Deosai National Park, known as the 'Land of Giants', is a high-altitude plateau offering breathtaking landscapes and the chance to spot the endangered Himalayan brown bear. It is primarily accessible by 4x4 vehicle from June to October, as heavy snowfall renders the park impassable for the rest of the year. While intrepid adventurers might attempt solo trips, hiring a local driver or joining a guided tour from Skardu or Astore is strongly recommended due to the challenging terrain, remote location, and lack of extensive signage. A typical visit ranges from a full-day excursion to an overnight camping trip to fully appreciate its vast plains, wildflowers, and Sheosar Lake. Costs include park entry fees (approx. $4-10 USD for foreigners), significant 4x4 rental fees (which vary greatly), and provisions, with accommodation primarily being camping. Visitors should be prepared for high altitude conditions and sudden weather changes.
