Situated at 9,000 kms. above sea level,
Sonmarg is one of the smallest resorts in Kashmir, lying in the
heart of a gorgeous valley carved by the river Sindh.. Also
known as "Golden meadow", this place gets its name 'Son' meaning
golden, from the bloom of yellow crocuses that fill this valley
in the spring. It can be reached by roads, which runs through
the picturesque Sind valley flanked on one side by the densely
populated slopes and many varieties of alpine flowers.
A gushing river is the highlight of this meadow, flowing down
from snowy heights into the dense woodlands of firs and silver
birches. Glaciers pour down from this stream from the Himalayas
on to the many camping sites in Sonmarg. A thick forest cover of
sycamore, alpine flowers, silver birch, fir and pine, Sonamarg
offers adventure in the form of treks, sledging, angling, alpine
skiing and white water rafting.
Sonmarg, on the Srinagar-Leh highway is approximately 110 kms
from Srinagar and the road to Sonmarg passes through the famous
Jawahar tunnel. Buses and private taxis can be hired from
Srinagar. |
