About Nangma Valley Meadows

Nangma Valley Meadows are the upper trekking flats in the Nangma side valley, Ghanche, Baltistan — usually around 3,950 m (≈12,959 ft). After camping at Mingulu Broq on the walk in, trekkers move here (or day-hike from Mingulu) for the classic view of the Towers of Nangma Valley and K6 on clear mornings.

This is the core Nangma Valley sightseeing moment for walkers: wide grass, vertical granite walls, and no motor road. Climbing teams use the same meadows as summer base camps; fit trekkers only need a supported camp and a guide.

On PTG Nangma packages

Our 5 days Nangma Valley tour by air schedules a full day toward these meadows from Mingulu Broq camp. The 8 days by road uses the same four-night trek block after Chilas and Skardu road days.
