The jeep track, the walk up, and a full day facing the ninth-highest mountain on earth.
Fairy Meadows is a grass shelf at 3,300 m looking directly at the Rakhiot face of Nanga Parbat, the ninth-highest mountain on earth. There is no road to it. You leave the Karakoram Highway at Raikot Bridge, take a jeep up one of the more exposed mountain tracks in Pakistan to Tato, and then walk three to four kilometres uphill.
That walk is the whole point and also the thing most operators do not mention. It takes most people about two hours with a daypack. Porters and horses are available at Tato and we quote the rate honestly rather than springing it on you at the trailhead.
From the meadows, the full-day hike to Beyal Camp and the Nanga Parbat viewpoint is what you came for — roughly 12 to 14 km round trip with the mountain in front of you the whole way. Accommodation is wooden huts and tents with shared bathrooms. It is basic, it is cold at night even in July, and it is the best night's view in the country.
Three to four kilometres, uphill, about two hours at an easy pace. It is a walk, not a climb, but it cannot be skipped and there is no vehicle access. Horses and porters are available at Tato at a published rate.
It is narrow, unpaved and exposed, and it is the reason some people choose not to come. The drivers are local specialists who do this route daily. If anyone in your group has a serious fear of heights, they should know before booking.
Wooden huts and permanent tents with shared bathrooms and limited hot water. There is electricity for a few hours in the evening. The photos on this page are of the actual huts we use, not a stock image of a resort.
No. None. Tell your family you will be out of contact for a night or two.
Children under 8, anyone with knee or heart conditions, and anyone who cannot walk uphill for two hours. We would rather tell you now than at Tato.
