At the foothills of the Garhwal Himalayan ranges, north east of Mussoorie, nagtibba is at an altitude of n3048 Mts.

This place is situated on a daddle and at sunrise it is a beautiful sight to watch the sun peeping from behind the mountains. From Morina dhar the trek is on a ridge, most of the time parallel to the Garhwal Himalayan ranges from Swargarohini to Nandadevi. This part of the trek is very rich in flora and fauna.

Since most of peaks of the Garhwal Himalayans are difficult to scale in the winter, a climb to a mini peak, Chandrashila, in Chamoli district is arranged by Shri Raghavendra Tours and GMVN. This includes scaling, Skiing and trekking a route of rich flora and fauna, lakes and meadows full of fresh snow during winter.

The glassy slopes, which are covered with snow, make it an ideal ski course.
