The grassland is located in the Raikhot valley, at one end of the Raikhot glacier which originates from the Nanga Parbat and feeds a stream that finally falls in the River Indus.
Nanga Parbat, the “Killer Mountain”, in Diameter, Gilgit-Baltistan, is the 9th highest mountain in the world. It rises magnificently to a height of at 26,660 feet in the western end of the Himalayas.
