Dehradun is the gateway to the Garhwal Himalayas. If you have a weekend to spare, you don't need to fly to Ladakh. Adventure is just a drive away.
1. Nag Tibba (The Serpent’s Peak)
Distance from Dehradun: ~85 km
Duration: 2 Days
It is the highest peak in the lesser Himalayas of the Garhwal region. You can see the Bandarpoonch peak, the Gangotri group of peaks, and Kedarnath peak from the top.
2. Chakrata & Tiger Falls
While more of a camping trip than a hardcore trek, the hike down to Tiger Falls is rejuvenating. It’s perfect for families and groups of friends.
3. George Everest Peak
Located near Mussoorie, this is a short day hike perfect for a Sunday morning. The panoramic view of the Doon Valley on one side and the Himalayas on the other is unmatched.
Why Weekend Treks?
They fit your schedule, require less planning, and are budget-friendly. It’s the perfect antidote to Monday blues.
