All destinations

Fairy Meadows sits at 3,300 m below the Raikot Face of Nanga Parbat, reached by a famous jeep track and a short walk through pine forest. Wooden cabins, starry nights and a sunrise view of the mountain make it a favourite first trek in Pakistan.

On the far side, the Rupal Valley in Astore faces the Rupal Face — the tallest mountain wall in the world — on a quieter, wilder trek.
