Deosai National Park Tour 7 Days

Arrive at the Meeting Point in Islamabad where you will be received by one of our representatives. From here, we will begin our journey towards Deosai National Park, taking in the scenery from neighbouring towns such as Haripur, Abbottabad, and Balakot and passing through the lush green valleys of Kaghan. Overnight stay in Naran.

After breakfast, we will begin our journey to Skardu making a brief stop at the Lulusar Lake to take in the crystal clear waters of this natural unspoilt landscape. Continuing our journey through Kaghan Valley, our next stop will be at the elevated Babusar Top which we will reach via one of the most famous hairpinned roads in the world. Taking the road to Skardu, we will pass near Deosai National Park, driving parallel to the Indus River and across the famous hanging Alam Bridge. Overnight stay in Skardu.

This morning, we will make a visit to the ethereal Satpara Lake to enjoy the riveting views and from there, make our way to Deosai National Park otherwise known as the “Land of Giants.” This is a high altitude alpine plateau elevated at 4,000m above sea level and with views of the Himalayas. With its unexplainable beauty, we will be exploring the flora and fauna of this wildlife wilderness and keeping an eye out for the many endangered species of animals, which call this park home such as the Himalayan Brown Bears, Golden Marmots and Tibetan Wolves. Whilst here, we will be making our way through the park to take in the views of the Sheosar Lake, Kala Pani and Bara Pani. We will set up camp for our first night at Deosai National Park. 

Today, we will continue exploring the vast grounds within Deosai National Park, trying to spot wildlife and taking part in activities such as fishing, camping, and some hiking. For early risers, waking up in the midst of these gently rolling hills to witness the sunrise across the plains is sure to be a treat. After experiencing the magnificent sunset with its unrivalled views, we will cosy up by the fire and enjoy a BBQ against the backdrop of the starry skies in the night. We will set up camp for our second night at Deosai National Park.

After breakfast, we will take the road to Skardu to reach Shangrila, a resort that encircles a heart shaped lake with fruit laden orchards of apples, pears and cherries set in perfectly manicured gardens. Nestled amongst some of the highest peaks in the world, we will witness the raw beauty of the Lower and Upper Kachura Lakes, which make for some captivating scenes of the rustic surroundings. Next, we will make our way through the Cold Desert, the highest desert in the world and one where temperatures can reach as low as -25C before reaching the Shigar Fort, a 17th century restored fortress-palace that was previously home to the Raja of Baltistan. Guests will also have the option of taking a hike to the mighty Kharpocho Fort, which offers stunning views across Skardu and has a history that dates back to the Mughal era. Overnight stay in Skardu.

Today, we will leave for Besham/Naran. If the route to Besham is clear, we will explore the towns of Haripur, Abbottabad, and Mansehra on the way whilst riding parallel to the Indus River on the Karakoram Highway. And if the route to Naran is clear, we will end our tour by exploring the glaciers, lakes, and lush green Alpine forest of Deosai National Park. Overnight stay in Besham/Naran.

Following breakfast, we will continue the remainder of our journey to Islamabad whilst taking in the staggering mountain scenery, the rough terrains of the road and the welcoming people in the neighbouring villages. After a brief stop for some lunch and a cup of tea, we will make our way to the Departure Point in Islamabad where our trip will come to an end.
