Day 1

Jour 1 : Islamabad

Islamabad-Gilgit-Fairy Meadows 

After early morning breakfast the group will depart for Gilgit via domestic flight at 8:00am in the morning, it is an hour flight from Islamabad to Gilgit. Upon arrival at Gilgit at around 9:30am, the group will then depart for Raikot bridge which is in approximate one-hour drive from Gilgit. From Raikot bridge it is one and half hour jeep track till Tatoo village from where it would be approximately two hours of trekking to Fairy Meadows. There are horses available on rent if the members wish to go by horses. After reaching Fairy Meadows, the group will have lunch and then free time for sightseeing and photography. The group will go to reflecting lake for photography. The magical view of Fairy Meadow is healing for the soul. A bonfire and traditional dance on local music will be arranged for the group at night right after dinner, if the group wishes they can ask for BBQ but it is not included in the package. Fairy Meadows, named by German climbers (German Merchandise, ″fairy tale meadows″) and locally known as Joot, is a grassland near one of the base camp sites of the Nanga Parbat, located in Diamer District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. At an altitude of about 3,300 meters above the sea level, it serves as the launching point for trekkers summiting on the Rakhiot face of the Nanga Parbat. Fairy Meadows is like the bouquet of flowers set before the towering killer mountain, Nanga Parbat. The mountain sets a backdrop for the Fairy Meadows, making it an appealing and exciting destination for tourists. Fairy Meadows are where the legends of Nanga Parbat are kept alive.

Fairy Meadows – Rama Meadows 

After breakfast the group will depart for Raikot bridge which will take an approximate 03 hours and then will leave for Rama Valley. Situated in Astore in Gilgit-Baltistan, Rama Valley is considered as one of the most beautiful valleys in Pakistan. Featuring flowing green meadows, striking trees and blooms, a pristine lake, mountain vistas and a tranquil ambiance, you will find Rama Meadows to be a picture-perfect destination. It is about 3300 meters (10800 feet) above sea level and thus is snow covered for 7–8 months of the year. In summer, it becomes lush green; conditions favored by local shepherds. From here one can trek to east side of the Nanga Parbat (also known as the Killer Mountain), the world's 9th highest mountain. From Raikot bridge it’s another two hours’ drive to reach Astore Bazar. Astore is a small city and the central location of Astore district. A road from the bazaar takes you to Rama village in an average of twenty minutes time, and right after this village is a beautiful and serene plain called Rama Meadow. It is 11 kilometers from Astore and accessible by jeep. Women working in potato fields, happy children, and a scented atmosphere are the characteristics that define what we call, Rama village. From Rama Meadow, a jeep road turns to Rama lake. You may miss the lake at first sight, but it is a fun ride up till here with Nanga Parbat in front and the forests alongside creating a strange sensation. There will be lunch and enough time for sightseeing, photography and nature walk.

Deosai has a deafening silence, a silence spanning over centuries. The silence is so deep that one can hear his own heartbeat, unless a marmot’s whistle fills the valley, clouds so low that one can almost touch them, Himalayan Golden eagles flying between the clouds, and a strange fragrance in the atmosphere which probably is a mixture of brown bears, red foxes, white tigers, and naughty marmots. The group will first come to Astore Bazar and then move forward for Deosai plain. It is an approximately four hours’ drive but with full of excitement and thrill through gorgeous valleys. After spending 3-4 hours at Deosai, the group will depart for Rama Meadow for dinner and overnight stay.
