On this day, after breakfast, you will enjoy a unique experience tracking wildlife at Deosai. Our professional local guides will take you to the prime location where the odds of spotting the Himalayan brown bear are high. This plateau was reserved as a national park to protect the endangered brown bear. Due to conservation efforts in place, the number of these animals has increased significantly. During the summers, one can easily spot a brown bear in the vicinity.
After sighting these incredible animals, we will hike to the nearest fishing area. The crystal-clear streams of this plateau are also blessed with snow trout. We will experience fishing followed by cooking a fresh outdoor meal. As the evening approaches, we will spend another night at Deosai National Park.
