A Himalayan Challenge
Xplore The Dreams (XTD) welcomes you to the grand Deo Tibba Peak Expedition — a 13-day adventure that takes you deep into the heart of the Pir Panjal range of Himachal Pradesh. Rising at an altitude of 19,700 ft, this peak stands as the second-highest mountain in the range and offers an unforgettable mountaineering experience.
The Deo Tibba expedition is a perfect blend of thrill and beauty. Beginning from Manali, the route passes through Jagatsukh village, serene forests of birch and pine, colorful alpine meadows, and vast glaciers that sparkle under the summer sun. Each campsite reveals a new shade of Himachal’s landscape — raw, untouched, and breathtaking.
Why Choose Deo Tibba Peak Expedition?
Unlike pointed Himalayan peaks, Deo Tibba’s summit features a massive snow dome — a surreal sight for trekkers and climbers alike. The trail not only challenges your endurance but also rewards you with panoramic views of Mt. Indrasan, Norbu Peak, and Jagatsukh Peak. It’s one of those rare climbs where beauty and challenge walk hand in hand.
