Fairy Meadows Shimashal Valley
Overview
Join us on an exhilarating 13-day journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Northern Pakistan, with thrilling off-road jeep rides to peek at some of the highest places in the world. The exploration begins in Islamabad. A scenic drive to Naran will transport you to the first night amidst the mountains. We immediately leap into adventure mode with a gripping off-road jeep drive to Tattu village, then hike to Fairy Meadows. At 3000+m altitude, you will be rewarded with spectacular views of the majestic Nanga Parbat peak (8126m). Fully immerse in its wonders in an excursion to the Beyal Base Camp. The journey continues to the cultural wonders of Baltit Fort and Altit Fort in Hunza, a glimpse into the rich local heritage. The next thrilling off-road drive will take you along the glacial river to Shimshal Village, the highest village before the Pamir Pass, to meet the warm hospitality of its rugged people. We then rejuvenate our souls at tranquil Borith Lake, a fresh hike to Passu Glacier, and a daring stroll on the iconic Hussaini Suspension Bridge. Back in Islamabad, the adventure winds down with a relaxing day-hike in the Margalla Hills and a farewell Pakistani feast with captivating night views of the capital.
