Fairy Meadows

Discover the Majesty of the Western Himalayas & Karakoram – An Unforgettable PMC Adventure

Embark on a breathtaking journey through some of the most stunning landscapes in the world, as this trip takes you deep into the heart of the Western Himalayas and along the legendary Karakoram mountain range. Experience the awe-inspiring views of Pakistan’s most iconic peaks including Nanga Parbat (8126m) – the “Killer Mountain”, Rakaposhi (7788m), Diran (7266m), Golden Peak (7027m), Ultar (7388m), Lady Finger, and Passu Peak (7278m).

Traveling on the Karakoram Highway is an adventure in itself—one that winds through three colossal mountain ranges: the Karakoram, Himalayas, and Hindukush, tracing the ancient Silk Road along the mighty rivers of Indus, Gilgit, and Hunza.

Tour Highlights:

• Fairy Meadows & Nanga Parbat Base Camp:
  Discover one of the most beautiful alpine meadows in the world, locally believed to be the abode of fairies. Located at 3300m, Fairy Meadows offers surreal views of Nanga Parbat, surrounded by lush greenery and serenity that feels like “Heaven on Earth”. The trek to the base camp is one of the easiest routes to an 8000m peak and rewards you with close-up views of Raikot Peak (7070m) and its surrounding glacier-fed torrents.

• Rakaposhi Base Camp Trek:
  Starting from the quaint village of Minapin in Hunza, this short but stunning trek takes you to the base camp of the majestic Rakaposhi and nearby Diran Peak. Enjoy a peaceful night at Tagafari, a summer pasture once used as a polo ground. The trail also leads towards the Diran Peak Base Camp, making it an ideal twin-trek for adventure seekers.

  Along the journey, you’ll pass through traditional mountain villages where ancient farming methods, rich cultures, and warm hospitality remain preserved. Every day reveals new sights and experiences—from vibrant bazaars and suspension bridges to centuries-old forts and glacial lakes
