12 Day Around Nanga Parbat: Tarashing to Bunar In Tarashing we start at the village with the imposing Massif of Nanga Parbat (8000+ m) looming in front and cross the Tarashing glacier before heading through some forested areas up to Herlikopfer Base Camp and magnificent views of Nanga Parbat's South or Rupal Face. This can be done on foot or horse. Often tremendous avalanches can be viewed from the safety of the base camp. The Trek continues around Nanga Parbat exposing different faces of the Massif and different Peaks. Laila Shigri and Rupal Peak are all visible from this trek. The Mazeno Pass offers some technical difficulties and can have occasional rock fall. Snow can prevent the crossing of the pass and a return in three days by the same route is possible.

Fairy Meadows- Nanga Parbat (North) Base Camp and Camp 1 A quick trip down the KKH gets us to Raikot bridge where we change jeeps for the trip up the private road to Tato. This is a hair-raising trip as the road is built spectacularly into the cliff face and sheer drops can cause your imagination to run wild. Fairy Meadows offers awesome views of Nanga Parbat's North Face from a large green Meadow with a small lake. The meadow has a hotel for restaurant meals or we can self cater if you'd prefer. It is possible to ride from Tato, at the end of the jeep road to Fairy Meadows on horseback. Trekking further on the views become closer as we approach Nanga Parbat. The option of Jalipur Pass offers fantastic views of Jillaper Peak, Nanga Parbat and the Karakorum range. Jillaper Pass is snow covered all year and offers some contrast to the searing heats of the Pakistani plains in Summer.
