The Deosai rolling pastureland of rounded hills, knee deep in summer grass and flowers, inhabited by whistling marmots and boasting view of giant Mountains in the distance. It offers gentler walking then the Karakorum, with its jagged towers of granite and narrow valley. Billed as the highest plateau in the world, the Deosai stretches south for about 65 kilometers, blocking the way from Skardu via Burzil pass to Sri Nagar. A treeless wilderness?at 4000 meters un-inhabited and inhospitable winter, snow covered for eight months of the year and well-known for its ferocious wind storms, the plateau is none the less enchanted on clear august days.
