Have You Been To Sonmarg, What's Considered Kashmir’s Meadow Of Gold?

Swathed in beauty and tranquility, Sonmarg is the last stop of Kashmir when one drives from Srinagar to Leh. The alluring white valley is mostly visited during the Amarnath Yatra as Baltal Valley is used as a base camp for starting the holy journey. A short drive from Sonmarg, the valley looks heavenly during winters with snow covered trees and emerald green white meadows.

The Thajiwas Glacier is a popular tourist spot here. Regale yourself with sledge rides and enjoy the amazing view. Visit the Zoji La Pass, the connecting link between Srinagar and Leh, and reminisce about some scenes from Bajrangi Bhaijaan! Covered with alpine trees from all sides, Sonmarg has some of the loveliest collection of flowers in J & K.

Not only this, Sonmarg also has a plethora of lakes, each of which is surrounded by ethereal meadows and mountains. The largest freshwater lake in Asia, Manasbal Lake, is quite close by. Gadsar and Satsar Lakes are two alpine lakes in the vicinity that you shouldn't miss.

Sitting by the gushing stream and listening to the sound of water is the most satisfying feeling so give it a visit!
