Nanga Parbat, the ninth highest mountain in the world, is located in the Diamir District of Gilgit, Pakistan. The word "Nanga Parbat" is derived from Sanskrit, meaning "The Naked Mountain". Also known as Diamer or Deo Mir, this peak is infamous for its difficult climb and climber fatalities.

Lying to the south of the Indus River and marking the western end of the Karakoram range to the north, Nanga Parbat is one of the most prominent peaks globally. In 1895, Albert F Mummery led an expedition to the peak, marking the beginning of its mountaineering history.

Nanga Parbat is considered the most intimidating rock on the planet, requiring an extreme level of expertise and hard work to overcome. At least 31 people have lost their lives attempting to climb it. However, the base camp is relatively approachable.

The honor of climbing Nanga Parbat belongs to Simon Moro from Italy, Alex Txikon from Spain, and Ali Sadpara from Pakistan. Striking views of Nanga Parbat can be enjoyed from Fairy Meadows, adding to the allure and mystique of this majestic mountain.
