Trip Overview
Nanga Parbat (8125m), the world’s ninth- highest peak and the second-highest of Pakistan’s five 8000m peaks, is the westernmost peak of the Great Himalayan range. With a 20km long series of peaks and ridges, Nanga Parbat forms a huge massif. Its solitary white appearance, visible from the south for at least 100km, prompted its name, which means `naked mountain’ in Urdu. It’s also known as the ‘Killer Mountain’ because of the difficulties mountaineers have in reaching its summit.
Beside the glaciers there are pine and fir forests, sparkling streams and open grasslands that have enchanted visitors and prompted the name Fairy Meadow. The view of Nanga Parbat from the Indus River is one of the most awesome sights in the world. This largest land escarpment in the world consists of a rise of about 7000 m. from the base of the mountain to its summit. On the other side of Nanga we have the famous Rupal Face; the tallest wall in the world with a sheer 4500m cliff. It has three main faces known as Rupal, Diamer and Raikot, which are totally different in appearance and shape and their routes start from different valleys.
Rupal Face journey starts from Gilgit or Karakoram Highway (KKH) to Tarashing, a green alpine village at the head of the jeep track. It takes another two days to arrive at Rupal base camp.
Diamer base camp the track is the most lengthy as it needs three days to reach.
Raikot, where we go up to Raikot Bridge on KKH to switch over to local jeeps for Jhel, a small place in Tato Valley at the foot of Fairy Meadows. This program includes a visit to all three faces crossing high passes en route making it Around Nanga Parbat Trek.
Around Nanga Parbat trek runs through the enchanting lands of Western finger of great Himalayas replete with alpine meadows, lofty pinnacles, dense forests and strangely fantastic forms of landscape that qualify it as a best trekking route in Pakistan. This Three weeks adventure makes a circuit of the 8125m Nanga Parbat. This only Himalayan peak in Pakistan offers the grandest spectacle from distance but we will have breathtaking close-ups of its ‘hundred faces’ during this tour.
Starting with an easy to moderate walking of two to four hours daily along the lateral moraines and flat green pastures, we will cross the Mazeno Pass, which is the strenuous and sensational climax of this adventure as it is a technical endeavor where ropes are fixed on steep pitches we end up in Fairy Meadows.
