Deosai National Park
Deosai Plains are part of the Deosai National Park. The plains are located above the tree line and at an average height of over 4000 metres (13,500 feet) above sea level, the Deosai Plains are among the highest plateaus in the world. The Deosai Plains cover an area of almost 3,000 square kilometers. For just over half the year - between November and May - Deosai is snow-bound. In the summer months when the snow clears up, Deosai is accessible from Skardu in the north and the Astore Valley in the west. Deosai is well known for its spring season when it is covered by a carpet of millions of flowers and a wide variety of butterflies.

Our trip to Deosai
We took a jeep from Skardu to Satpara Lake and continued towards Deosai Plains. We stayed overnight at "Bara Pani" next to the iconic bridge. It was pretty cold at night even in August and the next day it started to rain and it got even colder, but luckily we were exiting Deosai that day so we didn't face a hard time. We exited Deosai from Chilm (Chilam) Chaukee and we met another group that entered Deosai that day from Chilm and we felt sorry for their troubles ahead. So if you're visiting Deosai, try to find the forecast or pray that you don't get any rain.
