Fairy Meadows, Protected area in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.
Located at 3,300 meters elevation near Nanga Parbat, this protected area contains extensive green grasslands surrounded by dense alpine forests of pine and birch trees.
German mountaineers named this area in the 1930s, and it became a national park in 1995 after serving as a crucial stop along ancient Silk Road trading routes.
The Balti people inhabit this region, maintaining their traditions through music, dance performances, and festivals that reflect their Kashmiri and Balti heritage.
Access requires a 12-kilometer jeep ride from Raikot Bridge to Tato village, followed by a 5-kilometer trek, with visits recommended between April and September.
The area contains Pinus wallichiana trees that share biological characteristics with their distant relatives, the Pinus peuce species found in the Balkans.
