The story
This destination is the visual and approach counterpart to the Fairy Meadows meadow and trek entries. Expect jeep access to Tato, a trek to the meadows, then optional continuation toward Beyal for tighter Nanga Parbat perspectives. Treat anything beyond maintained camps as adventure terrain. Best used as a planning hub for viewpoint days; climb and expedition logistics belong to separate research.
