Two nights at Fairy Meadows, under the north face of Nanga Parbat

The road ends at Raikot Bridge. From there a jeep climbs one of the most dramatic tracks in the country to Tato, and we walk the last three hours up to Fairy Meadows.

We stay two nights in wooden cabins on the meadow. The full day is a walk towards Beyal Camp and the Nanga Parbat base camp viewpoint, with the mountain in front of you all the way.

Who this trip is for

  • Fit travellers who enjoy a few hours of uphill walking
  • Friends and couples looking for a real adventure
  • Photographers: the morning light on Nanga Parbat is famous

Who it may not suit

  • Anyone who can’t walk uphill for 3 to 4 hours at altitude
  • Travellers who are nervous on steep, narrow jeep tracks
  • Young children and older parents with limited mobility

What you’ll see along the way

  • Wooden huts dot the green meadow and pine forest of Fairy Meadows, with a stream in front and cloud-wrapped Nanga Parbat behind.

Questions people ask before booking

How hard is the walk?
From Tato it is about three hours uphill on a well-used path, then the next day five to six hours there and back towards the base camp viewpoint. You need to be comfortable walking uphill for a few hours; porters can carry your bag.
What is the jeep track from Raikot like?
Narrow and steep, with long drops, on a track built into the mountainside. Local drivers do it every day, but if you are very nervous of heights, talk to us before you book.
Will the altitude affect me?
Fairy Meadows is about 3,300 m. Most travellers feel only a little breathless on the walk up. Drink water, take it slowly, and tell us about any heart or breathing conditions before you book.
How do payment and the advance work?
Pay a 30% advance to confirm your seats, by cash or bank transfer. The balance is due 7 days before departure. You get a receipt on WhatsApp for every payment.
What is the cancellation and refund policy?
Cancel 14 or more days before departure for a full refund of your advance. Between 7 and 13 days, 50% is refunded. Within 7 days the advance is non-refundable. If we cancel a departure, you get a full refund or a free move to another date.
Can we travel with children?
Yes. Children aged 5 and over count as travellers; younger children share their parents’ room free. Tell us their ages when you book and we’ll plan the stops around them.
