As it is about 3300 meters (10800 feet) above sea level, most of the
year it is covered with a blanket of snow. Only in summer time, the
valley shows its true beauty. From Rama Meadows, you can trek to east
side of the Nanga Parbat (the Killer Mountain), which is the world’s 8th
highest mountain.
The valley is flourishing with huge pine, cedar, fir and juniper trees.
However, due to recent deforestation, there has been a large loss of
forest area.
Take a look at some of the pictures of the striking meadows and
appreciate the beauty of nature.
