OVERVIEW & ITINERARY

Details

The Fairy Meadows Juliper and Buldar Trek is a classic Himalayan adventure focused on the legendary Nanga Parbat region. Fairy Meadows is famous for its pine forests, open alpine meadows, and close views of the north face of Nanga Parbat. Local stories say fairies live here, and once you reach the meadow, it is easy to understand why.

This trek goes beyond Fairy Meadows and leads to Beyal Camp, Nanga Parbat Base Camp, and higher alpine zones. For trekkers looking for more challenge, there are optional ascents of Buldar Peak and Juliper Peak, offering dramatic views of glaciers, ridges, and surrounding peaks. The journey also includes cultural stops in Hunza Valley, making it a complete mix of nature, trekking, and mountain life.
