Join us on this journey of a lifetime and create memories that will last forever.
The itinerary was created by combining three quick yet well-known hikes in the Western and Karakorum Himalayas. The Raikot Face of Nanga Parbat is reached in the first section through Fairy Meadows after a rather easy climb. The alpine meadow is more beautiful than its name suggests. Nanga Parbat can be seen from Fairy Meadow, which is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. People are so enthralled by the expansive landscape that they don’t want to leave the camp and want to stay there forever.
The good short trek from Minapin village to Rakaposhi Base Camp, also known locally as Tagaphari, makes up the second portion of the adventure trip and is a great way to get started with trekking in the Karakoram Mountains. The hike is simple to reach from KKH, follows an excellent trail, provides panoramic views of Rakaposhi and Diran, and is the usual path to the base camps of both summits. After a 30-minute ascent from Tagaphari, the top of a ridge offers spectacular views of the north’s Batura, Passu, Shishpar, and Ultar summits, as well as the south’s Rakaposhi and Diran Peaks, the Minapin Glacier, and other peaks.
Rash Phari translates to “shiny Lake.” It is one of the treks that people most often advise doing if they want a thrilling first-time experience. On glaciers, through settlements to learn about the everyday lives of those who live at the foot of powerful glaciers, and along irrigated terraced fields with a stunning view of the Karakoram Mountains from Rush Peak, we walk (5098 Meters).
