Fairy Meadows and Nanga Parbat Base Camp

• Difficulty: Medium
• Duration: 2 days
• Region: Diamer, Gilgit Baltistan

It’s a truly amazing place. It’s not just the name that’s mythical, the place itself is magical. I’ve been to The Fairy Meadows in February (very challenging as there was waist-deep snow in places) and August and September. If you go at the right time of the year, i.e. when it’s not covered in snow, you can push on to Nanga Parbat Basecamp – an 8 hour round trip hike. Trekking to the Fairy Meadows itself is pretty easy and can be done in a couple of hours, the true challenge lies in the long but rewarding hike to Nanga Parbat Base Camp, where you can get SICK views of the 9th highest mountain in the world.
