Nanga Parbat massif is the western corner pillar of the Himalayas. It is an isolated range of peaks just springing up from nothing and is surrounded by the rivers Indus and Astore. Nanga Parbat or “Nanga Parvata” means the naked mountain. It’s original and appropriate name, however, is Diamir the “King Of The Mountains”. Nanga Parbat (main peak) has a height of 8126 meters/26,660 ft.

 It has three vast faces.

  • The Rakhiot (Ra Kot) face is dominated by the north and south silver crags and silver plateau.
  • The Diamir face is rocky in the beginning. It converts itself into ice fields around the higher end of the peak.
  • The Rupal face is the highest precipice in the world. Reinhold Messner, a living legend in mountaineering from Italy has said “every one who has ever stood at the foot of this face (4500 meters) up above the ‘Tap Alpe’; studied it or flown over it, could not help but have been amazed by its sheer size. Nanga Parbat is indisputably the highest rock and ice wall in the world!

Nanga Parbat is one of the most desired prizes for mountaineers. Climbing the killer instinct mountain in the icy gravities of Himalayan twilight seems like madness, but the world’s best mountaineers can’t just sleep without putting their passion to the test. Just like mount K2, Nanga Parbat is the ultimate challenge for the world’s veteran mountaineers.
