Nanga Parbat is actually the name of a single mountain or mountain peak. It is the name of a beautiful collection of mountain peaks. These peaks include Jellipur, Gunalo, Boldar, Chongra and Raikot Peak. The best views are from Free Meadows, Glacier View Point, German View Point and Base Camp (Saghar). Nanga Parbat 8125 The meter is high.
It is also known as Killer Mountain or Claremountain. Nanga Parbat was earlier called Samurai by the locals. This is what old people still say. Thalachi is the best view point if you want to see Nanga Parbat from KK.
The reason why it is called the killer mountain is that many adventurers and mountaineers have visited this mountain. Rizk of Bloody Snow became the leader of the British expedition for the first time. She came to Nanga Parbat in 1895.
Who jumped first?
German climber Hermann Bahl was the first to climb this killer mountain on July 3, 1953. However, around fifty people had died by then. In 1978, Meissner climbed this killer mountain alone. Germans are very related to Nanga Parbat, but Germans are lovers. Hence it is also called German Mountain.
The first Pakistani women to rule
Pakistani climbers reached the summit of Nanga Parbat on Sunday, July 2, 3023. Mountain climbers Wajdullah Nagri, Samina Baig and Naila Kayani won the honor of becoming the first Pakistani women to climb Nanga Parbat in eight minutes at 11 am on Sunday, July 2. Consider it our honor that as soon as we entered Ferry Meadows, they ran Nanga Parbat.
Naila Kayani is the first constitutional Pakistani woman, while Samina Baig is the first non-constitutional Pakistani, that is, Gilgit Baltistan woman, who ran Nanga Parbat. When we reached the jeep stop, this news was running in the national and international media. Thus we knew our deeds.
Worship and Pilgrimage to Nanga Parbat
There is also an idea that a large section of the world worships mountains. Perhaps Nanga Parbat is a sacred mountain for which these people are coming to worship and visit. A local man even said that as we go to Makkah and Madinah in the midst of war, so many people become restless for Nanga Parbat and visit it from Astor side and Bonar side too. God knows.
Depart Ferry Meadow for Glacier View Int
The ibex stayed up late in the night at the lodge. The eye was opened early in the morning, then it was closed. Then what happened at exactly 8 o’clock, Barkatullah’s younger son, nephew Safatullah was waiting for us. He gave us breakfast. Barkatullah and Saifur Rehman thought that we should rest at Ferry Meadow today and not go further to Beal Camp and Fulshear ViewPoint.
Saifur Rehman had taken a tourist with a horse to the base camp. It was decided at exactly ten o’clock that the journey to the view point should be made today. Saifur Rahman’s younger brother Mujib was now our guide. We left Ferry Meadow at half past ten and reached the cottage hotel. There Saqib, the son of Qari Rehmatullah Sahib and other friends were already waiting for us. They complained that we did not reach them for the night.
We put the whole situation in front of them and started towards Beyal camp in the company of Karamjeet, who drank tea with a milkmaid. Went and enjoyed it very much. From a point of the walking track adjacent to Ferry Meadow Cottage, there was a very beautiful view of the Nanga Parbat Glacier. Lost in it for a long time. Exactly at half past one we had reached Beyal camp.
Lucy’s Chicken at Beal Camp
Beyal camp is also a beautiful combination of nature and simplicity. Water flows through the middle of Beyal camp. On the right is the old settlement where people live with livestock. To the left is a green expanse in which hotels are now being built. Here too, hotels are being built without planning.
There are also power turbines. Bial Camp is a vast pasture between green hills on the right and left. Snow melts from different sides and the water from the middle comes in the form of waterfalls to the ferry meadow.
Initially, German and other mountaineering teams and adventurers used to come, stay there in April and May, and then go to the base camp early in the morning or at night. Does not break by walking. On the way we met Nizamuddin Malatha, he thought that today we should stop at his hotel in Byal camp or at least have lunch at his place but it was difficult for us in the first meeting. We walked.
Mujeeb said that I know his family too. We decided to drink lassi from home and not at their hotel. At the beginning of the Bial camp, a young man was eating in the first hotel, invited to eat before salam. We apologized but charged the mobile phone in their hotel and left the bag there. How are these people who immediately invite me for food? This habit of the locals is very good.
We sent Mujib to Nizamuddin’s house and found that those people had not yet come from Goonar Farm. Mujeeb brought lassi from another house, which he drank to his heart’s content.
Rain and weather pranks in Bial Camp
As soon as we reached Beyal camp, which is called by the local people as “Beyalah”, the sky started getting cloudy. Just in front, the peak of Pat on Nanga was covered with clouds. In the meantime, it started drizzling. A large number of tourists were present at the glacier view point, who began to turn back in rows.
Right now we were in the same dilemma whether to go back to the view point anyway or take the way back fearing the rain. We decided in moments. Anyway Raikot went to Fulshear View point and left. Our guide Mujeeb went to return the jug of Lassi. We waited for him and started walking fast from the camp towards the view point. We had no idea how far we had to go to the view point, but while drinking lassi at Beyal camp, Mujeeb was saying again and again, “There is a little way.”
I was afraid that you have a family with you, do not go further, there is also an uphill climb. There is no water on the way. They walked in the shadow of fear and clouds. In the meantime, a Gujjar brother brought a group, the friends of the group with him were also forbidding, but the Gujjar brother said in Shina language that it is only a fifteen-minute journey, go anyway, there is no need to be afraid.
Our guide, Mujib, also arrived in this conflict and said that it is a little further. We were sitting and commenting. Mujeeb and Lubni were saying again and again that you should breathe a sigh of relief, these clouds should clear and the sun should come out. What happened was that we had just reached the glacier view point, not only had the rain stopped but the whole area had cleared, the sun was shining everywhere.
It was estimated that the Scom mobile signal in Raikot and the rain was not detectable, when they come and when they go. The teasing of both goes on continuously and people enjoy and go happily.
Raikot Glacier View Point
What is called Nanga Parbat View Point is actually Raikot Glacier View Point. There is a huge stone or rock, on which the green crescent flag of Pakistan hangs all the time. A good view of Nanga Parbat is from Fermi Meadow. From this viewpoint, a better view is from Byal Camp. However, the view of the glacier from here is very spectacular. Hence it is better to name it as Glacier View Point.
Millions of tons of male and female ice
Here is the Eagle Nest Hotel owned by Hanan. He introduced himself and asked him to make some tea. And then got busy seeing Nananga Parbat and Raikot Glacier. Right in front of me stood Nanga Parbat, and its peak. And above Nanga Parbat was a sheet of millions of tons of ice and at its foot was the Raikot Glacier.
This snow was piled up in the form of a vast field of snow. Raikot Glacier consists of male and female ice. The color of the male ice is brown while the color of the female ice is white. One end of the Raikot Glacier is near Ferry Meadow and the other, at the foot of Nananga Parbat.
The glacier continues to grow due to the fusion of male and female. Three peaks are clearly visible from here. One is called Silver Peak, the sun would appear from this. But his awe did not leave his heart.
Giant mountains and majestic glaciers
This whole giant mountain was staring at us with wide eyes. The child of the tyrant will kill many. When the sun began to shine, the snow of Nanga Parbat began to shine like silver. In the early days of July, when the sun rises, it is very bright.
The snow is melting and the water is flowing. On top of the millions of tons of ice contained in the Raikot Glacier are large and small boulders. From the middle, when the snow starts to fall under the pugal or is buried, the stones also start falling from above, which creates a scary situation.
It seems as if stones are falling from above in the Karakoram highway. If the ice of the glacier melts and breaks, a terrible sound would be made. It seems like the glasses of a big building are shattering.
Arrival of pleasant thoughts and tea drinking
Lubni was surprised to see all this. I don’t know what she will think. Peaceful thoughts will enter everyone’s heart and mind. We were also going through the same situation. Probably everyone is passing by. I don’t know how many times I have seen Nanga Parbat and Raikot Glacier from the view point.
To tell the truth, my heart is not full. In the meantime, Hanan’s tea arrived and we sat down on the side of the green on the way to the German viewpoint. The heart was very happy to see the cup of tea. In the entire journey to Raikot, I did not get to drink such wonderful tea anywhere. There was already a desire for tea, but Hanan Kaka’s tea was so wonderful that it became even more fun. He is also the owner of the hotel and a cook himself. Rather, he is a regular professional cook in a government department.
Return via base camp route
After tea we were supposed to go to the German view point, we started from the lower path towards the base camp. After walking for a long time, there was an abundant amount of water falling from the top of the waterfall which was disappearing inside the glacier.
From the view point to the base camp, the snow melts from the peaks of Nanga Parbat in three places. After noon, the water becomes very fast and high, which makes it difficult to cross. We decided to return by water first, meanwhile Mujeeb’s elder brother Fazal Malik brought a group and his horse. He wanted to give us the horse but on our refusal, he walked towards the view point and we slowly started to return.
Those people came from the base camp, we were too late so we postponed the intention of the base camp, the journey was also quite difficult and the route was also difficult. The way from Glacier View Point to Base Camp is rough and steep. Back at View Point, Fazal Malik was waiting there. Hanan opened his hotel room and we had the same food. For a long time I and Lubni were sitting there. We had a lot of fun. The food was also very tasty. German Viewpoint
Thirty minutes from the Glacier View Point, on a slightly steeper path, there is also the German View Point. Germans used to camp here, hence it is called German Viewpoint. Local people say that a German died there, hence its name is known as German Viewpoint.
At Beal Camp there are a couple of memorials which are said to be the graves of Germans who died during the campaign. Anyway, at four o’clock we started back to Ferry Meadow from Glacier View Point. Now we had to walk. In three hours we reached Ferry Meadow Cottage, half an hour before sunset.
Sunrise and sunset and Albela view at Nanga Parbat
I had heard that there is a great view of sunrise and sunset on the peaks of Nanga Parbat. And this view from Ferry Meadow is amazing. This time we watched the sunset from Ferry Meadow Cottage and had a long tilak. Well taken pictures. It’s a beautiful scene. The mind is stunned by this natural fact. It seems that the sun has turned red, but it may not be so.
Sunset vision and poetic imagination
Seeing this sunset view from the greenery of Ferry Meadow Cottage, poetic imaginations were naturally to arise. Poetic imagination is not born only on poets, every heart feels this condition. Poets and writers simply clothe this state or imagination with words. When this situation arises, romanticism is reflected everywhere. Waves of emotions are rising in the heart and mind. Emotions that are immeasurable.
Scientific and Quranic reality and common people like us
Students of social and religious studies like us look at such opportunities from a different angle, but experts of scientific studies say something else. It is said that sunrise and sunset is a purely scientific fact. But to tell the truth, I don’t even know this fact. There are great details of it in the Qur’an too.
I don’t want to go that way either. I just wanted to see the scene of the sunset, I saw it and engraved this scene on the pages of my heart forever. Scholars and scientists will continue to solve its problems. It should be solved. Seeing such scenes, something will be revealed to the people of the heart. But ordinary people like us only take so much influence from this cosmic system of God that faith in it becomes stronger.
This is the view of the sunrise in the morning from Ferry Meadow Cottage. I also saw it. After writing this paragraph, I went to sleep late at night, and in my dream I saw the sunrise on Chongra Peak of Nanga Parbat. Allah, these magical scenes entertained everywhere.
