Two of the most enchanting and awe-inspiring destinations in Pakistan are Fairy Meadows and Katpana Cold Desert. Here’s a closer look at these remarkable spots:

Fairy Meadows Pakistan is a place of ethereal beauty, offering mesmerizing views of Nanga Parbat, the 9th highest mountain peak in the world. Getting to Fairy Meadows is an adventure in itself. The journey begins with a thrilling jeep ride on one of the world’s most dangerous roads, followed by a 5-kilometer trek. You have the option to rent a campsite or bring your own camping equipment to spend a night or two immersing yourself in the breathtaking vistas. Currently, the cost of a jeep ride to Fairy Meadows is approximately 8,000 rupees ($51), and walking on the road is prohibited. Sharing the jeep cost with fellow travelers is a good idea to split expenses.

Katpana Cold Desert: Pakistan is a country that encompasses diverse landscapes, and the Katpana Cold Desert is a testament to its natural wonders.

The sand dunes of Katpana at such a high altitude create a truly distinctive sight. Few places in the world can boast of such a rarity. The Katpana Cold Desert is easily accessible from Skardu, located approximately 30 minutes away. However, public transportation options may be limited, so it’s advisable to plan for private transportation.
