Sonamarg
Hill Station
Sonamarg
Sonamarg, situated in the Ganderbal district of Jammu and Kashmir, is a picturesque hill station aptly named "Meadow of Gold." Located about 62 kilometers from Ganderbal town and 80 kilometers northeast of Srinagar, it sits at an altitude of 2,730 meters (8,960 feet) above sea level. Sonamarg was historically significant as a gateway on the ancient Silk Road connecting Kashmir with Tibet.
Today, it is a popular destination for tourists, especially fishers, hikers, and adventure seekers, with attractions such as glaciers like Kolahoi and Thajiwas, trekking routes to lakes like Vishansar, Krishansar, and Gangabal, and the Sind River known for trout fishing.
The nearby Amarnath Temple pilgrimage also begins from Sonamarg. It experiences a humid continental climate with heavy rainfall and snow in winter, limiting accessibility during the colder months. The upcoming Z-Morh Tunnel promises year-round connectivity, making Sonamarg an increasingly accessible and vital tourist spot in the Kashmir Valley.
