[m.umar1947]

We, a group of 6 friends, are planing a visit to Skardu during second week of July. We want to spend a night in camps at Deosai National Park preferably at Bara Pani. We wont be carrying our camping equipment so we basically are looking for renting option.
please share some information if this is possible and share some contact details of any tour operator who can manage this for us.

In addition
please mention main tourist attractions of Skardu which we can manage in 7 day tour

Thanks

There are a couple of tent hotels in Deosai. One at Bara Pani and one at Sheosar Lake. Or you can rent equipment from Skardu and pitch your own tents. But be careful of 2 things. The weather at night will be very cold so keep warm clothes with you. Secondly, talk to locals about possibility of encounter with bears at your campsite. They can smell food from great distance and could think about joining you for dinner

Apart from this you can go to Shigar, Lower Kachura, Upper Kachura, Manthoka Falls, Khaplu, Kharpocho fort, etc during your trip. Rama Lake is also an option.

Thanx for the input

last year sheosar lake and bara pani was infested with mosquitoes and that too some super sized ones.
how to handle that ?

Ohhh....this is dreadful. In winter we had camped in Lal Sohanra National Park though locals had warned us about mosquitos that can drink even more blood than politicians.

Know what.....most of us got severe allergies. In my case, I was struggling with allergy on my feet for a month.
