Raikot Sarai (Fairy Meadows) - Northern Pakistan

You are looking at Nanga Parbat (8126m), considered by some to be the second most deadliest mountain in the world to climb.

 

It is the world's 9th highest peak and is part of the Himalayan Range, located in Pakistan.

 

 

This is the view from Fairy meadows, the mountain base.

 

 

Wikipedia says : To the south, Nanga Parbat boasts what is often referred to as the highest mountain face in the world: the Rupal Face rises 4,600 m (15,000 feet) above its base.

 

To the north, the complex, somewhat more gently sloped Rakhiot Flank rises 7,000 m (22,966 feet) from the Indus River valley to the summit in just 27 km, one of the 10 greatest elevation gains in so short a distance on Earth.

 

In Short - Expect snow avalanches

<moabjeeper> yes - the jeep was transport. it spirals up the mountain to fairy meadows, one of the most dangerous ride I have EVER taken.

<Yorkjodi> - you are kidding. I am not fit enough to be mountaineer....
