Jeep Safari
Deosai/Skardu Jeep Safari
The Deosai Plains lie
between the Indus River and the southern extension of the
Himalayan Range, whose most famous peak is Nanga Parbat
(8125m). At an average height of 3800m, the undulating,
green, flower-filled meadows are surrounded by snow capped
peaks and the drive through these plains is a soul stirring
experience.

this seldom-disturbed area a haven for wildlife, including
Brown Bear and Markhor. Our jeep ride from Skardu will take
