★★★★★
An immersive full day in Dachigam combining morning and afternoon walking safaris, a vehicle trail, a vegetarian thali lunch at Harvan Park, and a visit to the Dachigam Wildlife Rescue Centre.
Full Description
Make the most of Dachigam National Park on this full day safari experience that takes you through every dimension of this extraordinary Himalayan wilderness. The day begins at sunrise with a four hour walking safari through the lower forest trails, guided by a certified naturalist while trail snacks keep you going. Mid morning transitions into a two hour vehicle safari, covering greater ground and opening up deeper zones of the park. At 1:00 PM the group moves to Harvan Park for a relaxed sit down lunch at the Safari Basic Camp, served as a vegetarian thali. The afternoon brings a final three hour walking safari through a different set of trails, rounded off with a visit to the Dachigam Wildlife Rescue Centre, operated by Wildlife SOS, where injured and rescued Himalayan animals are cared for before release. From the Hangul deer at dawn to the rescue centre at dusk, this is Dachigam as very few ever experience it.
