Deosai has a deafening silence, a silence spanning over centuries. The silence is so deep that one can hear his own heartbeat, unless a marmot’s whistle fills the valley, clouds so low that one can almost touch them, Himalayan Golden eagles flying between the clouds, and a strange fragrance in the atmosphere which probably is a mixture of brown bears, red foxes, white tigers, and naughty marmots.

The group will first come to Astore Bazar and then move forward for Deosai plain. It is an approximately four hours’ drive but with full of excitement and thrill through gorgeous valleys.

After spending 3-4 hours at Deosai, the group will depart for Rama Meadow for dinner and overnight stay. Camping.
