Quick answer: The Nag Tibba trek with Trekkaro costs ₹3,825 + 5% GST (₹4,016) per person for 2 days, covering the night at camp, all meals on the trek, permits, the trek leader and Free Trekking Gear. The shared cab from Dehradun to Pantwari and back is not included: we help the group book it, and you pay the driver directly, split among trekkers. From Delhi, add your train or bus fare each way.

Nag Tibba is the cheapest way to stand on a real Himalayan summit in a weekend: 3,022 m (9,915 ft), one night in a forest camp and about 16 km on foot. Here is what the whole trip costs from your door, what the fee includes, and where the extras are.
1. The trek fee: ₹4,016, plus a shared cab
Trekkaro’s Nag Tibba fee is ₹3,825 + 5% GST = ₹4,016 per person (the list price is ₹4,250). It covers:
- One night of camping near the Nag Devta temple in 3-person tents, with dining and toilet tents
- All meals from Day 1 lunch at the trailhead to Day 2 lunch, with tea, soup and snacks
- Forest permits and camping charges
- Tents, sleeping bags and mats
- A certified trek leader and a local guide for the 2 days, with cook and support staff
- First-aid kit, pulse oximeter and blood-pressure checks
- Free Trekking Gear: Decathlon trekking shoes, a -10°C jacket, trekking poles, gaiters and microspikes, with no rental fee
The fee does not include transport. Trekkaro helps the group book shared cabs from Dehradun Railway Station at 6:30 am to Pantwari and back; the fare is paid directly to the driver and split among the trekkers, and your trek coordinator confirms it when the batch is formed. Meals on the drive and travel insurance are also yours to arrange.
2. Free Trekking Gear: what it saves you
The three items that make a first trek expensive, shoes, jacket and poles, come free on the Nag Tibba trek. You pay a ₹3,000 refundable deposit and a ₹200 washing charge; the deposit comes back when you return the gear. For a winter batch the gaiters and microspikes are included at no extra charge, which is what makes Nag Tibba such an easy first snow trek. If you were buying the kit, the Decathlon shoes, jacket and poles alone would cost more than the trek itself.
3. Optional add-ons
| Add-on | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Backpack offloading | ₹800 + 5% GST | Up to 9 kg for the whole trek; no suitcases, trolleys or duffel bags. Tell us at least 15 days before the trek. |
| Single tent occupancy | ₹1,000 + 5% GST | Your own tent for the night at camp |
| Free Trekking Gear deposit | ₹3,000, refundable | Plus ₹200 washing charge, not refundable |
On a 2-day trek with a 5 km first day, most trekkers carry their own pack and skip offloading. If you take it, you still carry a small daypack with water, snacks and a warm layer.
4. Getting to Dehradun from Delhi
The trek starts and ends in Dehradun, so your travel cost depends on how you get there. Fares change by season and class, so check the current fare before you book; these are the options our trekkers use.
| Option | Time | Fare, each way (approx.) | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overnight train (Nanda Devi Express) | About 6 hours | ₹300–1,300 depending on class | Arriving rested for the 6:30 am start |
| Day train (Shatabdi, Vande Bharat) | About 4.5–6 hours | ₹700–1,500 | Coming the evening before |
| Bus from ISBT Kashmere Gate | 6–7 hours | ₹400–1,200 (ordinary to Volvo) | Overnight travel, frequent departures |
| Flight to Jolly Grant | 1 hour + 25–30 km to the city | Varies widely | Trekkers from Mumbai, Bengaluru and beyond |
Book trains on IRCTC. Plan your return from Dehradun for late Sunday night or Monday morning; the group is back in the city by evening on Day 2.
5. The Delhi-to-Delhi total
| Item | Per person |
|---|---|
| Trek fee incl. GST | ₹4,016 |
| Delhi to Dehradun and back, train or bus | ₹800–2,600 |
| Shared cab Dehradun–Pantwari–Dehradun | Split among the group; fare confirmed by your coordinator |
| Meals on the drive, tea stops | ₹300–500 |
| Gear washing charge | ₹200 |
| Travel insurance (mandatory) | Varies by policy |
Leaving out the cab share and insurance, most trekkers spend between ₹5,300 and ₹7,300 for the whole weekend from Delhi, with the trek fee the largest single item. A Volvo bus each way and your own backpack keep it near the lower end.
6. Pay in instalments
Trekkaro offers card EMI through the payment gateway. On a 24-month plan the Nag Tibba fee works out to about ₹197 a month; shorter plans have higher instalments and less interest. The EMI options appear at checkout on the Nag Tibba trek page.
7. Cancellation
The cancellation policy is the same on every Trekkaro trek and is shown in full on the trek page and under Terms. Read it before you book a holiday-weekend batch, because Diwali, Christmas and New Year departures fill first and are the hardest to shift.
