Astore

A hidden valley beneath Nanga Parbat's eastern flanks, and the green sanctuary of Rama Meadows.

Overview

Where the road descends from Deosai into green meadows and pine.

The Astore Valley connects Deosai with the Gilgit road and is the approach that reveals Nanga Parbat's eastern and southern faces at close quarters. Rama Meadows, at 3,200 m, is a broad pasture of extraordinary beauty — ringed by pine, looked over by the mountain, and reflected in Rama Lake. It is a place that rewards staying still.
