Rides at Dachigam National Park

The ideal way to move around Dachigam is on your very own two feet. There are numerous tracks that can be traversed. Many of these tracks do not consist of strenuous climbs and can be attempted even by the not so fit visitors. The treks to the upper region however are quite strenuous and require proper camping / climbing equipment to be taken along due to the terrain and climate. These treks to upper Dachigam should mostly be attempted by serious trekkers or by die-hard nature lovers. This is possible only in the summers, as the higher areas are totally inaccessible during the winters. A small portion of the lower region can be toured by jeep. This beautiful jeep track (Numbal Beat), which is around 10km long, runs along the River Dagwan as it twists and splashes it's way through the park. The trek along this track is quite a relaxing and enjoyable one. Some of the more strenuous treks, but not as exhausting as those to upper Dachigam, are along the nars that lie to the north of the jeep track. A couple of the good ones here are the Drognar and Munyu Nars. Jeeps can be hired from Srinagar, which is only 22km away from the park.
