Around Nanga Parbat trek

Overview

The Around Nanga Parbat trek is a captivating circular adventure in the Western Himalayan region of Pakistan. In recent times, it has gained popularity as a prime destination for mountaineering enthusiasts and trekkers from across the globe. This trek offers a comprehensive perspective to all lovers of mountains. Despite its name, the Around Nanga Parbat trek does not completely encircle the Nanga Parbat peak. It begins on the southern side of Nanga Parbat from Tarashing in the Rupal Valley, taking a path that goes halfway around the mountain. The route initially heads west through the Rupal Valley and then turns northward to traverse the challenging Mazeno La pass. After crossing Mazeno La, the journey leads to the enchanting Fairy Meadows.
