Raikot Bridge is a road bridge situated on the Karakoram Highway, spanning the River Indus. It is the gateway to Nanga Parbat base camp, in Diamer District, Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan.[1][2]
From there, the Highway continues all the way up to Khunjerab Pass and into China. Alternatively, tourists can hire jeeps from the Bridge and follow an unmetalled track to Tattu Village, a journey which takes around 90 minutes.[3][4][5] A further three-hour hike takes one to the Fairy Meadows National Park.[6]
