Rupal Face, Nanga Parbat

Hiking below the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat, one of the tallest mountain walls on earth.

From the trip

The Rupal Face is the south side of Nanga Parbat, a wall of rock and ice that rises roughly 4,600 metres from the valley floor. Nothing prepares you for the scale of it.

The route goes up the Rupal valley from Tarashing village, past summer pastures, towards the base camps. We set up camp along the way, cooked together and shared lunch with that view in front of us. You can see the group in the video.

Planning this trip? My tips

  • ✦Reach Astore first, then Tarashing by jeep or bike. The road is rough in places.
  • ✦A quick-pitch tent saves a lot of effort at the end of a long hiking day.
  • ✦Carry a stove. There are no dhabas once you leave the village.
