Camping beneath Nanga Parbat

Fairy Meadows is an alpine pasture facing the Raikot Face of Nanga Parbat, the world's ninth-highest mountain. Pine forest, open meadow and the mountain itself give this journey its focus.

Three Nights Beneath Nanga Parbat includes three nights at Fairy Meadows, in a lodge or camp. From Tattu village, a guided walk of about two to three hours through pine forest brings you to the meadows.

One day follows the route past Beyal towards Nanga Parbat Base Camp, with a picnic lunch facing the mountain. There is the option to continue to the viewpoint above base camp or turn at Beyal for a shorter day.

A free day leaves time for sunrise at the meadow lake, a ridge walk or simply sitting with the view. The journey finishes its mountain stay in Skardu before the return flight to Islamabad. Fairy Meadows journeys run from June to October.
