Trek Around Nanga Parbat with Skardu Expeditions Tracks and Tours:
The second-highest peak in Pakistan and ninth-highest in the world, Nanga Parbat (8125 m/26,813 ft), is also regarded as one of the three most difficult mountains in the world. The enormous massif is known as Nanga Parbat, which means “bare mountain,” and includes a sequence of ridges and pinnacles that culminate at an elevation of 8125 metres (26,813 feet). The second nickname that has gained notoriety is Killer Mountain since the early tragedies that occurred on this peak were severe and once resulted in the greatest number of fatalities of any mountain in the world. It took a long time to conquer, but a joint German-Austrian expedition finally succeeded when Hermann Buhl made the last ascent in a gruelling 41-hour solo agony without oxygen.
In the programme, we travel in a circle around the mountain to take in its natural beauty and local culture. At Mazeno, a semi-technical crossing that requires fixed ropes to descend on steep crevassed slopes, we reach the highest point of our climb at 5300 metres. Our hike comes to an end at Fairy Meadows, whose name perfectly captures its essence.
