Pine forests, wooden cabins and the 'Killer Mountain' at your doorstep — the most beautiful short trek in Pakistan.
Overview
The journey
Fairy Meadows is a high alpine pasture facing the north face of Nanga Parbat, the ninth-highest mountain on Earth. The approach — a thrilling jeep track from Raikot Bridge and a short hike through forest — is part of the adventure.
We stay in cosy cabins at Fairy Meadows, then trek to Beyal Camp and on to Nanga Parbat Base Camp on the Raikot side, with views across the glacier to the mountain's colossal face.
