Sheosar Lake The Heart of Deosai
- 7 years ago
There are a number of lakes in Pakistan that have been universally acknowledged for their superior and incredible beauty and their natural magnificence. However, there is one lake which is above most in its magnificence and its grace. This lake is located in the Deosai National Park and is called the Sheosar Lake.
According to the local language, the lake is “blind” as it does not feed any other lakes. Therefore, it has been named as Sheosar. The word Sheosar is a combination of two words from the local language which is called the Shina Language. “Sheo” means blind and “SAR” means lake. So, the literal meaning is the “blind lake”.
Sheosar Lake is situated in the Deosai national park. The entire park is present in the northern province of Gilgit Baltistan. The park has many vast meadows and the Sheosar Lake is also located near flat surfaces of a plateau. The average height of the lake above sea level is 4,142 meters or almost 13,589 ft. The location of the lake is above the tree line level in a plateau of Karakorum Mountains called the Karakoram Tibetan Plateau. The actual location of the lake is a high elevation alpine steppe.
The lake is very large and its vast and plain surface adds to its beauty. The widest point the lake is almost 2.3 kilometers wide which is almost 1.4 miles. However, the length of the lake is almost 1.8 kilometers. Even though the depth of the lake varies from one point to other and it can have sharp inclines in various places, overall it is not very deep. The average depth of the entire lake is only 40 meters coming in at around 125 feet.
Best Time To Visit Sheosar Lake
Sheosar Lake is located in an area which receives a lot of snowfall. Therefore, much of the area is snow bound during the winter and spring months. The snow usually starts from the month of October and then it will not melt until the start of May. Therefore, trips should fall between the months of May and October. The best time to visit the lake is from late May to early September.
