Adeel KhanLahore, Pakistan★★★★★
Waking up to Nanga Parbat right outside our tent was one of the most magical travel moments of my life.
Sara AhmedKarachi, Pakistan★★★★★
The jeep ride up is intense but the guides were very experienced. Totally worth it.
Bilal HussainIslamabad, Pakistan★★★★
Basic facilities since it's off-grid, but that's part of the charm. Bring warm clothes even in summer.
