Everything you need to know about the hike to Nanga Parbat base camp.
Fairy Meadows, locally known as Joot, is a grassland near one of the base camp sites of the Nanga Parbat, located in Diamer District, Gilgit-Baltistan.
The Journey
It starts with a thrilling (and terrifying) jeep ride from Raikot Bridge to Tato Village. From Tato, it is a 3-4 hour hike. The trail is moderate but gains altitude, so take it slow.
Accommodation
You can rent wooden cabins or camp in tents under the Billion Star Hotel (the clear night sky).
The View
Waking up to the reflection of the Killer Mountain (Nanga Parbat) in the small lake at Fairy Meadows is a memory that will stay with you forever.
