Known as the ‘’Killer Mountain’’ Nanga Parbat (8126 m) is the 9th highest peak in the world, and perhaps the most challenging. Anchoring the western end of the Himalaya Range, Nanga Parbat was first climbed in 1953 by Herman Buhl. The flowing trek will take you to this magnificent mountain.
Fairy Meadows, so named because of local superstition that fairies inhabit this spectacularly forested alpine meadow, is a wonderful setting from where to explore Nanga Parbat. One will drive from Gilgit to Tato and from there walk a few hours to Fairy Meadows.
Shepherd huts are scattered around the area, and clear water is plentiful, coupled with the pine forest and the looming north face of Nanga Parbat, one can readily believe that fairies really do live in this alpine meadows. The next day excursion will lead you to the base camp of this trek, where is the German memorial to those killed in the 1937 expedition, and to the foot of Jiliper Peak.
