India is full of many astonishing places to visit, but what other name can you hear except Kashmir when we talk of the most beautiful place? Kashmir is India’s heaven on earth and is known for its beautiful landscape and majestic valley. Kashmir’s beauty and culture will leave you stunned as, along with flora and fauna, Kashmir also has one of the best places to visit, “Sonmarg.” Here you can check things to do in Sonmarg.
Gangapal and Nundkol lake
If you wish to explore nature at its best, this trek is a must. The trek to Gangabal Lake and Nundkol Lake is quite short and easy. It hardly takes 5 hours to complete this trek. Also, the best time to go for this trek is from June to September.
The journey gets more interesting with every passing moment because not only do we get an opportunity to witness nature at its best but also we come across animals like horses, cows, and sheep grazing in green pastures creating an unending mesmerizing effect on us while crossing our path, walking casually in groups across us carrying some burden or other (for example yaks carrying camping equipment).
Tajiwas Glacier
Thajiwas Glacier is a natural snow-laden glacier situated at an altitude of 3,000 meters above sea level. The glacier is a permanent snow cover that attracts thousands of tourists every year who want to enjoy the majestic beauty of this serene place. It is one of the major attractions of Sonmarg and hence attracts many tourists from across the world. This is one of the best things to do in Kashmir.
Zoji La Pass
If you’re looking for a day trip filled with adventure, you can plan a ride to Zoji La Pass. It is located 9 km from Sonamarg at an altitude of 11,575 feet above sea level and connects Ladakh and Kashmir. As the weather is harsh at this height, the pass remains closed during the winter months.
Nilagrad River
The best time to visit the Nilagrad River is from June to October when you can witness this river in its full glory due to the melting glaciers. A day or two can be ideal for visiting this place and sightseeing.
