Sonmarg's allure is evident in its stunning vistas of snow-capped peaks, lush green meadows, and the shimmering Thajiwas Glacier. The valley is surrounded by lofty mountains that add a dramatic backdrop to its verdant pastures.

Sonmarg took my breath away! The views of the Thajiwas Glacier and the lush green meadows are incredible. It’s much less crowded than other tourist spots in Kashmir, making it an ideal place for peace and solitude. I spent my days trekking and soaking in the scenery. Definitely a hidden gem for nature lovers.

Sonmarg is stunning and far less commercialized compared to other Kashmir destinations. The rivers, glaciers, and towering peaks make for an unforgettable experience. I went for a short trek and was amazed by the untouched beauty of the place. The only downside was the limited accommodation options, but the natural beauty more than made up for it. Worth the visit!
