Dachogam National Park lies between Srinagar and Pahalgam. The usual entry point is from Sonmarg and exit near Ganderbal. This national park has vast reserve mountainous forests, streams, meadows and several small lakes which form from glacier melts. The views are awe inspiring and the trek through the national park was very strenuous (for me). An 8 day trek through the park afforded me the sights which are otherwise not accessible.
