Fairy Meadows

Fairy Meadows, named by German climbers (German Märchenwiese, "fairy tale meadows") and locally known as Joot, is an area of grassland near one of the base camp sites of Nanga Parbat, located in Diamer District in Gilgit-Baltistan region in Pakistan. At an altitude of about 3,300 metres (10,800 ft) above sea level, it serves as the launching point for mountaineers summiting Nanga Parbat by the Rakhiot face. In 1995, the Government of Pakistan declared Fairy Meadows a National Park.
