Nanga Parbat (Rakhiot Face)
نانگا پربت
The world's ninth-highest peak at 8,126 meters. From Fairy Meadows you can see the full Rakhiot Face head-on.
Nanga Parbat rises to 8,126 meters. It is the world's ninth-highest mountain and a pillar at the western end of the Himalayas, earning the nickname Killer Mountain because so many climbers have died attempting it. Fairy Meadows faces its northern Rakhiot Face. On clear mornings, the first sunlight lights up the snow walls and creates alpenglow, the most classic view here. Viewing requires no extra hiking, since the camp itself is the best vantage point. For a closer look, continue to Bayal Camp or Rakhiot Base Camp.
