A quick run up Nag Tibba

The start

So one fine day I get a message from Neeraj (our trek lead from Kedar Kantha peak) if we would like to accompany him on the next trek, Happy, Harveen and I quickly decide we wanted to be a part of it.

Nag Tibba is a relatively unknown peak at 10,000 feet some 100 Km from Dehradoon.

Day 1

Our journey began at New Delhi Railway Station where we took Nanda Devi Express to Dehradoon. At 'Doon we boarded our cabs and reached Pantwari. Pantwari our starting point is a small village from where the trek starts.

When we started it was looking like it would rain and I was in my full rain gear with gaiters and more however by the time we were on our first resting point I was sweating and needed to take them off

The trail was easy as we started walking towards the goat village, the journy was uneventful at the goat village we had our lunch roti's with aalu subzi

In another hour or so we were at the base camp where we were greeted with tents laid out around a panoramic view. The remainder of the day was uneventful, we had food played games and went to sleep.

The evening was cold.

Day 2

Next day started off lazily, we were up at around 7 AM and started off, I was given a choice to be in slower or faster group and I chose to be in the slower. As we started off most of our friends due to inexperience or otherwise  were left behind and three of us started walking up the trail.

We treked through open meadows where we experienced some rain.

The trail was well laid and mostly pine forests and we continued. Suddenly we saw some snow and were able to see the peak.

The peak had a flag and a small temple of Lord Shiva. We dashed up to the peak and saw the 360 panoramic view, soon it started to snow, we had experienced all four seasons in a span of 24 hours. The weather was not clear however within a span of 30 minutes our entire group arrived and after a few obligatory shots we started down and soon reached the camp.

The camp had almost been disassembled as the gear was supposed to be taken down, we had a quick lunch and goofed around for a while until marching orders were given.

By now my knee had started to trouble me and I had some sort of cramp in my right leg.
I was the first one to leave but had to slow down and in the end Neeraj was besides me as I walked down.

We soon reached our starting point and drove back to 'doon... bidding goodbye once again to the majestic peaks.
