I along with my friend Ahmed Khan joined a group of Trekkerz from Lahore for Fairy Meadows trip on June 06, 2014. The group was consisting on 17 members. Mr. Maaz was leading the group towards Fairy Meadows. We left Lahore at 11:30 pm and reached Chilas next night after a long traveling. Spent a night in Shangrilla Resort Chilas. Next Morning (Sunday) after breakfast from Shangrilla, we left chilas and reached Raikot Bridge after 2 hours. The weather was pleasant. We hired 4 jeeps for Tatoo Village and reached the village after 1.5 hours terrible drive. It was terrible for us but the jeep drivers called themselves "Pilots" of this ride. From Tatoo village porters took our bags and started walking towards the dream land Fairy Meadows. It was a steep trek from Tatoo to Fairy Meadows. Some members were fast and some were slow in speed. Till evening everyone was on the top at lush green meadows of Fairy land (Fairy Meadows). The mighty Nanga Parbat was standing in-front of us. It was very cold night starting. We take dinner and take rest in out tents managed by the group organizer. Next morning we saw the first sun light on Nanga Parbat. It was a great and clear view of Nanga Parbat. We take some photos. After breakfast we explore the whole area of Fairy Meadows. Spent some time over Fantori Lake and Fairy Meadows Village with the locals.
Next day we reached Beyal Camp from a beautiful track covered by Pine Trees and beautiful water streams. Rest for some time in Beyal Camp then kept trekking towards 1st view scene of base-camp. Here our team divided into two groups. One started trek towards Nanga Parbat Base Camp. The other group climbed the mountain towards 2nd view point of Nanga Parbat Base-camp.
At night the whole team was at fairy meadows, Bar-B-Q was served in dinner and enjoyed bonfire there. Next morning after breakfast we left Fairy Meadows with sorrow heart and came down to Tatoo Village, then onward to Raikot Bridge and then Came back to our homes.
