Whenever I visited Northern Areas I always had a plan to explore Desoai, about 30 from Skardu. a plateaus among high mountains and unique landscape in the world with an average height of 4114 metres above the sea level, covering 3,000 square kilometers. It is snow bound area, surrounded by snowy mountains exceeding 5,000 meters in height and suspended glaciers. However, enjoying real beauty and crystal clear water streams with snow covered peaks in the background covered by a carpet of millions of wild flowers begin to bloom all over the lush green grassland is May-September. Every year local and foreign tourists go to the area. Deosai is at the distance of 30 Kms and accessible with a narrow track from Skardu in the north. There is alternate route through Astore Valley, in the west, which is rather easy route.Gilgit to Astore onwards is a wide jeepable track which winds through beauty valleys.
Deosai Plains make up one of the last frontiers of natural habitat for the Himalayan Brown Bear, a creature that once roamed the mountains freely and multitude of Golden Marmots. There is Deosai National Park, established in 1993 to protect & survival of the bear and its habitat. The Deosai Plains are interlaced with streams, also home to the Himalayan Ibex, Red Fox, Wolf, the Ladakh Urial, the Snow Leopard, and over large number of resident and migratory birds. Birds in the National Park include the Golden Eagle, Lammergeier, Griffon Vulture, Laggar Falcon, Peregrine Falcon, Kestrel, Indian Sparrowhawk and Snowcock..
The Deosai Plains are also home to the Himalayan Ibex, Red Fox, Golden Marmot, Wolf, the Ladakh Urial, the Snow Leopard, and over 124 resident and migratory birds. Birds in the park include the Golden Eagle, Lammergeier, Griffon Vulture, Laggar Falcon, Peregrine Falcon, Kestrel, Indian Sparrowhawk and Snowcock.
