Deo Tibba Base Trek
Trek Overview
This trek takes you through changing landscapes and offers opportunities to meet warm and hospitable locals along the way. One of the most mesmerizing sights is the crescent-shaped Chandratal (Moon Lake), nestled in a glacial bowl. Deo Tibba, a majestic peak in the Pir Panjal Range of Himachal Pradesh, is believed in local legend to be a gathering place of the gods — hence the name Deo (Gods) Tibba (Hill). The emerald blue Chota Chandratal lake at the base is one of the major highlights of this trek. Trekkers pass through remote valleys, villages, and grazing pastures of Gaddi shepherds. The trail offers splendid views of snow-capped peaks like Deo Tibba (6001m), Norbu Peak (5226m), and Jagatsukh Peak (5050m), making it a memorable journey for nature lovers.
