Nag Tibba Trek Overview

Nag Tibba Trek

The Nag Tibba Trek (Serpentโ€™s Peak) is one of the most thrilling weekend treks near Dehradun and Mussoorie in the Garhwal Himalayas. Rising to an altitude of 9,915 ft (3,084 m), it is the highest peak in the lesser Himalayan range of Garhwal and serves as an ideal trek for beginners, families, and weekend adventurers alike.
