Tarishing

Tarishing - the most beautiful village of Pakistan!

Tarishing village

Situated at an altitude of around 2900 meters on southern face of Nanga Parbat, Tarishing is one of the most beautiful village of Pakistan. Village has around 250 inhabitants, main language is Shina. There is no direct transport available and you have to reach Astore first and from there its a 1 1/2 hour drive and road condition after Gorikot is very bad. We reached Jaglot from Pindi and from there we hired a taxi for Astore, from Astore we again hired a taxi which took us to Tarishing after crossing Gorikot and Chorat village. There are two hotels in the village which are Nanga Parbat and Rupal Hotel. Weather is cold in the evenings in summer and it gets untolerable in winter (around -20C).
