At the foothills of the Garhwal
Himalaya ranges, north east of Mussoorie, Nagtibba is at an altitude of 3048 mts.
The trek starts from Dhanaulti on a
forest track upto Morina Dhar. This place is situated on a saddle and at sunrise it is
a beautiful sight to watch the sun peeping from behind the mountains. From Morina Dhar
the trek is on a ridge, most of the time parallel to the Garhwal Himalaya ranges from
Swaragarohini to Nandandevi. This part of the trek is very rich in flora and fauna.
Only a few villages come enroute and even those are abandoned during winter months.
From Nagtibba to Nainbagh is a downhill trek to the picturesque
village
of
Panthwari
, (motorable too) gay with life and presenting the culture of
Jaunpur.
