Sonamarg Travel Information
The Meadow of Gold

The drive to Sonarnarg is through yet another spectacular facet of country-side in Kashmir, this time the Sindh Valley.

Sonarnarg, which means 'meadow of gold' has, as its backdrop, snowy mountains against a cerulean sky. The Sindh meanders along here and abounds with trout and mahseer. Ponies can be hired for the trip up to Thajiuias glacier - a major attraction during the summer months.

Sonamarg's importance is two-fold: It is the starting point of a major trek passing several mountain lakes - Vishansar, Kishansar, Gadsar, Satsar and Gangahal. One trek leads all the way to the Amarmth cave. The other reason for Sonarnarg's importance lies in the fact that it is the last halt on the Kashmir side for the drive from Srinagar to Leh.
