dehradun. Hotel, sightseeing and vehicle arrangements follow your written quotation.
Distances and walking times are approximate. The guide may change the route, campsite or summit plan for weather, trail conditions or local instructions. Snow and summit views are never guaranteed.

Spring offers comfortable walking conditions; autumn is popular for mountain views. Winter can bring snow, freezing nights and slippery trails. During the monsoon, rain can affect paths and road access. Choose dates around the latest local forecast and access advice rather than expecting fixed conditions.
Prepare with regular walks, stairs and gradual uphill training. You should be comfortable walking for several hours with a daypack, including a long descent.
Confirm cold-weather equipment with us before winter departures. Carry litter back, respect village customs and local permissions, and avoid open fires or disturbance to wildlife.
Active beginners can enjoy this easy–moderate trek with preparation. Expect sustained uphill walking and a longer descent on Day 2. Snow, ice or rain make it more demanding. Tell us about your walking experience before booking.
The walking portion normally takes 2 days with one night camping. This page also offers a 3-day plan adding a night in Mussoorie. Tell us which option you want so we can confirm the right arrangements and price.
The walking route starts at Pantwari village. Dehradun is the usual transport hub. Pickup from Dehradun, Mussoorie or Rishikesh can be discussed and must be included in your quotation to be part of the package.
Snow may occur in winter, but snowfall, snow cover and summit access vary. We will check conditions before departure. Snow is not guaranteed, and the guide may shorten or change the walk.
Twin-share tents are included for the trekking night. Confirm sleeping bags, mattresses and any winter traction equipment in your quote. A Mussoorie hotel is a separate arrangement unless your package specifically includes it.
Standard trekking permits are included as quoted. Transport is included only if listed in your written booking confirmation. We will confirm any applicable local entry requirements and identification needed before departure.
Ask us about availability for your dates. Solo, smaller-group and private departures are available on request; contact us for a personalised quote. Shared departures depend on confirmed bookings.
Ask for the cancellation and date-change terms with your quote before paying. Weather-related changes, unused services and extra costs are handled under the terms agreed for your booking.
