Beginning from Pantwari, a calm village in the region of Dehradun-Mussoorie, the trek starts up a rough climb and following two or three hours on the trail, enters the forest of oaks and rhododendrons. The trek goes ahead up to Nag Tibba base, set apart by a temple committed to the serpent god, and from that point to Nag Tibba top. The peak of the climb brings forth a dream of the unveiling of the Gangotri peaks. From the highs of Nag Tibba, you can check out Bandarpoonch, Kedarnath, and Chanabang—all totally entrancing snow pinnacles of the Garhwal Himalayas!
Though it is a relatively unknown trail near Mussoorie it can easily be considered one of the best weekend treks for someone around Delhi.
