From Fairy Meadows, North Pakistan. At 3,300 meters. Looking out at the north face of the 8,126m Nanga Parbat massif at the extreme end of the Himalaya. From the massif runs this giant Raikot Glacier, which covers 39sq kilometres. Because of its extreme altitude, this glacier is not retreating. It was well worth the hair-raising Jeep drive and subsequent nightmare horse ride to get here and stay a couple of nights in this high altitude grazing land. It is also a stop on the access to Nanga Parbat base camps. Nanga Parbat is commonly known as the Killer Mountain as it has taken the lives of many professional mountaineers attempting to summit it.

Have a cracking Friday and a worry free weekend ❤️
There is a fence there…it stops you falling headfirst down a steep abyss into the glacier.
