Fairy Meadows

It's a tough ascent from Fairy Point to Fairy Meadows. The distance is just 5.5km, but ascending at 700m. Although the people at Fairy Point told us it was just going to take 2.5 hours at a really leisure pace, we took about 5 hours to arrive at our destination, totally exhausted. The book said the same thing as well, but it was only later that we found out it was without any load.

The trail is pretty straight forward, think anyone can trek up to Fairy Meadows without hiring a guide.


Pine trees and fir flourish in this valley, providing a welcoming shade.
