Nag Tibba (3022m / 9,910 ft) is the highest peak in the lower Himalayan range in Garhwal, Uttarakhand, and one of the most popular weekend treks from delhi for a quick mountain escape. The trek distance is about 16 km round trip from Pantwari village base camp (1675m) and can be completed in 2 days with one night camping. Dev Yatra is the best trekking agency for guided treks from haridwar and dehradun, offering fully equipped packages with camping gear, meals, and transport.
The summit at 3022m gives a 360° panorama of Bandarpunch, Swargarohini, Kedarnath, and Gangotri peaks on a clear day. The trail passes through dense oak and rhododendron forest — excellent for birdwatching with Himalayan monal commonly sighted. The itinerary starts with a drive from haridwar or dehradun to Pantwari (100 km, 3.5 hrs), a 3-hour uphill trek to base camp, and an early-morning summit push on Day 2. Difficulty level is easy to moderate — ideal for beginners and first-time Himalayan trekkers.
Best time to visit is October to June — the summit gets good snow December to March, making it one of the most accessible winter snow experiences from Delhi and NCR. April and May bring rhododendron bloom and pleasant temperatures. Dev Yatra runs weekend departures from rishikesh, mussoorie, and delhi with group, solo, and corporate options. Our package covers transport, certified guide, camping gear, all meals, and forest permits at an affordable cost.

Nag Tibba is the most honest 'first Himalayan trek' option for Delhi residents. The summit at 3022m gives a genuine high-altitude experience without a week away from work. The overnight camp under stars with a bonfire and waking up for a sunrise summit is the experience — do not reduce this to a day hike if you want the real thing. The 2-hour drive from Dehradun to Pantwari is partly on a rough road — avoid if you have severe back problems. The forest section of the trail has leeches in monsoon season — wear covered shoes and avoid July–August unless you specifically want leeches.
This is the most popular weekend trek from Delhi and one of the finest beginner treks in Uttarakhand. At 3022m (9910 ft), it is the highest summit in the lower Garhwal Himalayas, offering a sweeping view of Bandarpunch, Swargarohini, Kedarnath, and Gangotri peaks. The total distance is approximately 16 km round trip from Pantwari base village, manageable in 2 days. Dev Yatra is the best trekking agency for guided departures from delhi, haridwar, dehradun, and rishikesh — with fixed weekend slots and customised group bookings year-round.
The standard itinerary starts with a drive from haridwar or dehradun to Pantwari village (100 km, ~3.5 hrs). Day 1 involves a 3-hour climb through oak and rhododendron forest to the overnight camp at 2600m. Day 2 covers the early-morning summit push (2 hrs up), panoramic views, and descent to Pantwari before the return drive. Altitude gain is approximately 1350m from base to summit. Difficulty is easy to moderate — no prior climbing experience required. Our certified guide leads every group and handles all safety and permit requirements.
The best season is October to June. Winter months (December–March) bring snowfall at the summit — frozen meadows and ice-coated trees make this one of the most magical accessible snow experiences from Delhi. April and May give clear skies and rhododendron bloom. June is pleasant but cloud cover may limit peak views. Monsoon (July–September) brings slippery trails and leeches — not recommended. December and January are the top choice for snow seekers from the NCR region.
Dev Yatra offers fully guided trekking with camping for groups, solo trekkers, couples, and corporate teams. Every package covers AC vehicle transport, certified local guide, quality dome tents, sleeping bags, all meals at camp, and forest permits — at an affordable and transparent cost.
