Due to its spell-binding beauty, Australian climber Hermann Bhul named it Fairy Meadows in 1953<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">He was there to climb the summit of Nanga Parbat and became the first person to reach the peak of<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">&nbsp;the mountain. Besides nature lovers, the meadows have long been an electrifying&nbsp;destination for climbers, nature enthusiasts, environmentalists, backpackers, wildlife researchers, painters, photographers, and polo lovers who spend a couple of days there&nbsp;<\/span>for real exploration. <a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/tours\/fairy-meadows-tour-package\/\">Fairy Meadows<\/a> can easily be approached from the capital territory of Pakistan<a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/islamabad-the-capital\/\">, Islamabad<\/a>.&nbsp;<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Booking a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/tours\/fairy-meadows-tour-package\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fairy Meadows Tour Package<\/a> is now easy with us. Just<\/span>&nbsp;give us a call and have the best time in the heart of nature.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Fairy Meadows is like the bouquet before the towering killer mountain, Nanga Parbat. The mountain serves as a backdrop for Fairy Meadows, making it an appealing and exciting destination for tourists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/tours\/fairy-meadows-tour-package\/\">Fairy Meadows<\/a> is where the legends of Nanga Parbat are kept alive, told by generations of villagers who had the chance to witness the legions of climbers who never descended its icy walls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Nanga Parbat is the ninth tallest mountain in the world, standing at 8,125 meters. It is also the&nbsp;<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">second-<a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/2018\/06\/27\/top-10-mountain-ranges-of-pakistan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tallest<\/a><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/2018\/06\/27\/top-10-mountain-ranges-of-pakistan\/\">&nbsp;mountain in Pakistan<\/a>, after K2. It is also the first mountain in the<a href=\"https:\/\/pakistantourntravel.com\/2019\/07\/11\/5-northern-areas-of-pakistan\/\"> Great Himalayas range<\/a>. The meadows change with the seasons. In autumn, the trees streak the mountains with a bright yellow, while winter is bare, bone white,<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&nbsp;and still. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Spring brings forth the river\u2019s roar, the crisp cracks of avalanches, and the bloom of purple, yellow, and white wildflowers. Babbling brooks flow through the meadows, sparkling with stones like pyrite and quartz, but the snow remains glued to the mountain tops. Winter winds seldom visit in spring, howling through the log cabins at night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Many tourists prefer to stay in camps in lush, green settings. In contrast to cities, food is a bit expensive here. But the availability of food at this far-flung place makes it worth paying. The six-month visitor season at Fairy Meadows starts in April and lasts until September.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/seepakistantours.com\/destination\/fairy-meadows-pakistan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best time to visit<\/a> Fairy Meadows is between the end of June and the middle of August. In winter, the place becomes unapproachable due to heavy snowfall. Tourist lodges at the camping site are spread over two acres and are well-known as \u2018Raikot Serai.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Most of all, houses are nestled amongst the mountains like hobbit holes, built out of pine logs with flattened birch bark used for the roof. The men play polo, sip tea, and cut firewood with the echoing thuds of their axes. The women pick wild mulberries, raspberries, and strawberries in the meadows and tend to their vegetable gardens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In addition, at night, Nanga Parbat glows white in the still darkness, and men lounge on Pakistani rugs around small wood-fired iron stoves, relaying tales of the killer mountain.<\/p>\n<p>However, the experience feels very safe, and the traveler should worry more about the cliffs and the biting cold at night rather than the possibility of terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Hikers should take advantage of the pristine experience they can have while visiting this gem of a place.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, from all the above information, it can be rightly said that Fairy Meadow is heaven on earth. Lush green meadows in between the mighty creation of the Almighty.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid\"><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-6875444\" class=\"ts-teaser ts-teaser-container \" style=\"margin-top: 0px;
