Description

Nag Tibba trek should be the one thing you should cross soon from your ‘treks to do in winter’ list. The Nag Tibba trek difficulty hits a beginner level and even expert trekkers would have a nice time trekking, for the view from the top is mesmerizing.

Nag Tibba has quite a mythical significance and the word ‘Nag Tibba’ Itself means Serpent’s Peak. This part of the Himalayan region is influenced by the ‘Nag-Devta’ or Serpent god and locals do worship the Serpent god. Especially at the time when they want their Cattle to flourish.

Nag Tibba is famous for camping and as a trekking destination situated in the midst of the Himalayan region. There is also a temple situated at the highest point of the Nag Tibba Summit and the view from there is something you would want to capture for life.

The best time to visit Nag Tibba is from April to June and from October to February, which is the preferred summer and winter months for the trek respectively. Winter has a surreal kind of adventure in these mountains and summers, in these mountains, have its different essence, try both to experience Nag Tibba trek at its best.

Differs from person to person. If you think that it would help you maintaining balance while trekking then do bring the pole. Some people think that trekking pole disturbs the walking rhythm. So it’s upto you.

Nag Tibba was my first snow trek, and Juatwravel made it a worthy weekend getaway. They made it absolutely hassle free, and I'd be looking forward to booking more trips in the near future for a fun experience with a good ensemble of team members.

I had my first trekking experience with JustWravel to Nag Tibba. We experienced snow after the base camp. Just Wravel managed it really well, guides were very helpful and cooperative, food and tents provided were good too. Although gitters were not provided still we managed to reach the summit without any injury to anyone. Overall the experience was amazing.

I recently went to Nagtibba with Justwravel. Being a first timer, I was little worried but they made sure that each and everybody in the group enjoys every moment of the trip. Everything was well taken care of. I would highly recommend this if somebody wants to explore and have fun, (specially for solo female travellers). Thanks and all the best JustWravel!!

Jaya Viva Kindo

It was my very first trek and chose Justwravel, which was recommended by a colleague. The booking experience was good- I interacted with Manu who was prompt in answering my queries. The trek was an amazing experience for me, this being my first trek. Especially Siddhesh, the trek leader kept checking on me,which helped me to complete the trek. Rahul Rana, the local guide was also very kind. When he saw I was finding it difficult while descending he offered to carry my bag. I would like to do more Treks for sure but would also like to see more camping options where you can relax, enjoy the weather and nature.

Poonam Singh

Oooh God. amazing experience with JustWravel. I went to naag tibba and group leader was siddhesh. he was so caring, organized, happening and full of energy and patience at the same time. I would love to recommend JustWravel. Happy memories. ????

Abhishek Shrivastav

Hi All, I would like to recommend the Justwravel as best for trekking and tourism. I experienced the trekking to Nag Tibba and it was so hilarious and awesome. They have provided us two guides to guide us and to make our journey successful. Shadab Aahmad and Yeshi chaturvedi was our guid and both were so adorable and gentle folks who had helped and motivated us at evey point of time. Thus we could complete our journey and the sight was so amazing and beautiful. I must say that any person who is fond of trekking they can opt Justwravel and can have the experience of beauty of trekking and nature. My guides u were outstanding we'll miss ur company. I wish if i could go for next trip with u then for sure i will..????

Thanks justwravels for making my nag tibba trekk an amazing experience of my life. Bonefire and food at base camp was very good. Special thanks to the trekk instructors Shadab and yashi for their services.

Went on a trek to nag tibba in a group. This trek was amazing, had a wonderful experience. The trek leads shadab and yashi were very supportive and caring.

Akshaya Venkatesan

I booked my recent trek to Nag Tibba with JustWravel, my last minute bookings did not leave me any time to check on the reviews of other trekkers with the organisation. It turned out to be a good decision nevertheless. The trip was very well organized, comfortably planned with the most delicious food you could ever expect at such campsites. Commendable hospitality and an amazing trip to remember, thanks to the organisers!

Sharanya Munsi

I went for the Nag Tibba trek with these guys and it was well organized. The trek leader was Shadab was caring. But I wish the groups had started a little early on the trail so that it did not become a hurried affair to reach bases before it got dark. We found snow in the base camp which was a sight to withhold. The food offered was also filling and tasty. To have matar paneer with hot dal and rice along with gulab jamun at an altitude of 3000 ft is not an easy affair.

Naman Singla

It was my first group trip experience with justwravel to nag tibba and i must say that the overall experience was really great. Everything was well planned and very well executed. Special thanks to shadab for being so humble and supportive during the whole trek. He has his stories from his past treks and and will tell to different techniques to enjoy the trek. His company made the whole trek more amazing.

Manisha Negi

First time we used some traval agency for our trip, to be honest i was doubtful about it but you guys made our trip even more memorable. Had a blasting treck with super amazing timing. will give 6 star out of five. five for SHADAB & JUSTWRAVEL and one extra rating for the sunrise view.

It was my first solo trek to Nag Tibba and I had a wonderful experience there and made some amazing memories. Thank you JustWravel and special thanks to Kaustabh. ?

Neeraj Sehtya

My wife came across a trip being organized by JustWravel on 30th/31st December 2017. The trip was to Nagtibba. It was a well organized trip. Mohit and Tiklu, our trek leaders, were easily able to strike a balance between being our friends and leaders at the same time. They took good care of the person who felt sick during the trip while making sure others don't compromise on the fun part. Lit a borne fire on 31st December night and getting to know strangers was a new and enriching experience for me. For any trip that I make in the future, I will certainly check if Mohit is organizing a trip. He, without a doubt, is mature, fun-loving, passionate and conscientious. Cheers to more trips in the future :)

Saumya Budhiraja

It was my first solo travel and Just wravel made sure that it was a memorable one. I went to Nagtibba trek and the overall experience was absolutely phenomenal. Since, this was my first trek, i was super nervous but Manu, our trek leader made sure that I was at ease and enjoy every bit of my journey. All the other things like commutation,food,stay were taken care of really well. I would highly recommend Just Wravel as a travel partner :)

Ruchika Nayyar
