Sonamarg: The Meadow of Gold

True to its name, Sonamarg sparkles under the sun with its snow-capped peaks and flower-strewn meadows. It is most famous for the Thajiwas Glacier, where visitors can enjoy snow even in the height of summer via a short pony ride or trek. As the gateway to Ladakh, the region offers a more rugged and wild beauty compared to the rest of the valley. It is a dream destination for trekkers, serving as the starting point for the famous Great Lakes Trek, visiting pristine waters like Vishansar and Krishnasar.
