Pantwari · Nag Tibba Base · Nag Tibba Summit
Nag Tibba — the "Serpent's Peak" — is the highest point in the Lesser Himalayas and the perfect first trek for anyone leaving from Dehradun. It is an easy, beginner-friendly weekend climb that still rewards you with a sweeping summit view of Swargarohini, Bandarpoonch, Kedarnath and the Gangotri range. Dense oak forest, a cosy night under canvas and a gentle pace make it ideal for families and first-timers.
