Deosai plains located in the Baltistan District of Pakistan are one of the highest plateaus of the world. The vegetation is devoid of trees and shrubs and for most part of the year; the plains are covered with snow. The plains come alive in spring when millions of flowers bloom on the green carpeted grassland.
Apart from its diverse Fauna and flora, Deosai is the natural habitat of the endangered Himalayan Brown Bear and other wild animals. It is also the home of rare birds. The Deosai National Park has been set up as a protected area for the wild life.
The Shausar Lake in Deosai is a sight to behold and offers a fantastic view of the plains. The Barwi Stream is a good fishing spot.
