Keen for a perilous ride along with one of the most dangerous roads on the planet? How about breathtaking views of one of the world’s top ten biggest mountains? Well then perhaps Fairy Meadows should be on your radar — it’s hiking and adventure all wrapped up in one trip!
Fairy Meadows is one of the most popular nature destinations in Pakistan, and rightly so. This beautiful alpine meadow is set with an impressive backdrop — the mighty Nanga Parbat — 9th highest mountain in the world. And it is Nanga Parbat that most people come to see.
Standing tall at 8,126 metres Nanga Parbat is located in the north of Pakistan at the westernmost end of the Himalayas. It is the second-highest mountain in Pakistan after K2. It is huge, majestic, and an impressive sight to behold close up.
Nanga Parbat is known to be notoriously difficult and dangerous to climb. It has claimed the lives of many mountaineers over the years, leading to its nickname Killer Mountain.
Fortunately for those of us who are more into hiking than mountaineering, it is relatively easy to get to the base camp on the northern side of Nanga Parbat. There you can soak in dramatic views of both the Raikot Glacier and Nanga Parbat’s northern face.
In this guide, I provide all the info you need for a trip to Fairy Meadows, as well as the day hike that takes you from Fairy Meadows to Nanga Parbat Base Camp.
Many visitors stop at Fairy Meadows and do not venture further. However, the day hike from Fairy Meadows to Nanga Parbat Base Camp is well worth it. The views along the trail are stunning and Nanga Parbat’s northern face is all the more impressive close-up.
In short… this mountain is EPIC!
