If there’s one trek in Pakistan that captures the raw, majestic essence of the Himalayas—it’s the Around Nanga Parbat Trek. This journey takes you to all three iconic faces of Nanga Parbat (8125m)—Rupal, Diamir, and Raikot, each offering a unique landscape, mood, and story.
Combined with an immersive Hunza Valley tour, this 30-day expedition is designed for serious trekkers, photographers, and adventurers who want to circle one of the highest mountains on Earth while also soaking in the rich culture and alpine beauty of Gilgit-Baltistan.
This route is not for the faint-hearted—rated strenuous, with 21 camping nights, multiple high passes, and glacier crossings. But for those who take it on, the reward is unlike any other trek in the world.
🏔 Why Choose the Around Nanga Parbat Trek?
Unlike other single-face base camp treks, this journey offers a 360-degree experience of Nanga Parbat—the second highest mountain in Pakistan and the ninth highest in the world. From the lush green meadows of Fairy Meadows and the icy wilderness of Diamir Face, to the towering cliffs of Rupal Face—every turn reveals a new side of this Himalayan giant.

- Mazino Pass and Jilipur Pass, high-altitude crossings with panoramic views
- Remote alpine villages and glacier valleys
- Cultural gems like Altit and Baltit forts in Hunza
- Khunjerab Pass, the highest paved international border
