Description
Situated in the western reaches of the iconic Himalayan Mountains, Fairy Meadows is widely considered one of Pakistan’s most beautiful places. This lush high plateau, which sits in the north of the country, at the foot of the stunning Nanga Parbat peak, also makes for an incredible trekking destination.
Over the course of our six days together, we will head from the city of Islamabad into the mountains and hike through this gorgeous valley and up to the Nanga Parbat base camp. Along the way, we will enjoy stunning views of various snow-capped Himalayan peaks, thick evergreen forests and the luscious green valley. We may even get the chance to see some of the local wild horses too.
Starting from a village in the valley, we will walk several hours each day, steadily gaining altitude. At one point, we will have the option to summit one of the various peaks surrounding the valley – either Jillipur Peak (5,206m) or Buldar Peak (5,602m) – in order to get even more great views of the surroundings. After reaching the base camp, we will slowly hike back down out of the valley and on to another town. To finish off the trip, we will enjoy a local meal, listen to some music and dance in celebration.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this once-in-a-lifetime adventure and spend 6 days trekking through the Fairy Meadows in northern Pakistan!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
