Nag Tibba Trek in February

Weather, temperatures, packing and honest advice — from the team that runs this trail.

The quick answer

Yes — February is one of the best months for the Nag Tibba trek. It falls squarely in the trail's prime season (Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr). The trek runs 2 days from Pantwari, Tehri Garhwal, reaching 9,915 ft at its highest point, and is graded Easy (1/5). The fee is ₹3,499 + 5% GST with permits, meals, camping and certified trek leaders included.

Why this window works: October to April serves crisp, clear skies for the 180° snow-peak panorama, with occasional snow near the summit in deep winter — perfect weekend conditions.

Weather & trail conditions in February

Expect snow on the upper sections of the trail and frozen water sources near camps. Micro-spikes and gaiters (provided on our snow treks) become essential above the snowline, and daylight hours are short — days start early and end early. On Nag Tibba, expect daytime temperatures around 12°C on the trail and roughly -3°C at the highest camps after dark in February.
