Situated at an altitude of 4150m (13615 feet), Sheosar Lake is among the world's highest lakes and serves as the largest water reservoir within Deosai National Park

Positioned at the western extremity of the park, this lake connects Deosai with the Astore Valley.

Two primary routes facilitate access to serene lake: a scenic journey via Skardu, encompassing the entirety of Deosai before reaching the lake, and an alternative route from Astore, positioning Sheosar Lake as the introductory landscape to the Deosai .

Serving as the primary water reservoir in Deosai, the lake spans approximately 1.33 square kilometers and represents one among several in the park.

The immense expanse of the lake, in contrast to the surrounding plains, creates a dramatic visual contrast that is a subject of interest for photographic documentation

Deosai, locally referred to as "The Land of Giants," presents an enchanting vista of boundless, treeless plains that sprawl into the distance

There are ongoing efforts to have Deosai's wetlands recognized as a RAMSAR site, emphasizing their global ecological importance.

Sheosar can be reached via Jeep from Skardu in 4.5 hours after crossing the whole expanse of the National Park

Camping overnight near Sheosar Lake provides observers with unparalleled views, most notably of the Milky Way during the night. The temperatures, however, can become freezing at night and it is suggested to camp at the available facilities at Bara Pani.

The government of Gilgit-Baltistan declared Deosai as a National Park in 1993 under the Northern Areas Wildlife Act of 1975
