Its cool environment makes it the perfect destination to escape the hot weather the rest of Pakistan experiences in the summer. This country's natural beauty is reflected in its erratic weather. Because the sun and clouds play a game of hide and seek for the majority of the day, no one can forecast whether it will be sunny or cloudy. If there is sunlight right now, it will be blocked by clouds the very next second.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cimg src=\"https:\/\/roomph.ascendant.travel\/uploads\/blog\/Deosai Brown Bear.jpg\" alt=\"brown-bear\"\/\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe tranquility and utter calm of Deosai are what I cherish the most.

The Himalayan brown bear, an endangered species, is not the only animal that calls Deosai National Park home. The golden marmot, red fox, Ladakh urial, musk deer, Himalayan ibex, markhor, Himalayan wolf, and snow leopards also live there.
