"Fairy Meadows + Nanga Parbat"
@tomasmontobbio
"At the west end of the Himalayas, the Nanga Parbat offers the mountaineer its 8,114 m of steep slope overlooking the banks of the Indus. Nanga Parbat means in Sanskrit “the naked mountain”, but the inhabitants of the west flank call it Diamir, “king of the mountains”. Indeed, nothing prepares the traveler who arrives from the wooded valleys of Kashmir for the sudden appearance of this sparkling monster of glaciers: it is a breathtaking spectacle. Elves and Yetis But the Nanga Parbat has a bad reputation. In less than a century, more than thirty people, including seventeen experienced Sherpas, have perished in attempts at ascension. A kafir tale tells how a man lost in the mountain discovered the Elve Palace of Nanga Parbat. The sparkling crystal palace stood in a garden where grew a tree with branches loaded with pearls. The man picked them up but, as he left, he saw snakes chasing him. Terrified, he threw the pearls and went home... but died four days later: elves do not forgive those who discover their secrets. Another legend says that a prehistoric monster, the yeti, haunts the mountain in its most remote corners. No reliable photo has ever been taken, but many claim to have seen the beast or its footprints. The mountaineer Don Whillans, for example, would have seen a creature “with a monkey gait” cross the snow in the moonlight. The belief in the existence of the yeti is so strong that some Sherpas take the precaution of carrying “anti-yeti” wood, the smell of which is supposed to remove the animal. The summits fiercely keep their secrets. They remain splendid and ethereal, inaccessible to ordinary mortals. An ancient Hindu text states: “Just like dew in the sun, triviality melts at the sight of the Kingdom of Snow, eternally pure. ” Mount Everest, whose local name is Sagarmatha, “the summit of Paradise”, is the highest in the world. The conquest of this summit was carried out in 1953 by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, but it is possible that George Mallory and Andrew Irvine, who disappeared in the mountain in 1924, reached it first."
