Nag Tibba Trek in October
Weather, temperatures, packing and honest advice — from the team that runs this trail.
The quick answer
Yes — October 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 October
The monsoon washes the sky clean, leaving the sharpest mountain views of the year. Trails are dry, rivers settle down, and nights get progressively colder as winter approaches. On Nag Tibba, expect daytime temperatures around 16°C on the trail and roughly 4°C at the highest camps after dark in October.
