Healed by trekking in Pakistan | Nanga Parbat

Located at the westernmost end of the Himalayas, the ninth highest peak in the world - Nanga Parbat, those who like climbing know that it also has a nickname called "Killer Peak". This has to mention the terrorist attack at the base camp that happened ten years ago. The nickname "Killer Peak" is not because of that terrorist attack, but because its climbing death rate is extremely high, and the climbing difficulty is comparable to K2. Speaking of Nanga Parbat, it is necessary to mention Messner who first climbed to the top along the world's largest rock wall - Rupal Face (a 4.5-kilometer-long ice wall). When I was cursing and turning around a big rock, Nanga Parbat suddenly appeared. What caught my eye was Nanga Parbat Rupal Face. Nature is so magical that it will surprise you when you are almost desperate. It was like a mountain gate blocking my way, the peak was clearly visible, and there were clouds around the waist of the mountain. 👀 I kept shouting Amazing, and the accompanying police uncle said don't look, let's go to the camp and enjoy it. Camping at the base camp of Rupal Face, of course, there are also local villagers providing tents and sleeping bags, and there is no need to cook instant noodles by myself at night, calling the camp boss to cook chicken rice. But if you want to go further, you need to bring your own camping equipment. I used about 7 days back and forth (I stayed at the base camp for 2 nights) because you can see the "Killer Peak" from different angles inside. I don't know if it's because of the terrorist attack ten years ago, they don't allow one person to go hiking in the mountains, either hire a guide, or they will send a police uncle to accompany you. If there is no guide, don't worry, there are police stationed at every camping point inside, and there are herdsmen, they are all very enthusiastic. Respect local customs, don't take pictures of women casually!!! Pay attention to safety! Pay attention to safety! Pay attention to safety!

Mcm biasa la kan sambil hiking ambik pic Letak la timer kat celah2 batu pokok hahaha Best hiking dengan suhu yg sejuk Masa ne bawa air 500ml ja haha- sbb cuaca x panas xada la dehydrated sgt. Finally sampai jugak di penempatan fairy meadows Jarak 13km 1jam 42min Smpai puncak suhu dah 5C sejuk gedik View mmg x mengecewakan Esok akan sambung untuk hiking ke basecamp plak- selalu org malaysia smpai sini ja 😂. Separuh nyawa hilang x hiking ke sini- xpun Untuk beginer ok ja kalo nak hiking x susah mana pun. Kat penginapan ne xada heater, xada air panas, so tido jalah x mandi sejukk.
