Questions About This Tour
Most guests find Sheosar Lake inside Deosai the most striking due to its perfect clarity and the open plateau setting, though Upper Kachura's turquoise water is a close favourite.
Upper Kachura is popular for swimming in July August. The others are generally too cold or used for boating and fishing only.
