- Jeeps will drop you off about 10 minutes beyond the village of Tattu in a parking area. Before you leave the driver, make sure you relay to him your expected date and time of return; the more exact the better. Take his information as well, including name, phone number, and maybe even a picture, just to be on the safe side. This is your ride back to Raikot Bridge.
After the parking area, you will walk about 5 minutes before reaching a teahouse, crossing a stream along the way. This is the beginning of the hike up to Fairy Meadows. It’s also where people can arrange horse porters.
Horses are commonly used as pack animals on the trail to Fairy Meadows. Owners will charge people by the kilo to carry gear up, at a rate of 150 rupee per kilo. If you want to ride the horse up, the rate is 3500 rupee one way or 6000 round trip.
In all honestly, I don’t recommend using horses at all, either as a porter or a ride. For one thing, the horses are treated very poorly and have become quite ill-tempered because of this. For another, it’s best not to support such treatment of animals.
Ultimately, the hike up to Fairy Meadows isn’t that bad either. The trail is 5 km long and has 700 meters of altitude gain. It takes between 2-3 hours to complete.
The first half of the trail is along the wall of the canyon and is mostly exposed. There are no real steep bits. If you’re walking at midday during summer, the trail can be very hot though.
Once you reach the misleadingly named Midway Hotel, you’re more than halfway.
The rest of the trail is through some lovely, shady pine forest. After about 30 minutes, you will start gaining elevation more rapidly. Eventually, to your right, there will be a steep section referred to as the “˜Local Way’. If you don’t want to deal with it, you can skip it and take a much gentler switchback, referred to as the “˜Horse Way’, up ahead.
At this point, you will have almost reached Fairy Meadows. Continue along the ridgeline until you reach a creek. Just beyond, there is another steep local path that takes you up right behind the Greenland Guesthouse.
