DEOASI -BURJI PASS TREK
The Deoasai plain (4000 m), a vast high-altitude plateau covering an area of over 400 square km, south and west of Skardu, borders on Indian Kashmir. In Balti, the region is known as “Bhear Sar,” which means place of flowers. Nowhere lower than 4000 m, this uninhabited alpine grassland has numerous clear streams with unusual snow trout, a large brown bear population, and a multitude of golden marmots. Deosai is surprisingly rich in plants and animals, bursting into life during the brief spring and summer months. The plateau is home to the Himalayan Brown Bear, which is unique to this part of the world. Other mammals found on Deosai included Tibetan Wolf, Tibetan Red Fox, and Himalayan Ibex etc. Deosai Plateau offers several opportunities for trekking and is easily accessible from Skardu.
