Fairy Meadows and Nanga Parbat Base Camp
Trekking to Nanga Parbat Base Camp begins in Tato Village and ascends to Fairy Meadows, Beyal Camp, Base Camp, and back to Tato Village at an altitude of 3010 to 3050 meters.
The West End of the Himalayan Range, above the Indus George, is where the trip to Nanga Parbat Base Camp takes place. It is 8126 meters above sea level and is growing 7 millimeters per year faster than the other parts of the Himalayan chain. The Mountains Sheer Unbroken, 4000 m South wall, and the Sharpest Elevation Deference Ever Found, 6.5 Vertical Kilometers from the Summit into the Adjacent Indus George, can both be found here.
Mushkpuri Top
The three-hour ascent of a hill is risk-free. 2,800 meters (9452 feet) above sea level is about where it is.
The Mushkpuri Top walk begins in Nathiagali and steadily climbs through lush pine forests. It is a 4-kilometer (2.5-mile) hill. The rise is really breathtaking. Rich with strewn greenery and flowers, it resembles a carpet of blooms. In particular, near the end of the rainy season, it offers hikers a highly alluring view.
Chitta Katha Lake
One of the highest alpine lakes in the world, Chitta Katha Lake is located at 13500 feet above sea level. The Hari Parbat Mountain range, which encircles the region, is home to Nanga Parbat, the ninth-tallest mountain in the world and the second-tallest mountain in Pakistan after K2. It is situated in Azad Kashmir's Shonter Valley. It is comparable to the intersection of Skardu, Neelum, and Naran. The border with Indian-occupied Kashmir is not far away.
Deosai National Park
The second-highest plateau in the world is called Deosai National Park, and it is situated in the Skardu area of Pakistan. It ranks among Gilgit Baltistan's top tourist destinations. A national symbol of Pakistan is also said to be this park.
The long and strenuous path that crosses Burji La Pass to reach Deosai is one of the north's most difficult trekking routes. Most hikers first rent a jeep in Skardu, then they travel to the park by car. After a few days of walking, you reach the magnificent Sheosar Lake, where you must pick up a guide.
Minapin to Rakaposhi Base Camp
Going on a hike here seems a little difficult, but not impossible. The village of Minapin is where you can start your quest. Within a few hours, you'll arrive at the base camp. Tourists are welcome to stay the night here and take in the breathtaking 360-degree picture of beautiful meadows surrounded by towering mountains.
