The scenic Dachigam valley is one blissful place of natural world and its surrounding mountainside contains the rare Kashmir stag (Hangul), also black and brown bears. Once the exclusive hunting preserve of the Maharaja of Kashmir, it was declared a national park in 1951, and owing to a strictly enforced conservation programme, the hangul population, once 150, now stands at over 400 animals.
