The beautiful ridge along the Nag Tibba Temple
Nag Tibba lies on the foothills of the Garhwal Himalayas, North-East of
Mussoorie. The peak is at an altitude of 3100 m. It offers spectacular views of
Mussoorie, Vikasnagar, the Banderpoonch range and spurs created by the
Yamuna river valley. Nag Tibba is a typical ridge peak on the Nag Tibba Range of
the lower Himalayas. In fact, along with the Pir Punjal and Dhauladhar, the Nag
Tibba range forms one of the 3 main ranges of the lower Himalayas. It is
mentioned in the very famous book '7 years in Tibet' which chronicles the
escape of Austrian climber Hienrich Harrer from the British jail into Tibet.
There is a temple dedicated to Nag Devta and the range owes its name to
this temple. Snakes have always held an important status in the Hindu religion.
According to Hindu mythology, snakes are considered as the representation of
rebirth, death and mortality, due to its casting of the skin and being symbolically
"reborn".

Dehradun to Kathian Campsite (7,431 ft) via Pantwari
Distance: 96 KM | Duration: 4 hours
Altitude : 7,431 ft
Pickup Location: Prince Chowk near Railway Station, Dehradun
We begin the day early from Dehradun so that we can avoid the traffic towards Mussoorie and Kempty falls. Mussoorie is
22 km from Dehradun and Kempty falls another 17 km ahead. The road continues downhill from here towards the Yamuna
river bed and reaches the town of Nainbagh. One road continues towards
Yamunotri while we take the narrower road which climbs uphill towards Pantwari
village. This takes us behind the Mussoorie ridge and into shepherd territory.
After a total of three and a half hours’ journey from Dehradun, we reach Pantwari
village and begin our ascent to our camping site. One can enjoy the village setting
and life. Our trekking trail rises beyond the farms and enters wild territory.
The trek begins from the main road that cuts through village Pantwari itself.
The trail climbs high up across the ridge face, right behind the village Pantwari, in
the eastern direction. After a walk of 5 minutes we leave the main village behind.
The trail is rather steep until almost halfway today, or until we arrive at the Goat
Village on our left, an initiative started to sustain the way of living in the
Himalayan villages, which is increasingly threatened by migratory trends. The trail
is mildly steep from here until the Kathian Campsite.
We reach our camping ground by late afternoon and enjoy the sunset over the hill spurs. The camping ground is flush with
mint leaves which can be mixed to form a delightful brew of mint tea or the Kandali shrub can be washed and cooked to
form a tasty saag.
The campsite at Kathian is famous for the marvellous sunset views that can be seen from here and is a highlight of the
Nag Tibba trek. The colours come out beautifully during the evening twilight hours.

The snow covered campsite in January
We start the second day post breakfast and
climb to the Nag Devta temple. It is an ill
maintained temple premise with a pujari, who is
present occasionally. The locals come here
frequently to pay their obeisance. There is a vast
open space near the temple which is often used
as a grazing ground for sheep and goats. The Nag
Tibba ridge rises further up and is another 1 hour
of journey ahead. There is a distinct change in
vegetation from here. The forests become dense
and is dominated by oaks and rhododendrons.
The forest floor is also damp indicating the lack
of sunlight reaching it.
After a total of three and a half hours’ journey from Dehradun, we reach Pantwari village and begin our ascent to our
camping site. One can enjoy the village setting and life. Our trekking trail rises beyond the farms and enters wild territory.
The trek begins from the main road that cuts through village Pantwari itself. The trail climbs high up across the ridge face,
right behind the viThis is an ideal habitat for a variety of orchids (locally called kachanar) to grow. However, with the
pressure of grazing, lopping of oaks and trekking, this region is under anthropogenic pressure. A variety of birds like the
niltava and flameback woodpecker are seen in the barks of oak trees. We follow the trail back to our campsite and after
lunch head down to Pantwari village. The trek down is easy and fast and can be covered in a couple of hours. We then
