Trip Highlight
Nanga Parbat (8125m) is widely known as the “Killer Mountain” and is the world’s ninth- highest 8000m peaks. It is also the second-highest of Pakistan’s five 8000m peaks. Nanga Parbat was first climbed by Herman Buhl in 1953. The peak still retains it awe for the experienced climbers. The massif of Nanga Parbat offers three faces, each with its own distinctive features. On the southern side of Nanga, we have the famous Rupal Face; the tallest wall in the world with an extraordinary 4500m cliff. Rupal Face journey starts from Gilgit or Karakoram Highway (KKH) to Tarashing; a green alpine village at the head of the jeep track. The Journey continues for a further day to reach Rupal base camp. This route offers several options: you can choose to return from the base camp or continue the trek to Mazino La which is the highest point on this trek. You can then descend via a different route. We offer both options based on your fitness level and your personal preference. We are known to tailor our itinerary to suit your needs and can offer bespoke adventures.
