Introduction:

The Deo Tibba walk allows you to see the splendour of snow-capped mountains such as Deo Tibba, Jagatsukh Peak, and Norbu Peak.

The Deo Tibbe walk begins in Manali and ends in Kullu valley. DeoTibba is a technical mountain excursion that should only be attempted by experienced trekkers with technical understanding. The walk is not suitable for novice hikers. Deo Tibba walk offers breathtaking views of nature and alpine scenery.

Deo Tibba is a scenic hike located at 6000 metres above sea level in the PirPanjal Range of Himalayan Mountains in Himachal Pradesh’s Kullu District. This hiking track winds through rich green forests of pine, fir, spruce, oak, and silver birches, all set against stunning scenery.

The Deo Tibba Trekking adventure includes traversing an icy mountain and ascending a steep slope to a glacier with a jagged moraine that requires fixed ropes to securely traverse. The famed Chandratal Lake is located at the base of the Deo Tibba hill, which is the trek’s major feature.

It is a moderate to challenging hike in Himachal Pradesh that traverses through numerous rural valleys and villages, including Jogidugh, Panduropa, Setan, and Hampta Pass, on its route to Deo Tibba Base Camp.

When is the best time to go on the Deo Tibba Trek?

May, June, September, and October are the best months to visit Deo Tibba hike.  We recommend that you avoid trekking here during the monsoon season because the area experiences severe rainfall, which causes blockages, landslides, and makes the trekking route slippery.
