Fairy Meadow & Nanga Parbat Basecamp Trek

"This iconic five-day trek takes you to the legendary Fairy Meadows, offering one of the most famous views in the world: the north face of Nanga Parbat, the 'Killer Mountain.' The journey begins with a drive through the scenic Naran Kaghan valley and over the high Babusar Top. From Raikot Bridge, a thrilling jeep ride leads to Taito, followed by a trek or horse ride into the lush, pine-fringed meadows. The itinerary includes an overnight at Bayal Camp to bring trekkers even closer to the massive Rakhiot Glacier. Reaching the Nanga Parbat Basecamp is the pinnacle of the trip, where the sheer scale of the 8,126-meter peak becomes truly humbling. This trek is a must-do for any adventurer visiting Pakistan, combining high-altitude drama with the comfort of cozy resorts like The Amber Resort."
