Deosai Plains, The Rooftop of the World
Ever wondered what the top of the world looks like, well sit tight as you are about to have a stunning ride.
The Deosai National Park (Urdu: دیوسائی نیشنل پارک) is located in Skardu, district of Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan. 'Deosai' (Urdu: دیوسای٘) means 'the land of Giants' in Urdu. Balti people call this place 'Ghbiarsa' (Balti: غبیارسہ) referring to 'Summer's Place' because it is only accessible in summer. The Deosai National Park is located between Kharmang, Astore and Skardu in Gilgit Baltistan. It has an average elevation of 4,114 metres (13,497 ft) above sea level, making the Deosai Plains one of the highest plateaus in the world. The park protects an area of 3,000 square kilometres (1,200 sq mi). It is well known for its rich flora and fauna of the Karakoram-West Tibetan Plateau alpine steppe eco region. In spring, it is covered by sweeps of wildflowers and a wide variety of butterflies. Deosai is second highest plateau after Chang Thang Plateau Tibet. [Source: Wikipedia]
