TREK OVERVIEW:

Nanga Parbat Base Camp Trek is no doubt one of the spectacular treks in the world. Nanga Parbat is the ninth highest mountain in the world and the second highest in Pakistan after K2. It is Located in Diamir district of Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan. Nanga Parbat is the western anchor of the Himalaya. It is separated from the Karakoram range by the mighty Indus River. It rises directly from the Indus valley.

The breath-taking scenery of majestic fairy Meadow and driving on the famous Karakoram Highway makes the Nanga Parbat base camp trek an amazing Trek in the world. This Trek will take you to the leafy, green, steep hillside and waterfall of the western Himalaya.

Nanga Parbat is not a single peak but consists of 20km long series of peaks and ridges culminating in an ice crest of (8,125 m). Its South Face known as Rupal Face (5,000 m) high, while the North or Raikot Face plunging over (7,000 m) from the summit to the Indus forms one of the world’s deepest gorge. It was first climbed in 1953 by a joint Austrian – German Expedition. Hermann Buhl made the final ascent in a tortuous 41 hours solo ordeal without oxygen. Italian mountaineer Reinhold Messner climbed the south face (Rupal Face) with his brother Gunther in 1970, descending by the Diamir face. The south face is the largest in the world extending over four kilometres above base camp. To date there have only been five ascents from the south.
