HFF from Pakistan

Fairy Meadows at over 3000m, with 8,126m Mount Nanga Parbat in the background.
This is where I arrived clinging in terror to a horse as it jolted and occasionally slipped on a narrow steep track for 2 hours.
A high altitude grazing pasture for locals, it was discovered by a German mountaineering party in the 50’s and given this name. It is very beautiful, and from the mountain there is a giant glacier, Raikot, which is clearly visible from these meadows.
There were a number of French, Thai, Polish and sundry others here despite the dreadfully terrifying jeep track and subsequent foot or horse climb to the meadows. Very beautiful and quite dry at the end of autumn here.

Have a really wonderful weekend!

Absolument magnifique et Un vrai plaisir pour les yeux.La capture est bien renseignée et bien enjolivée par cette montagne enneigée et cette admirable réflexion.
Bonne et agréable journée paisible et reposante en espérant que vous vous êtes rétablie de votre jambe.
