Chilas to Fairy Meadows
Date: April 30th, 2007
Location: Chilas, Raikot Bridge, Tato Village, Fairy Meadows
Reached Chilas after 12 hours of travelling on GT Road and KKH. After reaching Chilas, getting freshed and having breakfast, we decided to continue our journey to Raikot Bridge for Fairy Meadows. We started our journey near 8:40AM by taxi from Chilas local bus stand. It cost us almost 13 USD. We reached RaiKot after one hour 50 minutes. Part of this album is covering sight scenes captured from inside the cab along the KKH. From Raikot we were almost 20 KMs away from Fairy Meadows. The next journey was very dangerous and we were not aware of it until we were on the Jeep track. After too much negotiations with Jeep owner, he was agreed on 43 USD for complete round trip on next day. After covering 15 KM distance in an hour we reached at the point where we have to start our trekking. We started hiking near 12:20PM and reached at 3:40PM evening. It was one of the unique experiences of our life to trek on such dangerous track where it narrows to few inches and only space to place single foot.
