Fairy Meadows named by German climbers in a German word Märchenwiese meaning “fairy tale meadows” and locally known as Joot, is grassland located in the lap of Nanga Parbat. At an altitude of about 3,300 metres (10,800 ft) above sea level, it serves as a launching point for trekkers summiting on the Raikot face of the Nanga Parbat. In 1995, the Government of Pakistan declared Fairy Meadows a National Park. Fairy Meadows is approachable by fifteen kilometer-long jeep-able trek starting from Raikot Bridge on Karakoram Highway to the village Tato. The dangerous and narrow gravel mountain road from the bridge to the village is only open to local tour operators, who provide transportation to tourists. In 2013, the World Health Organization declared it the second deadliest road on the planet. From Tato onward, it takes about three to four hours hiking by a five kilometer trek to Fairy Meadows. The grassland is located in the Raikot valley, at one end of the Raikot glacier which originates from Nanga Parbat and feeds a stream that finally falls in the River Indus. Since 1992, locals have operated camping sites in the area. Above all, Fairy Meadows is a true picture of a pure organic valley.
