Discover Kashmir’s most precious wilderness on a guided morning walk through Dachigam National Park, home to over 150 bird species and some of the rarest large mammals in the Himalayas
Full Description
Venture into the heart of Jammu & Kashmir’s most breathtaking natural sanctuary on this exclusive morning walking safari through Dachigam National Park. Spread across 141 sq km in the Zabarwan Range, Dachigam holds the last viable population of the Hangul deer and one of the largest concentrations of Asiatic black bears in India. Setting out at first light when animals are most active, your certified naturalist leads you through forest trails rich with birdsong, paw prints, and the possibility of extraordinary encounters. From the iridescent flash of a Himalayan Monal pheasant to the distant silhouette of a leopard through pine needles, every moment inside Dachigam is a rare privilege in one of India’s finest protected wildernesses.
