Enchanting Retreat at Fairy Meadows Cottages

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car from Nanga Parbat Base Camp, head south on the main trail towards Raikot. The road will lead you through scenic landscapes. Continue driving for approximately 30 kilometers until you reach the trailhead for Fairy Meadows. There you will find parking available. Note that the last stretch is often challenging due to the rugged terrain, so a 4x4 vehicle is recommended.

• Public Transportation

  If you prefer public transportation, you can take a shared jeep from Nanga Parbat Base Camp to Raikot. These jeeps are available near the camp and can be hired for a group or by individual travelers. The fare is typically around 300-500 PKR per person. Once you arrive at Raikot, you will need to walk to the trailhead for Fairy Meadows, which is about a 1 km hike. From the trailhead, you can either hike or take a pony ride to the Fairy Meadows Cottages.

• Hiking

  From the trailhead at Raikot, you will begin a scenic hike towards Fairy Meadows. The trail is well-marked and takes approximately 2-3 hours to reach the cottages. The hike is moderate in difficulty, with some steep sections, so ensure you are prepared with appropriate footwear and water. Keep an eye out for beautiful views of Nanga Parbat along the way!
