Front-row view of Nanga Parbat
Cabins and porch are oriented so the mountain is the first thing you see at sunrise. The orange light on the snow is what guests come for.
Fairy Meadows · 3,306 m · A front-row seat to the Killer Mountain
Wake up to the Killer Mountain glowing at your doorstep.
Hand-built wooden cabins on an alpine meadow at 3,306 m — where Nanga Parbat rises uninterrupted from the porch, the air smells of pine and woodsmoke, and the only alarm clock is the first light on the snow.

01The House on the Meadow
A small house in a wide place — five minutes from the village, an entire mountain from the ordinary.
Broad View sits in a clearing of pine and alpine meadow at 3,306 metres. From the porch the line of Nanga Parbat (8,126 m) is unobstructed — the ninth highest mountain on earth, framed like a painting.
The house draws guests who care less about thread counts and more about the colour of light at six in the morning. There is a fire most nights and tea always.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get to Fairy Meadows from Islamabad?
The journey from Islamabad to Fairy Meadows takes 12–14 hours over two days. Drive 8–10 hours up the Karakoram Highway to Raikot Bridge, switch to a hired 4×4 jeep for the 16 km Tattu jeep track, then walk the final 3 km uphill to the meadow at 3,306 m elevation.
When is the best time to visit Broad View Hotel?
Fairy Meadows is open from May through October. Mid-June to mid-September gives the most reliable Nanga Parbat visibility, the warmest nights (lows 8–12 °C), and clear footpaths to Beyal Camp. Snow closes the jeep track from late October to April.
