About Fairy Meadows

Fairy Meadows (Joot) is a lush green plateau at 3,300m, offering some of the most dramatic views of Nanga Parbat (8,126m) — the world's ninth-highest mountain. The journey itself is an adventure: a 4WD jeep ride on a cliff-hugging road followed by a 3-hour hike through pine forests to the meadows.
