Sonamarg, meaning “Meadow of Gold,” is a picturesque destination located at an altitude of 2,740 meters. It is famous for trekking and camping. The Thajiwas Glacier is a major attraction here, accessible by a short trek or pony ride. The glacier remains snow-covered throughout the year, making it a popular spot for ice climbing and sledding.

The Vishansar and Krishansar Lakes trek is another popular route, offering trekkers the chance to explore high-altitude lakes surrounded by lush meadows and rugged mountains. For those seeking more challenging adventures, the Gangbal Trek offers a strenuous yet rewarding journey to the twin alpine lakes, Gangbal and Nundkol, located at the foothills of Mount Haramukh.
