Nanga parbat

Nanga parbat Expedition

"Embark on an incredible Nanga Parbat Expedition, an adventure to conquer the ninth highest mountain in the world and the second highest peak in Pakistan. Our journey begins with a scenic drive from Islamabad to Chilas, following the legendary Karakoram Highway. From there, we'll continue our voyage with a convoy of four jeeps that will transport us to the picturesque Tarashing or Tato villages, where we'll start our trekking adventure.

Camping under the awe-inspiring Nanga Parbat is an experience that words can hardly capture – it's like a scene from a fairy tale. During our expedition, we'll have ample time to explore the base camp and take in the breathtaking panoramic views from various vantage points.

The next leg of our adventure centers around Karimabad, the vibrant capital of Hunza, known for its charm and allure. Here, we'll have the flexibility to choose our hiking routes and excursions to witness a range of incredible sights, including the lively bazaars of Gilgit and the mesmerizing Utar Icefall.

Our treks will lead us along well-established trails, with a visit to the enchanting Fairy Meadows offering a relatively gentle walk. However, the optional journey to the Nanga Parbat base camp will be a full-day endeavor, requiring a bit more effort and time. Similarly, another challenging trek awaits us as we ascend above Karimabad to reach the meadows beneath Ultar. Although it's a steep climb, we'll have plenty of opportunities to rest and soak in the stunning scenery along the way."
