Rama Meadow & Lake Tour
Astore's alpine gem — Rama Meadow, Rama Lake and the face of Nanga Parbat.
Published June 18, 2026 Pakistan Travellers Team 5 min read
Quick answer
How do you visit Rama Meadow and Rama Lake near Astore?
Rama Meadow sits at about 3,000 m above Astore in Gilgit Baltistan, with glacial Rama Lake a short ride higher and the face of Nanga Parbat beyond. Pakistan Travellers arranges the drive to Astore, the jeep transfer up to the meadow and camping or guesthouse stays, usually across a 4-6 day Astore-region trip.
- Astore is about a day's travel from Islamabad via the Karakoram Highway.
- Best June to September for green meadows and clear Nanga Parbat views.
- Pairs with Deosai and Minimarg on a longer Astore-region itinerary.
Rama Meadow and Rama Lake, above the town of Astore, are among the most beautiful alpine settings in Gilgit Baltistan — wide green meadows and pine forest opening to a glacial lake, all beneath the towering east face of Nanga Parbat, the 'Killer Mountain'. Cooler and quieter than the big valleys, Rama is a favourite for camping, photography and gentle walks. Our tours arrange the Astore drive, the jeep to Rama and stays.

About Rama Meadow and Lake
Rama Meadow sits at about 3,000 m above Astore, a lush expanse of grass and pine with Nanga Parbat looming beyond. A short walk or jeep ride above the meadow reaches Rama Lake, a still glacial pool that mirrors the peaks. The whole area is a peaceful, high-alpine retreat perfect for a night under canvas.
How to get there
Astore is reached from the Karakoram Highway near Jaglot — roughly a day's travel from Islamabad, or a short hop from Gilgit. From Astore town a jeep track climbs to Rama Meadow. Our packages include the transport and the local jeep transfer.
Best time to visit
Summer (June–September) is the season — green meadows, open jeep tracks and the best Nanga Parbat views. Autumn adds golden tones. Winter buries the area in snow and closes access, so we run Rama trips in the warm months.

BUILT AROUND YOU
Most Rama & Astore trips are fully customised
We rarely sell a fixed, off-the-shelf tour. Instead we build each itinerary around your dates, group size, pace and budget — and confirm hotels based on live availability for your travel window. Your total package cost comes down to just two choices:
1 · Your vehicle
A private 4×4 with a trained mountain driver, sized to your group. For a smooth, comfortable mountain journey we usually recommend the Toyota Prado TZ, though the full range — from sedans to Land Cruisers, Grand Cabins and Coasters — is available depending on your group size.
2 · Your hotel standard
Choose from four tiers — Standard, Executive, Luxury and Premium. Same route, elevated comfort at each step. Premium and 5★ stays such as Shangrila, Broqand other resorts deliver the best locations and views; these raise the total but are worth it for a special trip.
