Deosai National Park

Reviewed By Ranger_ofthe_North - Abbottabad, Pakistan

Deosai Plains is a 70 x 30 km plain between Astore and Skardu. It is one of the highest large plains in the world at a height of 13700 feet above sea level. The most interesting feature is the flowing water through the plain. In good old days the vehicles used to cross the water struggling to fight the flow and the obstacles in the rivers. Now, bridges have been built over the rivers.... However, I personally believe that these bridges, made of concrete have spoiled the beauty of the region. From Astore, one has to reach up to Chillam Chowky where one enters the Deosai Plain. Right in the beginning, there is a lake... The SheoSar, which literally means 'blind lake' because the exit of water from the lake was considered hidden. The total crossing may take many hours. 3 to 4. or longer. But the track across the plain is pretty much levelled, gravel type road, with easy crossings. A 4WD is recommended but not essential. The area has brown bear, that are usually far away from the road and from the tourist traffick. People interested in watching bears have to detour and go sideways quite a long way. However, in winter season, these bear come quite near the areas occupied by humans. A few tent hotels have cropped up here and there. However, solid construction is prohibited in the area because government has declared this a national park. A nice place to visit

Upper Kachura Lake

Reviewed By arbabytes - Skardu, Pakistan

It has been twice that i visited this place and everytime it gave an unforgettable experience. A beautiful lake, preserved its natural beauty as it is, gives one of the most scenic views that one may have experienced. Boating is one of the main activities. Complete boat can be booked for 2000 rupees (around $15). A place called Nazara Hotel is just a small hike away from lake. Its peaceful ppace which serves the trout fish. Fish and view of the lake is the prize of this hotel that is worth every penny.
