Dachigam National Park
For the designing of the Dachigam National Park, 10 villages in Jammu and Kashmir were relocated from 22 km off Srinagar. It was under the care of the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir initially and later on the concerned government departments were given the responsibility of the maintenance of the Park. It is located in Zabarwan Range of Western Himalayas. The area is extremely uneven and because of the geographical location, the Park has slopping grasslands and sharp rocks simultaneously. The Marsar Lake is located in the interiors of the Park amidst the coniferous trees and shrub vegetation. The Dagwan River flows through the Lake. The animals found in the Park are Kashmir Stag, Kashmir Grey Langur, Himalayan black bear, Jackal, Hill fox, Leopard, Himalayan weasel, Yellow-throated marten, Long-tailed marmot, and Jungle cat. The Park is also a house for several birds and the flora. In the year 1981, the Park got the status of being a National Park in the country.
