Here’s a quick view of how to plan your travel:
Book your air/train ticket to Delhi . From Delhi book a night bus/ Train to Deheradun. Our pickup service will pick you up from the railway station in Deheradun.
There are two options for your flight booking.
Option 1: Fly directly to Dehradun.
We recommend this. It gives you an added rest day at Dehradun. . If the cost of the flight ticket too high, book to Delhi and connect to Deheradun by bus.
Next, book yourself on a UTC/UPSRTC bus and connect to Deheradun by bus. They are fully AC Volvo buses that leave between 21.00 to 23.00 hrs from ISBT Kashmiri Gate and get to and connect to Rishikesh by bus between 3:00 to 5:00 am.
At Deheradun, wait for BNK Himalayan pick up at 6.00 am. Contact your driver by 5:30 am. The number of your transport coordinator will be shared with you a week before your departure.
3. Planning your return flight/train booking
Next, if your onward flight departs from Delhi, then book flight tickets for Day 7 or Day 8. Depending on the day you leave Dehradun/Rishikesh/Haldwani. Sometimes trekkers worry if they can book an early morning flight out of Delhi on Day 7. Yes, you can. But book flights that depart only after 8 am. Do not book any flight between 6.00 and 8 am. You may not reach Delhi in time.
How to get to Delhi on time for an early morning flight.
Take a bus from Rishikesh/Haldwani. It is about a 5½ – 6 hrs journey to Delhi. . So if you take a bus that leaves around 9.00 pm, then expect to reach Delhi at around 3.00 am (ISBT Kashmiri Gate/ISBT Anand Vihar). A bus that leaves at 10 pm will reach Delhi around 4.00 am. AC Volvo buses are the fastest, so opt for them. Non AC buses can take up to 7-8 hrs for the journey.
From ISBT Kashmiri Gate/ISBT Anand Vihar you get Airport buses or taxis.
Note: Metro trains in Delhi do not start before 6.00 am.
Documents
BNK Himalayan and the forest department require these documents for legal purposes. Without any of these, you will not be allowed to trek.
- Original and photocopy of identity card. Anything such as a driver’s license, Aadhar Card, or passport will do. This is required by the forest department for your identification.
- 1 passport size photograph. This is required to obtain the trekking permits
- Disclaimer certificate. This is a legal requirement. Download the PDF, read carefully and sign it. This must be handed over to your Trek Leader during the registration at the base camp – Download the PDF
- Medical certificate. There are two sections in this. The first part must be filled by a practising doctor. The second part must be filled by you. Without the medical certificate, the forest department will not issue permissions for your trek. It is also a requirement by BNK Himalayan
PRO TIPS
Keep important documents in a clear plastic cover and slide them into the inner pocket at the back of your backpack. This keeps them from getting wet.
Essential Items
1. Trekking Shoes
Valley of Nag Tibba requires sturdy trekking shoes, good grip, ankle support, and can handle snow.
Buying Tip: The Trek series and MH series are good options by Decathlon. They are tried and tested. There isn’t any necessity to buy the higher-priced models.
2. Backpack
For a Nag Tibba, you need a 50-60 litre backpack. Make sure your backpack has good hip support, shoulder support, and quick access pockets.
Buying Tip: Wildcraft, Decathlon, and Adventure Worx usually make good backpacks. While Wildcraft has more expensive ones, the other two brands have budget-friendly backpacks to choose from.
Mandatory Accessories Rainwear
On a trek, the weather can change quickly. A bright sunny day can turn into a downpour in a matter of minutes. Carry a poncho or a rain jacket to tackle this. A poncho is a big rain cover with openings for your arms and your head. It is extremely effective because it covers both you and (partially) your backpack. It is extremely light and weighs next to nothing.
Pro tip: Rain jackets are more streamlined and less cumbersome but weigh more. Rain pants are not required. Dry fit trek pants dry quickly even if soaking wet.
Rain cover for your backpack
Backpacks are your life. You carry all your dry clothes and your warm gear in your backpack. Your backpack must stay dry at all times. Modern backpacks usually come with built-in rain-covers. If your backpack does not have a rain cover, ensure you get a rain cover by either (a) buying a rain cover or (b) or cutting a large plastic sheet to the size of your backpack. You can roll the plastic sheet around your backpack and keep it in place with a string or elastic.
| Pro tip: It’s good practice to compartmentalize your clothes, accessories and other things in plastic covers inside your backpack. That way, even if it rains and your backpack gets wet, your things are water-proof inside the backpack.
Daypack (20-30 ltrs, optional)
Some trekkers opt to offload their bags to a mule on the Nag Tibba trek . In your daypack, you carry essentials like water bottles, rainwear, emergency medicines, a headlamp, some snacks, and a warm layer. Your main backpack that carries most of your equipment is accessible only at the campsites.
A daypack is a smaller backpack that is usually of 20-30 liter capacity. Laptop bags are not daypacks. Do not get them.
Other Mandatory Requirements
1. A toilet kit
Keep your toilet kit light. Carry just the basics — toothbrush, toothpaste, small soap, toilet tissue roll, a small moisturizer, lip balm, and a roll-on deodorant. You will not be able to have a bath on the trek, so don’t overload on soaps and shampoos.
Pro Tip: Carry miniature-sized items. You will not need more than that. If you’re travelling in a group, share one toothpaste for all.
Pro Tip: Avoid getting large toilet rolls. The smallest size roll is more than enough for a trek like Valley Of Flowers.
For Women: If you are likely to have your periods on your trek date, don’t worry about it. You can use your pads, tampons or menstrual cups on the trek. There will be toilet tents where you can get changed. Make sure you carry zip lock bags to bring back your menstrual waste. Don’t leave behind any waste in the mountains.
2. Cutlery
Carry a lunch box, a mug and a spoon. Your lunch box must be leakproof. You are expected to wash your cutlery. Trekkers often expect BNK Himalayan to wash their cutlery. When you allow BNK Himalayan to wash your cutlery, your cutlery becomes part of a mass washing system. You immediately invite germs, and bacteria to settle on your cutlery. The incidence of stomach disorders rises exponentially.
Pro Tip: Carry stainless steel cutlery. Avoid fancy high-grade plastic cutlery. Stainless steel cutlery is infinitely easier to wash in cold water. Grease is easier to remove and hygiene is at its highest.
Two 1-liter bottles or a 2-liter hydration pack: Valley Of Flowers has many hours of trekking every day (approximately 6 hours). You need to carry two one-liter water bottles to keep yourself hydrated over the distance. If you are used to a hydration pack, then that is ok too. If one among the two bottles is a lightweight thermos, then that helps you to store warm water on a really cold day or for late evenings and early mornings.
3. Plastic Covers
Carry 3-4 old plastic covers to keep your used clothes. You could use them even for wet clothes. Re-use old plastic bags for this and do not buy new ones.
