 Deosai, highest and largest Plateau on the planet earth at an average height of 13,500 feet above sea level
The Deosai Plateau covers an area of almost 3,000 square kilometers and the name Deosai literally means "sleeping giant"
For just over half the year between November and May, Deosai is snow-bound
The spectacular scenery that Deosai offers from mid-June to mid-September is highlighted by numerous species of vegetation
The landscape is covered with wildflowers that make Deosai radiant with bright colors throughout the summer
The presence of unique wildlife complements Deosai's natural vegetation
