Nag Tibba is also known as Serpent's Peak which is at 3,022 metres (9,915 ft) is an ideal weekend trek. It is suited for people looking for a getaway from the boring routine. This trek can be done throughout the winter season. The trek can be done in 3 days from Delhi which makes it an ideal trek for weekends. Given its moderate level of challenge, anyone with a normal fitness can do this trek. The trek offers some of the best camping locations. The route goes through thick deodar forest.
