Flora of Nag Tibba Trek

Nag Tibba Trek which lies in the Lower Himalayan Range near Mussoorie, is a good weekend hike for anyone wanting to take a breather from their daily routine. The trek offers gentle slopes making it an ideal option for people looking to do their first Himalayan Trek. The trek begins from a small hamlet which goes by the name of Pantwari. The circular itinerary that ends at the village of Auntar is short, yet extremely rewarding. Walking through the dense forest on the Auntar side is a treat every hiker is bound to cherish.

One of the many highlights of this trek is the variety of flora found here. Often we get so engrossed in the beauty of the trek that the trees & bushes that we come across go unnoticed. To honour and celebrate these beauties, we are listing 27 of the most commonly found trees here with some of their common uses that make them a vital part of everyday living for the locals in the region.

 

1. भीमल (Bhimal) : Used for feeding cattle. Also used in making Ropes & Mattress.
