It\u2019s one of the most stunning places in the country, and it\u2019s probably how most people first discover Pakistan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, Fairy Meadows is also one of the most accessible locations in Pakistan and Gilgit-Baltistan. It\u2019s visited year-round, and the infrastructure is well-established to cater to all visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, you\u2019ll first have to endure an exhausting jeep ride and then a walk to Fairy Meadows. While relatively \u201ccomfortable\u201d to visit, Fairy Meadows still requires some work. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is still Pakistan, after all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this guide, we\u2019ll cover everything you need to know about<a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/2024\/09\/19\/fairy-meadows-pakistan-guide\/\"> visiting Fairy Meadows<\/a>, including but not limited to where to stay, how to get there, what to pack, and what to do once you arrive. Of course, we\u2019ll also (briefly) cover the hike to the legendary Nanga Parbat Base Camp. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But enough about the introduction \u2013 let\u2019s get started!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Fairy_Meadows\"><\/span><strong>What is Fairy Meadows?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search &#8220;most beautiful places in Pakistan&#8221; on Google; the first result will probably be Fairy Meadows. This green plateau sits just below the majestic Nanga Parbat and is unlike anywhere else. Words cannot describe how beautiful this area is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Fairy Meadows was inhabited before becoming a tourist destination, it didn&#8217;t get its charming name until the legendary Hermann Buhl and his German climbing companions arrived in the 1950s. Upon seeing it, they named the place M\u00e5rchenwiese, which, as one might expect, means &#8220;Fairy Meadows&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"font-size: 26px;color: #000000;line-height: 1.5;text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading\" ><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Book_Our_Trending_Fairy_Meadows_Tour_Packages_At_Best_Price\"><\/span>Book Our Trending Fairy Meadows Tour Packages At Best Price<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div id=\"ts-vcsc-image-teaser-9842127\" class=\"ts-teaser ts-teaser-container \" style=\"margin-top: 0px;

Fairy Meadows is characterized by its lush vegetation and proximity to the Karakoram Highway and Nanga Parbat. Below, in the Indus River valley, sandstorms are scaring truckers bound for China, while above, the cold, lifeless slopes of Nanga Parbat loom at 8,000 meters. Fairy Meadows lies between these two picturesque landscapes \u2013 an oasis of pine trees, miniature lakes, and gentle pastures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Germans were right to settle in the Fairy Meadows region and use it as a base camp. The region is 3,300 meters above sea level and has a pleasant climate, making it a perfect base to relax while planning an excursion to Nanga Parbat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, the Fairy Meadows region is practically a right of passage for anyone visiting Pakistan, both foreigners and locals. Sometimes, everyone stays in a cabin for a few days to see the killer mountain. Also, the crazy jeep ride to the meadows is worth it!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Visit_Fairy_Meadows\"><\/span><strong>When to Visit Fairy Meadows?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best time to visit Fairy Meadows is between April and October. However, the best months are April, May, September, and October. These are transition months, meaning the number of tourists in Pakistan will drop significantly, and prices will drop significantly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fairy Meadows Hotels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you visit at the end of the season, the temperatures will be very cold! <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">June to August is a good time to visit Fairy Meadows, but it will be very crowded. This is when Punjabis and Sindhis go on vacation, and Fairy Meadows, one of Pakistan&#8217;s most popular tourist attractions, will get crowded. Although the Raikot Bridge and the valley are like an oven, the temperatures are comfortable in the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you plan to visit during the transition months, be aware that the weather will be colder, and there is a chance of snow. In April, Fairy Meadows was hit by a freak storm, and people were hiking in waist-deep snow next to Beyal Camp. So be prepared.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_should_you_go_to_Nanga_Parbat_Base_Camp\"><\/span><strong>When should you go to Nanga Parbat Base Camp?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fairy Meadows and<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/trekking-tour-packages\/\">Nanga Parbat Base Camp<\/a> <\/strong>take on gorgeous colors in the fall. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to go to Fairy Meadows alone, try to go during Ramadan. Most Pakistanis are quiet during the holidays and don&#8217;t travel as often, so traveling during Ramadan can pose logistical problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i\"><\/span><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_28454\" style=\"width: 1180px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28454\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28454\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fairy-Meadows-Pakistan-3-1.webp\" alt=\"Travel Guide To Fairy Meadows Pakistan - Pakistan Tour n Travel \" width=\"1170\" height=\"780\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fairy-Meadows-Pakistan-3-1.webp 1170w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fairy-Meadows-Pakistan-3-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fairy-Meadows-Pakistan-3-1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fairy-Meadows-Pakistan-3-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fairy-Meadows-Pakistan-3-1-120x80.webp 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-28454\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fairy Meadows at Night<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pack_the_right_equipment\"><\/span><strong>Pack the right equipment.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fairy Meadows is not a base camp; it&#8217;s a camp. It&#8217;s a tourist area with cabins, tok shops, and even a &#8220;resort.&#8221; So you don&#8217;t necessarily need to pack like you&#8217;re going completely off the grid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it&#8217;s high season or transitional season, bring warm clothes and entertainment items like a camera, Kindle, card games, etc. In most cases, a 35-40 liter backpack will be enough. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unless you plan to camp alone, you don&#8217;t need to buy a backpack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unless you plan to camp alone, you don\u2019t need a tent, sleeping mat, or kitchen. All the lodges in Fairy Meadows provide food and bedding. You may also want to bring a sleeping bag, as sometimes the blankets provided by the lodges are not up to par.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_to_Fairy_Meadows\"><\/span><strong>How to Get to Fairy Meadows?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your first goal is to reach the northern province of Gilgit-Baltistan. Once there, you can easily reach the Raikot Bridge. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two ways to reach Gilgit-Baltistan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first option is to fly. Gilgit is the busiest airport, with three flights a day from Islamabad. These flights are fairly reliable; there is a 60% chance they will take off.

Shared taxis cost only 4000 rupees and are faster and more comfortable. You can also travel by Babusar Top, which I think is better than KKH. Ask your hotel in Islamabad or the bus station to Pindi to arrange a shared taxi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also drive yourself, usually on a motorcycle.

If you come via Babusar, you will intersect the Karnataka Expressway after Chilas. In both cases, the drive to Raikot will take about two hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gilgit Main Bazaar Driving to Raikot Bridge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The route to Raikot Bridge passes through dusty settlements. Before reaching Raikot Bridge, ensure the driver knows where you want to get off\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he should make it convenient for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the name suggests, Raikot Bridge is a large bridge with a few guesthouses. There is nothing to do here except take a jeep to Fairy Meadows. If you arrive late and need a place to stay, Raikot is a good option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Insider Tip<\/strong>: Only a few tuk-tuk shops or decent restaurants exist between Chilas and Raikot Bridge. Carry snacks with you during this period in case you are late. This stretch of road, especially around Tatapani, is known for landslides.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_The_Worlds_Scariest_Jeep_Ride\"><\/span><strong>Step 2: The World&#8217;s Scariest Jeep Ride<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The jeep route from Raikot Bridge to Ferry Meadows is often hailed as one of the most dangerous roads in the world, but it is not for the weak. With death-defying cliffs, precise curves, and little protection, this road is, for lack of a better word, absolutely insane.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite its reputation, this route is still relatively safe. Believe it or not, the track was widened some time ago, and fewer accidents have occurred. The drivers are professionals, too\u2014they live, eat, and sleep in their jeeps seven days a week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28459\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fairy-Meadows-Pakistan-8-1.webp\" alt=\"Travel Guide To Fairy Meadows Pakistan - Pakistan Tour n Travel\" width=\"1170\" height=\"780\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fairy-Meadows-Pakistan-8-1.webp 1170w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fairy-Meadows-Pakistan-8-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fairy-Meadows-Pakistan-8-1-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fairy-Meadows-Pakistan-8-1-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fairy-Meadows-Pakistan-8-1-120x80.webp 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coming out of the Raikot bridge, you\u2019ll see a line of jeeps on the roadside. The current price is 8,000 rupees per jeep. Of course, you can split your pocket money among 4-5 people. If you have less than that, you can wait for others to show up and gather their strength.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Road to Fairy Meadow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A meditation on life and death on the Fairy Meadow road. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For travelers who think they don\u2019t ride in jeeps, don\u2019t try it. A policeman or jeep will almost certainly stop you at some point. The drivers don\u2019t like people trying to cheat the system and strictly control the road to Fairy Meadow. Unless the road is damaged \u2013 in which case you have no choice but to walk \u2013 you must endure it and pay the road toll.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hike to the Fairy Meadows trail takes about two hours. The brave ones should sit on the left side to enjoy the most beautiful views on the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fairy Meadows Trail<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be honest, jeep drivers are annoying. They are my least favorite tourist attraction in the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One last thing: you will also be assigned a police escort before leaving the Raikot Bridge. This is a precautionary measure and should not be considered a sign of danger. The Pakistani government only wants to ensure that all foreign tourists are 100% safe. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The adjuster may also help you during your stay. Feel free to tip him 500 rupees if he does a good job.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Hike_to_Fairy_Meadows\"><\/span><strong>Step 3: Hike to Fairy Meadows<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The jeep will drop you off at a parking lot about 10 minutes away from Tatu Village. Before dropping the driver off, inform him or her of your expected return date and time; the more, the better. Also, just in case, bring your details, including your name, phone number, and maybe even a photo. This is the return trip to the Raikot Bridge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After parking, it&#8217;s about a 5-minute walk to the teahouse, crossing the river halfway. This is the starting point for the walk to Fairy Meadows. One can also hire horsemen here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1140\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/fairymeadows.jpg\" alt=\"fairymeadows\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/fairymeadows.jpg 3464w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/fairymeadows-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/fairymeadows-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/fairymeadows-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/fairymeadows-219x146.jpg 219w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/fairymeadows-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/fairymeadows-113x75.jpg 113w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/fairymeadows-576x384.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horses are usually used as pack animals on the way to Fairy Meadows. The owners charge people 150 rupees per kg for carrying the equipment. If you want to ride a horse, the fare is 1,500 rupees one way and 2,500 rupees for a round trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hike to Fairy Meadows from Raikot Bridge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, the walk to Ferry Meadows is not bad. The trail is 5 km long and has a gradient of 700 meters. It takes 2 to 3 hours to complete. As it is a long way to go, you can hire a horse or donkey to climb up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first half of the trail runs along the mostly exposed canyon wall. There are no steep parts. However, if you hike in the middle of the day in the summer, the trail can be very hot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you reach the Midway Hotel, you are already halfway to your destination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rest of the trail passes through a beautiful, shady pine forest. After about 30 minutes, you will increase in length more quickly. At the end, on your right, there is a steep section called the &#8220;local road&#8221;. If you don&#8217;t want to deal with this, you can skip it and take a gentler curving route ahead called the &#8220;horse road.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this point, you are almost at Fairy Meadows. Continue along the ridge until you reach the river. Not far away, a steep local road takes you past the Greenland Guest House. Otherwise, continue until you reach Raikot Serai. <\/span><strong>Welcome to Fairy Meadows! <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sunrise over Nanga Parbat from Fairy Meadows is indescribable in words. You will see the galaxy over your head at night, and the view on the morning of the day after you arrive is breathtakingly beautiful.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_in_Fairy_Meadows_Average_Hotel_Rates\"><\/span><strong>Where to stay in Fairy Meadows? Average Hotel Rates?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After your trip to Fairy Meadows, you can find your hostel by walking around. Unless you have booked in advance, you can book a room. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You&#8217;ll notice immediately that Fairy Meadows has various accommodation options, half of which appear to be permanent structures. The accommodation area stretches from the Shambhala Resort by the pond to the Fairy Meadows cottages in the south.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average room cost at Fairy Meadows is between 2,000 and 3,000 rupees. Raikot Serai is the most expensive place at 7,000 rupees a night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1137 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Fairy-Meadows.jpg\" alt=\"Fairy Meadows\" width=\"1024\" height=\"564\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Fairy-Meadows.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Fairy-Meadows-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Fairy-Meadows-768x423.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Fairy-Meadows-260x143.jpg 260w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Fairy-Meadows-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Fairy-Meadows-136x75.jpg 136w, https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Fairy-Meadows-576x317.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Room rates at Fairy Meadows Hotels start at 4,000 rupees per night, and meals are 1000 rupees. The hotel is also easy to find today, as it is next to the new communications tower. Electricity and hot water are available upon request.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nanga_Parbat_Base_Camp_Hike\"><\/span><strong>Nanga Parbat Base Camp Hike<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides the beautiful mountain views, this is the number one reason to visit Ferry Meadows. Nanga Parbat Base Camp is one of the best day trips in Pakistan and should be on every traveler&#8217;s list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The journey can take 5 to 8 hours, depending on the group&#8217;s strength and the trail&#8217;s condition. It is about 9 kilometers long and reaches a height of 700 meters. The trail is an out-and-back, which means you will return the same way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first half of the hike is very easy, as you are mainly walking through meadows. After two hours, you will reach the Bir Camp, where you can enjoy tea and lunch on the way back. After another hour, you will reach the midpoint, also known as the &#8220;view point.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other half is more difficult and involves mainly hiking on the glacier. The trail may disappear if the weather is bad, which is a good reason to bring a local guide. Don&#8217;t just trust maps, as some people get lost while doing this. This viewpoint promises<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0just what its name promises: a breathtaking view. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last stretch involves a steep climb to the top of the mountain, the <a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/tours\/rakaposhi-basecamp-tour\/\">Nanga Parbat Base Camp.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you reach the base camp, you are almost in front of the 8,126-meter peak. Nanga Parbat looks at you almost indifferently, like a giant that cannot notice such a small creature. Look at the terrifying face of the Raikot with its countless crevices and canopies and admire the gigantic beauty of this mountain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Play_Cricket_or_Volleyball\"><\/span><strong>Play Cricket or Volleyball<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A large open space in the center of Fairy Meadow serves as a gathering place. Pakistani tourists and locals gather to socialize, play volleyball, and, most importantly, cricket.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you haven\u2019t noticed during your trip to Pakistan, people are passionate about cricket. If Pakistanis have free time, they may look for a casual game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pakistanis also love to share their national pastime with foreigners. They will eventually ask if you want to join if you approach the field and stay there long enough (15 seconds). Cricket is fun. Overzealous players may yell about the rules, but that&#8217;s part of the game.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_raw_code wpb_raw_html wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">World\u2019s most gorgeous cricket ground, Fairy Meadows <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Pakistan?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#Pakistan<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/knquPzRmcP\">pic.twitter.com\/knquPzRmcP<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Moments &amp; memories (@momentmemori) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/momentmemori\/status\/1358047697270427648?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">February 6, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_the_Reflecting_Pond\"><\/span><strong>Find the Reflecting Pond<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find the Reflection Lake. It perhaps offers the best view of the Fairy Meadows of Nanga Parbat. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Nameless Pond (locally known as Reflection Lake) is behind the Cricket Field, next to the Shambhala Resort. From a distance, the canal is easy to miss, but once you see it, the pond&#8217;s location becomes very clear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost everyone will love this spot, but photographers will especially love it. Nanga Parbat is perfectly reflected in the water, and this reflection makes for a beautiful picture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Reflection Lake works best at dawn. Do yourself a favor: cross the Cricket Field before sunrise and head for the pond. Whatever you do, don&#8217;t look back! Only look back once you&#8217;ve reached the pond and walked around it. You\u2019ll see the most beautiful view of your life: Nanga Parbat, in all its morning glory, lit by the rising sun.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dive_Into_Your_Soul\"><\/span><strong>Dive Into Your Soul\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At worst, Fairy Meadows is a great place to do nothing. It is the best place to connect with your inner soul. You can read a book, take a peaceful nap, enjoy the homemade recipes, or do whatever feels most pleasurable to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Walk_to_the_Old_Reception_Point\"><\/span><strong>Walk to the Old Reception Point<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a short but pleasant hike to a viewpoint looking north in the opposite direction of Nanga Parbat. It\u2019s known locally as the \u201cReception Point\u201d because it was the only place in Ferry Meadows where a cell phone signal was available (until a cell tower was installed).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not as many Pakistanis walk and talk on the phone these days, but it\u2019s still a great sight. The valley and 7,800-meter-high Rakaboshi, about 100 kilometers from Hunza, offer stunning views.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also explore another city in the valley below. It\u2019s accessible on foot, although residents may not be accepting of strangers. People who live in the area like to maintain their privacy and generally don\u2019t like tourists invading their personal space.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prepare_for_a_bonfire\"><\/span><strong>Prepare for a bonfire<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost all the lodges in Fairy Meadows have some fire pit, and a bonfire is built every evening. This is a great opportunity to meet other travelers. They\u2019ll most likely be from Lahore or Karachi, which means they\u2019ll most likely want to dance. The Punjabi dance party with live singing at Fairy Meadows is a must-try.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also a great opportunity to sit back and reflect on life.

Overpopulation creates demand, which in turn often puts pressure on local communities and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ecosystems.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Astore locals aren\u2019t always thrilled about tourists trampling their land, but they see the value in having people visit as long as they\u2019re respectful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the colder seasons, drinking tea by the fire is one of the best ways to enjoy Fairy Meadows. To ensure you have a great time during your visit to Fairy Meadows, be aware of the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The locals are among the most conservative in Gilgit-Baltistan, though they\u2019re not as conservative as the Chilas. This conservatism is evident in the fact that Fairy Meadows has almost no women. Most of them are hidden away. Don\u2019t confront a local woman, as the situation can quickly become awkward if you see a local woman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women walk along the edge of Fairy Meadows, especially in the mornings and afternoons. Avoid taking photos if people are wandering around. The depictions of women in Astore are generally considered inappropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid walking through the local town. There is a delicate balance between living and traveling here, and it works while respecting boundaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local men can sometimes be overly aggressive with foreign women. Ladies, if a local man enters your space, tell him politely to leave; they will listen. Otherwise, they will go a kilometer if you give them a centimeter.
