HIMALAYA
Around The Nanga Parbat
Nanga
Parbat (8125 m.) is the western most bastion of the Himalayas. One has
to travel completely around the globe to come back to the Himalayas to
see such high peaks on our planet. The word 'Nanga' means naked and
'Parbat' is mountain. Nanga Parbat is also a killer mountain. Many
climbers died on it before it was summated by the great Hermann Buhl
without supplemental oxygen in 1953. His epic climb is still
unsurpassed.
The journey
traditionally called: 'Around Nanga Parbat' actually goes halfway around
the mountain. It offers us stupendous sights of this Himalayan giant.
The crossing of Mazeno Pass (5,399 m.) is a technical endeavor where
ropes are fixed on steep pitches. The trip is for anyone who wants to
get close to this legendary mountain and feel its presence deep down in
one's soul! This is a challenging trek in Pakistan's Himalaya.

Fairy Meadows, so named
because of local superstition that fairies inhabit this spectacularly
forested alpine meadow, is a wonderful setting from where to explore
Nanga Parbat. One will drive from Gilgit to Beyal, and from there walk
a few hours to Fairy Meadows. Shepherd's huts are scattered around the
area, and clear water is plentiful coupled with the pine forests and
the looming north face of Nanga Parbat, one can readily believe that
fairies really do live in this alpine meadow. The next day's trek will
lead to the base camp of this trek, Beyal, from where day excursions
will be made to the German memorial to those killed in the 1937
expedition, and to the foot of Jiliper Peak. On the return, stop for
the night at Fairy Meadows, before trekking to the road head and
