Raikot Sarai (Sarai
is a Persian word for ‘inn’) is a camp resort
located atop the heavily forested Fairy Meadows in
North Pakistan, at an altitude of 3306m. Established
in 1992, this tourist destination is highly popular
among mountaineers and trekking enthusiasts for its
exhilarating ‘Nanga Parbat Experience’.
Looking on from the Sarai lodges one can see the
Raikot Glacier yawning beneath the North face of the
Killer Mountain.
Studded with alpine trees, Fairy Meadows
gets its name from the legendary claim that
fairies inhabit the meadow. Nestled at the
foot of the towering
Nanga Parbat (8126m) this
location offers a spectacular view of
surrounding landscape. One can indulge in a
truly unique experience of the Nanga Parbat,
watching from the Raikot resort at a
distance so close --- it leaves you
captivated.

Pakistan’s Nanga Parbat stands at 26 660 ft
(8126m), anchoring the western Himalayan
region. This mountain, known as ‘Diamir’ to
local inhabitants, but more widely known as
the ‘Killer Mountain’, is notorious for
devouring more mountaineering expeditions
than is recorded at any other ascent in the
world. Ranked as the second highest peak in
Pakistan and the ninth highest in the world,
its arrogance exudes an eerie charm,
tempting those who dare…luring those who
aspire! |
