Deo Tibba Expedition

Deo Tibba Expedition is a mountain in the Pir Panjal Range of Himalayan Mountains in Kullu District, Himachal Pradesh, India. At a height of 6,001 meters, it is a popular trekking destination among enthusiastic trekkers. The peak is distinctive in how the summit is a snow dome, similar to an ice cap, with a flat summit plateau rather than a pointed ridge. Per the local legend, Deo Tibba is a gathering place for the gods. According to Hindu mythology, the dome-shaped peak of Deo Tibba is where the gods sit, hence the names Deo (Gods) and Tibba (Hill).

The trek is strenuous, and it aims to cross many experienced hikers’ “To Do” list. Climbers will face difficult terrain on their way to the peak’s summit, including steep ice passes, crevassed glaciers, a rock fall area, and a ridge. Owning to its difficulty this trek only invites trekkers with valid experiences.
