Fairy Meadows (Urdu: فیری میڈوز), named by German climbers (German Märchenwiese, "fairy tale meadows")[1][2] and locally known as Joot,[3] is an area of grassland near one of the base camp sites of Nanga Parbat, located in Diamer District in Gilgit-Baltistan region in Pakistan.[4] At an altitude of about 3,300 metres (10,800 ft) above sea level, it serves as the launching point for mountaineers summiting Nanga Parbat by the Rakhiot face.[4][5] In 1995, the Government of Pakistan declared Fairy Meadows a National Park.[6][7]
