4 Days Max 3,900m (Beyal Camp viewpoint)Moderate Raikot Bridge / Fairy Meadows 4.9 · 56 reviews
Fairy Meadows is Pakistan's most famous short trek, a jeep ride and a scenic walk deliver you to an alpine meadow with a jaw dropping, close up view of Nanga Parbat (8,126m), the world's ninth highest mountain. It's accessible enough for moderately fit travelers, families and first time trekkers, yet the mountain views rival any expedition grade trek in Pakistan.
