Fairy Meadows
Pakistan
The Fairy Meadows, locally known as Joot, is an area of grassland near one of the base camp sites of Nanga Parbat, located in Diamer District in the Gilgit-Baltistan region in Pakistan. At an altitude of about 3,300 metres (10, 800 ft) above sea level, it serves as the launching point for mountaineers summiting Nanga Parbat by the Rakhiot face. In 1995, the Government of Pakistan declared Fairy Meadows a National Park. Since 2021 it is a part of Nanga Parbat National Park. While Fairy Meadows is famous for its views of Nanga Parbat, the point commonly mistaken for the summit from this vantage point is actually the North Peak (7, 816 m). The true summit (8, 126 m) remains hidden behind the North Peak's massif and the Silver Saddle.
