Why go to Sonmarg
The meadow of gold and the Thajiwas glacier. A high meadow on the road to Ladakh, with a glacier walk above it. Closed in deep winter.
Is it worth it?
If you have three days in Srinagar, Sonmarg fits in as a relaxed day trip without cutting into the city. With two days, we'd keep to Srinagar itself.
