Nanga Parbat Base Camp Trek – 9 Days is an exciting trekking adventure to the depths of Western Himalaya, Pakistan. Nicknamed “Killer Mountain,” Nanga Parbat reaches up to the height of 8,126 meters and is the 9th highest mountain in the world. This is your chance to experience the massive glaciers, valleys, and mountains of this legendary mountain without participating in a climbing expedition.
This trekking route will take you through the picturesque Fairy Meadows and Beyal Camp with breathtaking views of the Nanga Parbat mountain. Further down the way, trekkers get closer to the Nanga Parbat Base Camp and can see its huge Rupal face along with amazing mountain landscapes that surround it.
During your trekking, you will be able to enjoy the mountain forests and meadows, glacial landscapes, rocky paths, and fantastic panoramic views of the Nanga Parbat. All these elements, along with easy trekking stages, make this adventure truly memorable and suitable for people who want to enjoy the unique Himalayas.
The trekking will require good physical form from its participants as there are a few days of trekking at the mountains.

A few kilometers after Fairy Meadows, there is a second campsite called Beyal, where it is much quieter and has even better views than the previous camp. After Beyal, the trail gets tougher, although more rewarding. From an alpine forest, the way becomes an arid but impressive landscape, surrounded by snow and ice blocks.

Participants will trek back to Fairy Meadows on this day and have the whole day to themselves upon reaching fairy meadows. You can fill in your journals, sketch, paint, rest or take photographs of the killer mountain during different times of the day. Sunrises, sunsets and full moons are amazing at fairy meadows.
The guests will depart back to Besham or Naran (depending on weather and other variables) from Fairy Meadows. If we take the road to Besham, we drive through Chilas and Dassu travelling along Indus river on Karakoram Highway. However, we will try to return to Islamabad via Naran road. This will give our guests the opportunity to explore additional locations.
On this day the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad will be explored, both of which are distinct. Islamabad is a modern capital city, great for sightseeing while Rawalpindi is a historic city built in British era with intricate bazaars and bustling streets.
