Daksum is a place of solitude, and trekkers destination. Sound of Bringi river flowing by is mesmerizing and this river
is famous for trout and has been rightly called Angler’s Haven. Daksum is walkers paradise due to excellent trekking locations. Trekking is the most preferred activity as there is complete
calmness to enjoy trek and only sound that touches is sweet murmuring of Bringi
river flowing nearby. It is befitting location for camp site for a trek towards
Sinthan Top. Excellent location and pleasant climate for camping before
starting the trek. It is a trekker’s paradise swathed in coniferous forests,
gurgling streams, hidden grassy meadows, where your only company is the sound
of the gushing Bringi river or an occasional shepherd tending his flock amid a
cluster of nomadic Gujjar hutments. The journey to Daksum provides breath-taking views of wild
flowers, blue misted snowy mountains, endless yellow fields of blooming
mustard, apple orchards bursting with flowers, and cherry blossoms adding
generous splashes of pink to the landscape is a treat. In winter season, Daksum turns into a haven of white snow. In summer one can behold the Bring river flowing to its fullest
capacity. Prominent places nearby are Kokernag, Vering, Sinthan Top,
Dandipora. Other major attractions are Brengi river, Goran village, Dessu
village, Herbal garden, Rajparian Nallah, Rajparian Wildlife sanctuary and
Daksum sheep farm.
