The Astore and Deosai Plains tour is an epic journey into the Himalayan range. Astore Valley, stretching 120 km and covering 5,000 km² in northern Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan, lies on the eastern face of the mighty Nanga Parbat (8,125 m), often called the Killer Mountain for its formidable climbing challenges. This valley, renowned for its colossal beauty and geographic contrasts, offers adventurous travelers endless trekking opportunities and a rare chance to experience a rich culture untouched by mass tourism.
Astore and Deosai Plains tour starting from Islamabad to Astore, Rama Lake, Rupal Valley, and Deosai National Park is an unforgettable exploration of the Himalayas’ splendor. Starting from Islamabad, the tour follows the scenic Karakoram Highway to Naran — a charming town nestled among lush green valleys, snow-clad peaks, and gushing streams, perfect for soaking in the crisp mountain air.
From Naran, the road climbs over Babusar Pass into the enchanting Astore Valley. Here, stone-and-mud houses, terraced fields, and warm, hospitable locals embody a lifestyle in harmony with nature. The cool climate, wildflower-filled pastures, and serene atmosphere make Astore a true hidden gem of the Himalayas.
From Astore, a day excursion to Rama Lake leads you through pine forests, meadows, and streams to the tranquil lake surrounded by snow-covered peaks and grassy plains — ideal for reflection and photography. Another highlight is a full-day visit to the spectacular Rupal Valley, located on Nanga Parbat’s southern side. Famous for its lush green landscapes, dramatic views of the mountain’s Rupal Face, and picturesque trekking trails, the valley offers visitors breathtaking scenery and excellent photography opportunities before returning to Astore for the night.
No trip to Astore is complete without exploring the magnificent Deosai National Park — the “Land of Giants.” This vast alpine plateau, among the world’s highest, dazzles with its endless pastures, grazing yaks, playful marmots, and carpets of wildflowers. At its heart lies Sheosar Lake, a turquoise jewel encircled by alpine blooms and mountain vistas — a truly unforgettable sight.
The return journey retraces the route back to Islamabad via Naran, leaving travelers with indelible memories of serene valleys, timeless stone villages, glacial waters, and Pakistan’s unspoiled highland beauty.
