Know before you go

Deosai National Park Tour is an amazing light adventure for families, friends, students, couples, and, in fact, everyone. The national park is a must-see for every Pakistani at least once in life. Many international tourists appreciate the natural environment by flying to the area from thousands of miles away. Also known as the Land of Giants, the Deosai Plains provide the perfect environment for camping. The average height is 4,000 m. The area is covered with lush green grass, streams, mountains, and more. The park is located on the boundary of the western end of the Himalayas with the Karakoram. Deosai National Park remains snow-covered for seven months. The perfect time to visit the park is between July and September, when the snow has melted enough to make the area green. The natural environment is also made up of hundreds of beautiful flowers of all colours and hues.
We provide two options for this amazing tour, starting from Islamabad. One is by road, and the other is via a flight to Skardu Airport from Islamabad.
