This time we invite you to experience one of the most magical places in Asia - meeting point of the highest mountain ranges in the world: Karakoram, Himalayas and the Hindu Kush. We will travel along the Indus River on Karakoram Highway, with all the beauty of its deep gorges and dramatic views. We will trek to the base camp of 9th highest mountain of the world through the glaciers flowing down from the soaring peaks, passing remote valleys of the three highest mountain ranges of the world.
The reputation of the 8th wonder of the world called FAIRY MEADOWS comes from the pristine valley at the foot of 8,125 meter Nanga Parbat, known as the meeting place of fairies. This is the western end of the Himalayan range, where Karakoram & Hindu Kush meet together.
The Raikot face of Nanga Parbat offers an excellent area for the beginners. Our trip is planned in a way to be accessible for everyone. Those who prefer a quiet relaxing day could stay at camp and get mesmerized by the surrounding views.
