Dachigam National Park is a national park about 22 kilometers from Srinagar in the Srinagar district of Jammu and Kashmir, India, on the eastern side of Dal Lake, covering about 141 square kilometers. Its name refers to ten villages relocated when the land was first protected in 1910 under the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir, originally to safeguard the drinking water supply of Srinagar, and it was designated a national park in 1981.
