Itinerary description

Show original

After a jeep transfer, we arrive at the village of Jal, where there is another school founded by Messner which teaches our guide Mateen. We are hosted in his new home. Caca cola and fresh Sprite !!
We visit, in less than 2 hours from Jal, in the village of Pokarah the school funded by Paola Favero and Silke Unterkicher, in memory of her husband Karl Perito on Nanga Parbat in 2008. Welcomed by half village and teachers. Photo. We explain the operation of the school that welcomes the younger children, while the older ones go down to Jal every day.

Note: trekking can only be done with guide and bearers in tow. There are no tourist support points. Required police permit. We have used the NangaParbatAdventure.com agency with great satisfaction. The loaded tracking can not be used as a route for inaccuracy due to GPS reception difficulties in narrow valleys and canyon effect.
