Hi,
If you are a local... then you can have a ball of a time in Astore, Skardu and deosai in mere Rs 15,000 but if you are a foreigner then you will have to join one of the tour guides which will obviously be expensive...
suggestions:-

http://www.travel.web.pk/tours/special_07.asp
http://www.sitara.com/itineraries/t34.html.
One of the hotels in gilgit or Skardu can arrange for the tour to Astore and Deosai at the spot ... hotels like JSR, RUPAL INN etc ( i have forgotten the names now :) ) This should be less expensive.

Plus you can find loads of Tours on the web ... go to google.com type in Astore + Deosai + tours..

The best time of touring this place is from May to October...

Rgds,
Salman

If u r a foreigner...goto gilgit..stay at Montain Refuge...or Hunza Inn...ask for a tour guide who'll make all the arrangements for excursion to deosai via astore/traishing/chilum..keep yr passports and registered with Minsitry of Tourism in Islamabad before departing..

If u r a local..just pack a ruck sack ..either travel by road on bus called silk route or get to gilgit by PIA. Ask ppl there for trip to deosai..everybody will help.

I myself planning to go up north by 1st week of july if u want u may join as well.
