“Nanga Parbat, standing at 8,126 meters and known locally as Diamer, translates to ‘Naked Mountain,’ though it’s affectionately referred to as the ‘Sleeping Beauty’ of the Western Himalayan Mountain Range. Situated south of the Indus River in the Diamer district of Gilgit Baltistan, Nanga Parbat gained notoriety after a tragic incident in 1937 when twelve climbers and eighteen Sherpas lost their lives on its slopes, earning it the nickname ‘killer mountain.’ However, in 1953, an Austrian/German expedition led by Hermann Buhl successfully summited Nanga Parbat in the summer, marking the mountain’s first ascent. Since then, climbers from around the globe have tackled its formidable slopes. Nanga Parbat ranks as Pakistan’s second-highest peak after K2 and stands as the ninth highest peak globally.
The first successful winter ascent of Nanga Parbat occurred on February 26, 2016, achieved by a team comprising Ali Sadpara from Pakistan, Alex Txikon from Spain, and Simone Moro from Italy.
Nanga Parbat boasts three gigantic faces: the Raikot East face, the Diamer West face route, and the Rupal South face, with Herligkoffer Base Camp situated at the highest elevation of 4,600 meters. Additionally, Nanga Parbat offers three beautiful moderate treks, including the trek around its base.
The journey to Nanga Parbat typically involves a 10 to 12-hour drive from Islamabad to Chilas, followed by a 2 to 3-hour drive covering 129 kilometers from Chilas to Astore. From there, it’s another 30 kilometers, taking approximately 5 to 6 hours, to reach Tarashing village. Over the course of 5 to 6 days, trekkers complete the picturesque moderate trek from Tarashing to Herlingkoffer Base Camp, passing through Shaigiri, Latoba, Mazeno Base Camp, and returning to Tarashing.”
