Pick up from your Srinagar hotel at 7 AM: Start your day with a pick-up from your hotel in Srinagar. Begin your full-day excursion to Sonamarg, known as "The Meadow of Gold," a historically significant gateway on the ancient Silk Road connecting Kashmir with Tibet.
Trek to Thajiwas Glacier: Choose to trek to the breathtaking Thajiwas Glacier, situated 3000 meters above sea level and covered in snow year-round. Enjoy picturesque views of the frozen lake with its silver sheen and the surrounding lush greenery. The trek features alpine meadows, cascading waterfalls, and traditional Gujjar tribe camps, creating an enchanting atmosphere. You may opt to hire a pony to make the journey easier.
Visit Zoji-La Pass: Alternatively, visit the dramatic Zoji-La Pass, located at 3528 meters above sea level, connecting the Kashmir valley with Ladakh. Experience spectacular panoramic views of rugged mountains and deep valleys. Be prepared for challenging road conditions with steep and winding paths; it's advisable to travel with an experienced driver. Note that the pass may be closed during winter months due to snow.
Explore Sonamarg Valley: Whichever option you choose, spend time exploring Sonamarg Valley, renowned for its verdant meadows and pristine rivers. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and dotted with charming streams and flowering plants, the valley offers a serene and picturesque environment.
Visit Thajiwas Lake (Optional): If you chose Zoji-La Pass, consider visiting Thajiwas Lake on your return. This serene, less-visited lake near the glacier offers crystal-clear waters and stunning alpine scenery.
Drive back to Srinagar: After a day of exploration, return to Srinagar. Your guide will ensure a comfortable drive back, and you will be dropped off at your hotel, concluding a memorable day of sightseeing and adventure.
