Deosai National Park is an alpine plateau of exceptional beauty and ecological value located in the western massif of the Himalayas, east of Nanga Parbat Peak and in close proximity to the Central Karakoram Range. The plateau, with an altitude of 3500 to 5200 m., is an area of 358,400 ha. of flat but undulating plains broken by gently rolling hills and surrounded on all sides by mountains. It forms a stark contrast to much of the surrounding landscape which is made up of narrow valleys between steep mountains.
Deosai covers an area of 3000 sq Km. It has a mix of plains, plateaus, hills, streams, lakes, and mountains..
Deosai is now a national park therefore there are some restricted zones. The Parks and wildlife department of the Gilgit Baltistan government has divided the area into many zones. You can visit certain zones only. The core zone is a specially protected area for Brown Bear. There are many streams and lakes. Fishing is allowed with a license. The plateau is a plateau full of wildflowers, lakes, streams, and meadows. It is not less than a paradise on earth. A night camp at Sheosar Lake Deosai will take your soul beyond this planet. At night you can enjoy a heavenly view of the milky way galaxy and trillions of stars. You will never find such a stunning place anywhere in the world
Deosai National Park is located where two biogeographical provinces merge, in the Himalayan and Karakorum-Pamir highlands, and as a result is a place of very rich biodiversity. It is recognized as an internationally important site for the protection and conservation of the Himalayan Brown Bear, a critically endangered species. The Deosai plateau hosts the only stable population in the region and is important for its continued survival.
Deosai and Sheosar Lake form one of the highest elevation freshwater wetlands in the world. The cold alpine environment is important due to its diverse alpine flora and the rich variety of species. This biodiversity reflects the parks location where two biogeographical provinces merge as species are channelled through the Karakorum range, the main crest of the Himalayas, Zanskar range (Trans-Himalaya), Ladakh range (Trans-Himalaya) and the Indus valley.
