Hiking to Nanga Parbat Base Camp

We made it to Nanga Parbat Base Camp after a tough two-day hike: first day hit us with a 700m incline and brutal heat all the way to Fairy Meadows, second day pushed another 800m up to Nanga Parbat Base Camp. Bonus challenge: unexpected glacier crossing. And just when we thought we were done — rain and hail on the way back. Still, standing beneath the “Killer Mountain”, was something else — raw, massive, unforgettable.
