Sonmarg

Resting at 2,740 meters along the banks of the roaring Sindh River, Sonmarg ("Meadow of Gold") is an idyllic alpine wonderland framed by snow-capped peaks and flowering meadows. Renowned for its proximity to the hanging Thajiwas Glacier and serving as the starting base before the ascent to Zoji La, it offers travelers an enchanting introduction to the western Himalayas.
