Fairy Meadows

Fairy Meadows & Raikot Base Camp Tour

North Face aka Raikot Face of Nanga Parbat is the route of the first ascent of the Killer Mountain in 1953 by Austrian Herman Buhl.
Start of October in particular, is probably the best time to visit Fairy Meadows where the Birch trees are all set to shed their leaves in a bid to welcome the autumn.

The valley turns into sprightly colors of red, orange and yellow and the warmth of the October sun casts its magical spell on the nerves of the weary travelers and explorers. Also this is the time of the year when most of the domestic tourists have retreated back to cities, providing peace and tranquility
to this picturesque place.

Explorers will get a chance to learn about Glaciology, orogenic (Mountain building) movements, climbing history of Nanga Parbat, wildlife, Geology of the area through our seasoned explorers.
