About 20 kms from the main city of Srinagar, the Dachigam reserve is a treasure for outdoor enthusiasts. Majestic mountainous expanse of the park is dotted with alpine pastures, bubbling waterfalls, undulating meadows & scrub vegetation. In summer, the park looks amazingly beautiful for the multihued flower carpeting. The terrain of the lower Dachigam is easy & the best way to explore the park is by short day hikes.
With a diverse flora & fauna, Dachigam wildlife sanctuary makes for one of the prime places to visit for wildlife lovers near Srinagar in Jammu & Kashmir.
Depending on the fitness & interest of the customer, we will explore the lower or the upper regions of the National Park which serves as the home to the famous Hangul Deer, Common Leopard, and Black Bear.
