  • 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.

It's amazing to know Rakaposhi with your point of view! Getting inspirations to go again but this time as hiker!
