Is Fairy Meadows Worth the Hype? | Hiking in PAKISTAN
Welcome to Fairy Meadows, one of Pakistan's renowned trekking destinations! In this video, I set out to discover if this popular spot lives up to the hype, and explore a lesser-known part of the trail: Beyal Camp and Nanga Parbat view point.
👀 What to expect
Join me on this hike as I share my firsthand experience of Fairy Meadows, debunking the myth of it being overly touristy. Surprisingly, the trail was calm and peaceful, and I especially enjoyed the part of the trek leading up to Beyal Camp.
🗺️ Trail insights
* duration: 3 hours from the Starting point to Fairy Meadows - 2 hours from Fairy Meadows to Beyal Camp - 1 hour from Beyal camp to Nanga Parbat view point.
* best Time to Visit: We visited in October, avoiding the peak season. Fewer crowds, more serenity!
* don’t skip out on Nanga Parbat view point, which comes just after Beyal Camp.

STOP STARING AT FOREIGNERS...IT REALLY REALLY MAKE THEN UNCOMFORTABLE AND MAKE YOU LOOK LIKE AS IF U ALL ARE PER+++++VERT
Few years for turning 50 now.. I started to travel the world in 1998, for 6 month/ year.. did my 72h week work for 6 monst and saved all the money i could to go se the world... When you are younger, you can feel the magic and it is the most beautiful feeling... Later when you get older you start to do the same thing everyday, and time starts to fly by so fast.. STAY YOUNG in heart my friends and life will treat you good... Traveling is the best.. 46 countries and countring so far
I am sitting here in Amersfoort, Netherlands and it’s cold, dark and rainy. Somehow this video suddenly popped up on my timeline. I am from Pakistan and this made me feel nostalgic, bit of homesick but also gave me a warm feeling inside. Thank you for making this, your style is very simple and relatable and thankfully not like so many pretentious KZreadrs. Wish you happy times ahead and keep making more of such videos.

Pakistan reports an average of 51 rapes a day; fewer than 2 percent of those rapes lead to court convictions.
Very nice experience. Right now im in Czechia 🇨🇿 3 years back I visited FairyMeadows. The best month to visit to FairyMeadows is August. My Dutch and Norwegian friends are planning to visit Pakistan and definitely we will visit FairyMeadows too 😊

Recebtly came back from Japan and Dubai... Both countries are absolutely amazing. People are amazing too ❤ but i missed Pakistan there alot. Pakistan is unexplored and extremely underrated
You people are blessed to have a heart full of love for nature. Pakistan is full of natural beauty.
Surreal views. Great picture quality. Amazing vlog. Craving for more. Thankyou for bringing light to Pakistan beauty.
It's amazing I visited fairy meadows twice. You didn't find any tourists because it was off season time. If you will go in May to Aug you will find plenty of tourists.
A beautiful V-log from two wonderful travelers. Glad to hear the words 'Pakistan is a hiker's paradise' A word of caution to all foreigners who are traveling or visiting Pakistan, please always keep the local civil administration or police in the loop about your whereabouts so that they can provide you proper security. Though Pakistan is generally safe the possibility of any accident or uncalled-for situation could not be overruled which my jeopardize the image of Pakistan and its 250 million people across the globe!
This is mindblowing stuff Flora. You are doing an amazing job. Keep bringing these north Pakistan videos! Hiking Queen 💙

Hello You both are very lucky you have probably visited Pakistan off peak season as one can assume when I saw the snow around and colour of grass is light brown which is the indication that you most probably visited in OCTOBER/ NOVEMBER and that is fully off peak season and if you would come in June / July you would see dozens of groups of young guys and Girls came from every part of Pakistan. Your time to visit this part of Pakistan is off peak season and visit to the area at this time is extremely excellent decision and off course save some money too .
Lovely video, thankyou for vising and putting Pakistan on the map for others. Pakistan is an extremely hospitable country, but I hope you have been tipping people along the way too. Much love
Awesome, glad I found this.

It was magical, captured beautifully. Fairy meadows in Autumn looks magical, thats the beauty of these places that they changte evey season with its own unique beauty, which dates were these exactly when u visited. Also I would agree 100% so many more gems in Pakistan and many even not known to locals and not visited by anyone at all. Did u goto Shandoor the road from Gilgit to Shandur via Phanader is just magical both in Summer and Autumn with both v diff fro each other but Autumn there is iconic, not much big mountains but v beautiful road trip a tough one thou due to bad road. BTW , these videos r so good that very hard to believe these are ur first few vlogs, only complain is subtitles arre hard to read with yellow color.

Thanks for visiting our beautiful country. The reason why there are not many tourists is that in Pakistan people prefer to travel to the North in summer more, to enjoy the cold weather along with scenic views.
Dear Flora, Thank you for the amazing video on Pakistan! Your portrayal of its beauty and culture is truly captivating. Keep up the fantastic work!
One of the best videos covering the Fairy Meadows and showing real beauty there. Ufff 🔥
Thank to upload an amazing video of my paradise Pakistan 🎉
thankyou so much for exploring our beautiful country. your videos are wonderful and im glad to have come across your channel. doing the fairy meadows hike was the best experience of my life and it made me feel happy to relive it through this video. may Allah bless you
Amazing so beautiful view thanks ❤
Great to see you enjoy a beautiful place , would love to follow your footsteps ❤
Those landscapes are just so stunning and out of this world. It looks like a fantasy video game.
Straight out of movies. Isn't it! Just magical! I wonder what would be the paradise if that's just in this world. Just wow. SubhanAllah. ❤
loved the storytelling and the calmness in the video overall!
Lovely video. Waiting eagerly for the next video and also try main cities food.
Really enjoyed your vlog of fairy meadows. I was there a few months back it was magical. But there were some crazy landsliding in those days. Good to see you enjoying the jeep ride and the hike.
Hey Flora, thanks for these eye-opening videos. such beautiful scenery indeed Pakistan has some of the most beautiful mountain areas, Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occur while you’re climbing it. keep exploring and I am looking forward to seeing more from you ........
Ma sha Allah it's blessing to have this beautiful land
Simply amazing country! loved it
Thank you so much for exploring our country, much appreciated
Great Vlog. Loved the cinematography. Northern Pakistan is indeed a hiker's paradise. Being brought up in Pakistan i have done fair share of them but haven't done Fairy Meadows. Hopefully will hike it in next visit back home. Happy adventures
