Fairy Meadows
Fairy Meadows (Urdu: ΩΎΨ±Ϋ ΪΨ±Ψ§Ϊ―Ψ§Ϋ) is a lush alpine meadow situated at 3,306 metres above sea level in the Diamer District of Gilgit-Baltistan. It offers the most direct and iconic view of Nanga Parbat (8,126m) β the 9th highest mountain in the world and one of the deadliest. The meadow is reached by a thrilling jeep track to Tato village followed by a 3β4 hour trek through pine forests. The clear night skies reveal the Milky Way in full glory, and the sunrise view of Nanga Parbat is considered one of the most spectacular in the world.
Deosai National Park
Deosai National Park is one of the world's highest plateaus at an average elevation of 4,114 metres, covering 3,000 sq km across Gilgit-Baltistan. Known as the "Land of Giants," it is home to the Himalayan Brown Bear, Snow Leopard, Tibetan Wolf, and hundreds of wildflower species. Sheosar Lake, shimmering at 4,142 metres, sits at the heart of the park. In summer, the plateau transforms into a carpet of wildflowers and the sky is so clear that you can see stars in the daytime. It is also a critical habitat for brown bears (less than 50 remain in Pakistan).
