Fresh Snowfall Started at Zero Point, Sonamarg
3 September 2025: Visitors at Sonamarg’s famous Zero Point were treated to a breathtaking sight as fresh snowfall transformed the region into a winter wonderland. The unexpected flakes, descending gently across the lofty landscape, have turned the high-altitude pass into a shimmering white paradise, drawing delight from both tourists and locals.
Situated around 11,500 feet above sea level on the Zojila Pass, Zero Point is famous for its snow-clad beauty almost throughout the year. The latest spell of fresh snow added a pristine charm to the rugged mountains and meadows, contrasting sharply with the green valleys below.
Tourists traveling along the Srinagar-Leh highway were awestruck as sudden snowfall covered the surrounding peaks and roads in a glistening layer of white. Many stopped to capture the rare September phenomenon, calling it a “dreamlike experience.”
Local tour operators expressed hope that the fresh spell of snow would attract more visitors to Sonamarg, which remains one of Kashmir’s most popular summer and winter destinations. With winter sports, snow rides, and sledging activities expected to pick pace in the coming weeks, the region is gearing up for a busy tourist season.
“The magic of Sonamarg lies in its unpredictable beauty. Snow in early September is unusual but makes the place even more enchanting,” said a hotel owner from the area.
Authorities have advised travelers to exercise caution while driving through the Zojila Pass due to slippery roads and reduced visibility caused by snowfall. Warm clothing and necessary winter gear have been recommended for those planning a trip in the coming days.
As Sonamarg welcomes its first fresh snowfall of the season, the destination once again lives up to its name – “Meadow of Gold.” With golden hues of autumn soon to mix with the sparkling white snow, tourists can expect a unique blend of seasonal beauty that few places in the world can offer.
