Skardu is located at the confluence of the Indus and the Shyok River, known as the gateway of the mountain kingdom, including the world’s 2nd highest K-2. Skardu is the best manifestation of hospitality and respect to tourists. People of Skardu speak Balti language, known as little Tibet.
Burji la pass (4816m) the former British route between Srinagar and Skardu, is a snow-covered north-south between the Skardu Valley and Deosai Plains. The plateau is home to the Himalayan Brown Bear, and many other mammals’ including Tibetan Wolf, Tibetan Red Fox, Golden Marmots and Himalayan Ibex etc. Deosai Plateau offers several opportunities for trekkers to explore the wonder of nature.
This trek starts from the Deosai entry point (4000M) known as Ali Malik Mar. The valley opens into wide uninhabited alpine grassland has numerous clear streams with unusual snow trout. Deosai is surprisingly rich in plants and animals, bursting into life during the brief spring and summer months. Burji La is the obvious snowy saddle on the east side of the ridge above the upper basin. A broad snowfield lies below the pass. The giant peaks at the Baltoro Glacier’s head rise above the lower ridges in a grand panorama. To the south, several icy blue lakes nestle below a small ridge followed by birch and willow trees further down the valley.
