Is this the NEW Fairy Meadows? | Hiking to RAKAPOSHI base camp in Pakistan

Join me as I hike to Rakaposhi Base Camp in Northern Pakistan, a trek that many are comparing to the legendary Fairy Meadows. Could this be Pakistan’s next must-do hike? Let’s find out!
What's in this video:
*Hitchhiking to Minapin: Our adventure begins with a hitchhiking trip from Aliabad to the starting point of our trek.
*Arrival in Minapin: Discover the charming village of Minapin and my favorite pre-hike snack spot, Osho Thang.
*The Hike: Experience the stunning, rugged beauty of the trail, complete with playful goats and fairy tale-like meadows.
*Hapakun: Spend a night under the stars at Hapakun, a beautiful place to camp.
*Glacier view point: Witness the breathtaking sight of Rakaposhi’s glacier as we make our way to the base camp.
Follow my journey as I explore one of Pakistan’s most beautiful hikes and decide whether Rakaposhi could be the next Fairy Meadows.

    Dear Flora. I am a traveler from Russia, we have been traveling in Pakistan for 2 weeks with my wife, yesterday I drove from skardu to hunza and accidentally saw your video. Thanks a lot, we stayed in minapin and went all the way to the top one day. This is a place of power! This is the best place I've been!!!
