Historians say

141 km2. One source: it exists 'TO PROTECT THE HANGUL, THE KASHMIR STAG, ONE OF THE RAREST DEER SPECIES ON EARTH. FEWER THAN 300 SURVIVE IN THE WILD, AND NEARLY ALL OF THEM LIVE HERE.'

Historians say

Visitors to Dachigam typically plan their trip during the cooler parts of the day to make the most of their time exploring the area. It's advisable to wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes, as the terrain can be uneven. Bringing along water, snacks, and sun protection is also a good idea. To reach Dachigam, travellers usually take a vehicle from Srinagar, a journey that takes them through the city's outskirts and into the surrounding landscape. Before heading out, it's a good idea to check locally for the current timings and fees to ensure a smooth visit, as these details can vary.
