Dachigam
National Park
As someone
said "when
Dachigam is
in full bloom
with all it's
wild fruit
trees and
beautiful
animals, it
makes you
feel that
this is the
closest you
could get
to the abode
of the Gods".
It wouldn't
be surprising
if the Gods
are actually
envious of
this place
on Earth.
Try and picture
a place beautiful
beyond your
imagination,
and then to
your image
add Wild Cherry,
Pear, Plum,
Peach, Apple,
Apricot, Walnut
and Chestnut
trees! All
growing wild!.
Dachigam National
Park is one
of India's
most scenically
beautiful
wildlife reserves.

Hemis
National Park
Hemis National
Park is a
high altitude
protected
area created
in 1981 in
the eastern
part of the
cold desert
of Ladakh
for the conservation
and protection
of its unique
flora and
fauna. It
covers an
area of 600
sq. kms in
the Markha
and Rumbak
valleys.
The terrain
surrounding
the park is
rocky and
the thin soil
cover supports
a poor vegetative
growth. Dry
alpine pastures
are present
in sheltered
locations
and the grass
growth is
relatively
rapid during
the summer
season after
the snow melts
from the region.
There are
many U-shaped
valleys, carved
by the glacial
actions that
occurred in
the past.
Rivers and
streams have
laid a thick
deposit of
sand along
their banks.
The general
elevation
of the parks
exact location
is over 3,000
meters.
