Located very close to Srinagar (22 Kms), Dachigam National Park with its splendid forests and magnificent scenery, is easily accessible. The two sectors of the park - Upper and Lower Dachigamare spread over an area of 141 sq. Km and altitudes vary between 1700 and 4300 metres. Two steep ridges enclose the park with its great topographical variety - deep ravines, rocky outcrops, steep wooded slopes and rollingalpine pastures. Tumbling down form the Masrar Lake (4300m) , up in the highranges, the Dachigam river winds through Lower Dachigam.

The park is the habitat of the endangered hangul of the Kashmir stag - the only species of red deer to be found in India. Winter is the best time to view the hangul, when they congregate in the shelter of the lower valleys.Other inhabitants include the Himalayan black bear, species of wild goat like the markhor and ibex and varieties of exotic Himalayan birds.

Colourful pheasants include the crimson tragopan, the iridescent monalpheasant with its glittering plumage , the blood pheasant and the koklasspheasant. The golden eagle and the bearded vulture or lammergeier are seen circling the brilliant blue skies. The leopard which is the only predator in this paradise is rarely seen as also the elusive snow leopard which is found in the higher altitudes. Other animals include the rare musk deer and the Himalayan marmot. A metal road takes visitors from Srinagar into Lower Dachigam. Upper Dachigam can only be explored on foot.
