Deosai National Park is one of the world's highest plateaus at an average elevation of 4,114 metres, covering 3,000 sq km across Gilgit-Baltistan. Known as the "Land of Giants," it is home to the Himalayan Brown Bear, Snow Leopard, Tibetan Wolf, and hundreds of wildflower species. Sheosar Lake, shimmering at 4,142 metres, sits at the heart of the park. In summer, the plateau transforms into a carpet of wildflowers and the sky is so clear that you can see stars in the daytime. It is also a critical habitat for brown bears (less than 50 remain in Pakistan).

Naltar Valley is a high alpine valley in Gilgit-Baltistan at 3,100 metres, known for its dense pine and fir forests, three stunning turquoise lakes (Naltar Lakes), and Pakistan's only ski resort. In winter (December–March), Naltar transforms into a snow paradise with skiing slopes, while summer brings lush green meadows, wildflowers, and the magical multi-coloured Naltar Lakes (Lower, Middle and Upper). The valley is used as a Pakistan Army skiing training ground and hosts international events.
