It is located within the Astore Valley, which is characterized by a light covering of oak trees and other vegetation.

As of 2013, the region has experienced significant deforestation, low average rainfall, and reduced vegetation, largely due to widespread illegal logging practices.

The area surrounding Astore consists of more than 50 small villages, including Chilm, Bubin, Gorikot, Eid Ghah, Fena, Bulen, Choungrah, and Parishing.

Rama Valley is thickly forested with huge pine, cedar, fir and juniper trees.

The valley is about 3,300 meters (10,800 feet) above sea level and is snow covered for 7–8 months of the year.
