Sample Itinerary
Day 01
The trek for Nanga
Parbat starts from
the Raikot Bridge,
about 45 miles south
of Gilgit. The
journey will
commence early
morning from
Rawalpindi by bus
via Karakoram
Highway. We will
reach the bridge by
the evening. A
two-day walk from
there will enable us
to reach fairy
Meadows.
Day 02
Toughest day of the
trek - this day
requires a steep
climb of over 3,000
feet with added
disadvantages of no
shade or water. The
terrain is not
difficult or
dangerous but tiring
and strenuous.
Day 03
Continuing the
journey to Fairy
Meadows, the walk is
fairly tiring, but
now the surroundings
offer a great deal
of pleasure. True to
its name, fairy
meadows hold lush
green meadows,
gushing crystal
clear spring water
and towering pine
trees which
generously provide
cool shade. Above
all, the majestic
Nanga Parbat - "the
naked mountain"
stands tall and
proud for you to
behold. This sight
is enough to drive
away the tiredness
of many a weary
trekker.
Day 04
The trek to the
Behal Camp is an
easy and pleasant
three mile walk. The
rest of the day is
spent relaxing.
Day 05
We take a one day
trip to the base of
Nanga Parbat and
return to Behal
Camp.
Day 06 - 09
Commence return
journey via same
route, camping at
same sites.
