MAZENO PASS TREK

This journey takes us to Nanga Parbat, an extraordinary mountain in the western most part of the mighty Himalayas, located in Gilgit Baltistan . It has its name from Sanskrit, meaning “The Naked Mountain” for its sheer slopes that hardly ever hold snow and the locals call it Diamir which means “The King of the Mountains” in Urdu. It is famous for its tremendous vertical relief over the surrounding terrain in all directions. Ridges and peaks of rock and ice rise imposingly up to 8, 126 meters. Dreamed by many climbers, it is also known as “The Killer Mountain” as it is one of the most dangerous peaks to climb that have cost the lives of many before it was conquered for the first time by Herman Buhl in 1953, and many after, including the brother of the notorious climber – Reinhold Messner – Gunther, who lost his life in 1970 on the descent of the Diamir Face. The landscape and the feelings that overcome when standing close in front of the giant are stunning, making us fell serene and hold our breath.
