Beginning of the Hike
The jeep road ends at Tato and its the very start of trail to Fairy Meadows. One can spend a night here and start an early morning hike to Fairy Meadows since the trail is also hot and dry and can be a bit strenuous for amateur hikers. From Tato, in about 90 mins, trail passes through a small pine forest, which is also known as mid-point. From here on Fairy Meadows is a hike of another hour through few steep pin loops rising above the forest, with an unhindered view of Nanga Parbat and Raikot Glacier. One can also hire porters or horses for one / two way trip to Fairy Meadows from Tato.
