  • Car

    From Nanga Parbat Base Camp, start your journey towards Raikot Bridge by taking the road that leads south from the camp. This is about a 30-minute drive, covering approximately 18 kilometers. The road can be rough, so a 4x4 vehicle is recommended. Once you reach Raikot Bridge, park your car and prepare for the next leg of the journey.

  • Jeep

    At Raikot Bridge, you will need to hire a jeep to take you to the base of Fairy Meadows. The jeep ride is essential as the road is not accessible by regular vehicles. The ride will take about 1-1.5 hours and costs approximately 3000-4000 PKR per jeep, which can accommodate 5-6 people. Enjoy the scenic views of the Indus River and surrounding mountains as you ascend.

    Once you reach the jeep drop-off point, you will need to trek about 2-3 hours to get to Fairy Meadows. The trail is well-marked but can be steep in some sections. Make sure to wear comfortable trekking shoes and carry enough water and snacks. The trek offers stunning views of Nanga Parbat and is a rewarding experience.
