My trip to Nag Tibba

`Hey guys! Today I am going to tell you about my first trekking trip! We went from Jaipur in the month of March 19, I’m a 9 years old girl and went there with my dad. We went from Jaipur to Dehradun by flight, Dehradun to Pantwari by scooter (access 125), and then on foot! We spent two days trekking.

My dad didn’t want to take a package tour, because he said that takes away the adventure, so we did most of the work and preparations ourselves. It means we carried our own tent, food and other necessary supplies. Although we took some items on rent at Pantwari. Details follow!

So let’s start :)

Planning

We started to plan about the trekking trip in February 2019. We read about the mountains, and various options, and decided on nag tibba because everyone said it is a easy trek for children. We read some blogs. Here are some of the interesting ones, thank you the authors for the great help:

We realized that if we go on or before march, we will find snow! Also, since I never seen snow before, I was very excited!

We also found out the preparations needed, from the blogs.

We also downloaded offline google maps, so we can find directions even when we don’t get a mobile signal! This is the page where the author has given the google maps file for the whole trek route:

Also, to make our plane trip from Jaipur to Dehradun interesting, we downloaded the app “Flyover Country”, which shows where we are flying, and also shows interesting information of the ground below. It also shows us how high and how fast we are flying! It doesn’t need any mobile signal to work; the GPS works even without mobile signal! Give it a go on your next trip:

The travel day!

It was 15th March 2019. We woke up at 4:00 am, had some light breakfast, and started our trip at 5:00 am. We went to airport with our scooter. We parked our scooter there, and entered the airport!

Then we scanned our bags in X-ray. Then we checked in our bags. we got our boarding passes.

Our gate was M1, and we travelled with a Spicejet flight. The lady on the door was very kind and sweet, she greeted us and welcomed us on-board. Then we jumped in Spicejet plane. it was lot of fun when we sat in that plane. It had large fans on its sides. Dad tells me they are called propellers. Which help the plane to fly over. I travelled in such a plane for the first time. We met a little kid too.

Then we flew down in Deharadun we had a cab which dropped us to the scooter rental shop. We had a scooter on rent.

We started at 9AM after a breakfast which our mother packed with us. It was a curvy road. It was a lot of fun! We saw beautiful hills and reached Mussourie. We drove a long way on the curvy road after Mussorie to Pantwari. Someway later, we got confused if we are on the right route to pantwari. A lady guided us that it is after nain baag. Finally we reached pantwari at 3PM. There were many goats.We rented sleeping bag, raincoats, matress and blankets from Mr chouhan.

It was about 2 hr of trekking from Pantwari village, and finally we reached to a very beautiful place which was our base camp.

Please dont climb when you have eaten food and dont touch Bichu grass it hurts a lot.Then we reached the base camp of the mountain.It was night,we saw the sunset.After,we lighted the camp fire, we had aloo and mutter. Then we fell asleep.We woke up next day to a very beautiful morning.
