TREK OVERVIEW:
Around Nanga Parbat is a circular trek for mountaineers and trekkers in the Western Himalayan region of Pakistan. Nanga Parbat means naked mountains and is generally known as Diamer, king of the mountains. Nanga Parbat is the 9th highest peak globally and the second highest mountain after K2 in Pakistan, which lies in Gilgit Baltistan. Its height is almost 8126m and flows more than 7km. The Indus and the Brahmaputra rivers bound it.
Nanga Parbat Peak has earned the nickname Killer Mountain because of the high number of climber deaths. Therefore, it is known as a tricky mountain to climb. Nanga Parbat has three faces: Diamir face in the west, Rakhiot face in the North, and Rupal face in the south. The ridge of the Nanga Parbat comprises a bulk of rock and ice. A member of the German-Austrian team first climbed Nanga Parbat in 1953.
Trango Adventurehase has been organising the Nanga Parbat Base Camp trek for many years. We offer both essential and luxury Nanga Parbat Base Camp Trek. The duration of the trek may be longer or shorter depending on your experience, ability and available time.
Your guide will meet you at Islamabad International Airport and transfer you to the group hotel for the rest. We will meet again in the evening for the briefing about the Nanga Parbat trek. After a night’s stay, we will drive towards Chillas via the Karakoram Highway. Then we will go to Astore. The next day, we will do trekking for some hours towards Tarashing. By crossing the Tarashing glacier, we will reach Herligkoffer base camp. The following day, we will walk to the Latobah under the Rupal face of Nanga Parbat.
After crossing Shaigiri we will reach Mazeno base camp and Mazeno high camp while experiencing the steep terrains, hillsides, waterfalls, and scenic views. We must ascend Mazeno Pass to arrive at Laibh meadows for a night’s stay. After breakfast, we will continue our Nanga Parbat circuit trek towards Zangot, where we will spend one more day as a leisurely rest. We will follow the trail from Kutagali, Shaichi, to Gutum Sagar. We will start trekking to Jilipur High Campp and Beyal Camp early morning. We spend a night near Nanga Parbat base camp and trek to fairy meadows.
You will come across a mighty region with splendid views of the massive Nanga Parbat Peak. We have to spend one night in fairy meadows in tents under the stars to enjoy the cool breeze at the base camp before travelling to Islamabad. We will have a barbecue and bonfire tonight.
After seeing Nanga Parbat, we will drive back to Chillas from Raikot Bridge. In the morning, we will travel to Islamabad via Babusar Pass. After sightseeing in Islamabad, we will move you to the Islamabad International Airport for your flight back home. Please book your return flight on the last day of our itinerary.
The Nanga Parbat circuit trek is one of the most strenuous treks in the world, with spectacular mountain vistas as a reward.

MEAL PLAN
ACCOMMODATION
During the Nanga Parbat base camp trek, the group will spend all nights in a good standard hotel and Tents. Accommodation at each of these hotels and tents is twin-sharing with en-suite facilities. If you are travelling by yourself you will be paired with another single client of the same sex. It is possible to hire a single room for an additional cost. Additional hotel nights in Islamabad are also available. For hotel prices and single supplement costs please contact us. Hotels are subject to availability and prices may vary.
HEALTH & VACCINATION
You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you specifically require any vaccinations or other preventive measures. You should be up to date with routine courses and boosters as recommended in the UK e.g. diphtheria-tetanus-polio and measles-mumps-rubella), along with hepatitis A and typhoid. Malarial prophylaxis is discretionary for this trip. Malaria exists in the area around Islamabad. However, incidences of urban transmission of malaria are extremely low. In Chilas and the mountains, there is no malaria risk. A good online resource is Travel Health Pro. Dengue fever is a known risk in places visited. It is a tropical viral disease spread by daytime-biting mosquitoes. There is currently no vaccine or prophylaxis available and therefore the best form of prevention is to avoid being bitten. We recommend you take precautions to avoid mosquito bites
INSURANCE
We highly recommend that you have adequate travel insurance for your trip with Trango Adventure Pakistan. We recognise the complexity and variety of choices in the insurance market and know that many of you either have your preferred insurer or have annual multi-trip cover in place already. If this is the case, please ensure that your insurer is aware of your Trango Adventure itinerary and can agree to cover the activities being undertaken.
Trango Adventure does not provide any advice on travel insurance, although it is highly recommended that you have travel insurance which covers the activities which you are likely to be undertaking on your holiday.

MOUNTAIN GUIDE & SUPPORTING STAFF
ALTITUDE
The Nanga Parbat base camp trek involves going to high altitudes. During your trip, you will be above 3,500 metres for 1-2 days. This is not something that you should worry about; the human body is quite capable of adapting to a very wide range of altitudes, but we must follow some simple rules to acclimatise successfully. Before coming on this holiday you should get some basic advice on Tours at high altitudes.
CLIMATE
From mid-June to August, we can expect to encounter temperatures as high as 40°C at Islamabad, and Chila, and 25°C in the Nanga Parbat region. Weather is generally good throughout the summer season, with clear skies and little rain or snow. However, weather in mountainous areas is difficult to predict, and short-lived storms can occur at any time.
