Highlights
North Nomads operates every expedition directly with its own local guides and logistics team. No subcontractors or middlemen. This 6-day trek takes you from Islamabad along the Karakoram Highway to Fairy Meadows, up to Nanga Parbat Base Camp at 4,100m, twice over Babusar Pass at 4,173m, with a visit to Lake Saif ul Malook and an overnight in Naran. Small groups of 12 or fewer ensure a personal mountain experience with world-class stargazing, authentic Pakistani hospitality, and all meals, accommodation, and transport included from airport pickup. Your first evening includes a visit to Faisal Mosque followed by a welcome dinner with the team. The trek passes through ancient pine forests to a meadow with unobstructed views of Nanga Parbat, the world's ninth-highest peak. You sleep two nights at 3,300m with virtually zero light pollution. Every detail is handled from the moment you land to the moment you are dropped back.

About Islamabad
Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, is a planned green city at the foot of the Margalla Hills, with a vast modern mosque and tree-lined streets.
Islamabad was designed in the early 1960s by the Greek planner Constantinos Doxiadis as a grid of numbered sectors, and replaced Karachi as the capital. It lies below the Margalla Hills, the foothills of the Himalayas, a green backdrop to the city. The Faisal Mosque, a modern tent-shaped building with four tall minarets, is one of the largest mosques in the world and dominates the skyline.
Top-ranked sights in Islamabad: Saidpur Village, Lake View Park.
