Deo Sai plains tour

Ratings:
5/5

Deosai plateau is the habitat of wild animals, especially the greatly threatened Himalayan Brown Bear. Today, it has been turned into park that shelters and protects wildlife.

This plateau lies 32 km to the southwest of Skardu and can be reached via the Satpara Lake. It has an average height of 3,500 meters (11,660 feet), is 70 km across, and links Baltistan with the Astore Valley.

Deosai National Park is a place of rich biodiversity owing to its location, where two biogeographically located provinces in the Himalayan and Karakoram-Pamir highlands merge.

Deosai National Park has its OUV (outstanding universal value) due to its biodiversity conservation role, not for one key species like the Brown Bear, but a general collection of fauna species.

The park’s location in the western Himalayas, classified as an Endemic Bird Area by Birdlife International, is important as a resting and breeding ground of internationally important residential and migratory birds.
