The Patundas and Nanga Parbat Juliper Pass Trek is a demanding and rewarding journey that combines the dramatic landscapes of Upper Hunza with the legendary Fairy Meadows and Nanga Parbat region. This trek is ideal for trekkers who want glacier crossings, high viewpoints, and a strong mix of Karakoram and Himalayan scenery.
The first part of the trek leads to Patundas Meadows, one of the best viewpoints in Hunza, offering wide views of giant peaks like Passu, Batura, Rakaposhi, Shishper, and Distaghil Sar. The second part takes you to Fairy Meadows and across the Juliper Pass, a remote and strenuous route near Nanga Parbat’s north face. This trek is physically challenging but extremely scenic and varied.
