4 Days Fairy Meadows & Nanga Parbat Trek
4 days / 3 nightsIslamabad – Chilas – Raikot Bridge – Tato – Fairy Meadows – Beyal – IslamabadMax 12 peopleMay to October onlyModerateMax altitude 3,500 m at the Nanga Parbat viewpoint
The jeep track, the walk up, and a full day facing the ninth-highest mountain on earth.
Overview
Four days to stand at the foot of the ninth-highest mountain on earth. This trip includes the jeep track from Raikot Bridge to Tato — one of the more dramatic mountain roads in Pakistan — and a three to four kilometre uphill walk to Fairy Meadows, followed by a full-day hike to Beyal Camp and the Nanga Parbat viewpoint.
Read the notes on this page properly before you book. The jeep track is narrow and exposed. The walk cannot be skipped. Accommodation is wooden huts with shared bathrooms. There is no mobile signal. Nights are cold even in July.
If all of that is fine with you, this is the best four days we sell. Groups are capped at twelve.

- The Raikot Bridge to Tato jeep track

Frequently asked questions
How hard is the walk to Fairy Meadows?
Three to four kilometres, uphill, about two hours at an easy pace with a daypack. It is a walk, not a climb, but there is no vehicle access and it cannot be skipped.
Can I hire a porter or a horse?
Yes, at Tato. The going rate is roughly PKR 2,500–4,000 depending on load and season. It is not included in the package and we publish the rate here rather than surprising you at the trailhead.
Is the jeep track dangerous?
It is narrow, unpaved and exposed, and it is the part people remember. The drivers are local specialists who run it daily. Anyone with a serious fear of heights should think carefully.
What is the accommodation actually like?
Wooden huts and permanent tents with shared bathrooms, limited hot water and electricity for a few hours in the evening. Basic and clean. It is not a hotel.
Is there mobile signal?
None at Fairy Meadows. Tell your family before you go.
Who should not book this?
Children under 8, anyone with knee or heart conditions, and anyone who cannot walk uphill for two hours. We would rather say so now than at Tato.
How cold does it get?
Near freezing at night even in July, at 3,300 m. Bring a proper jacket, warm layers and a hat. Sleeping bags are available to hire if you do not have one.
