In Chilas, explore the world-famous petroglyphs, ancient rock carvings left by Buddhist Monks. Spend the night at the hotel. The driving time is approximately 12-14 hours.
Departing from Chilas, we proceed to Raikot Bridge, where we transfer to local jeeps for a scenic two-hour ride to Tatto, the starting point of the three-hour trek to Fairy Meadows. Situated in the backdrop of Nanga Parbat, the world's ninth highest peak, Fairy Meadows awaits. Upon arrival, settle into the lodge or tented camp for an overnight stay.
Following breakfast, commence your trek towards the Nanga Parbat base camp. Today's hike spans 6-8 hours, leading you through verdant green meadows and serene pine forests. After approximately two hours of walking, you'll arrive at Beyal Camp, where you can savor a cup of tea while admiring the stunning vista of Nanga Parbat.
