Sonamarg

Snow-capped mountains and a turquoise sky provide as the backdrop to Sonamarg, which means “meadow of gold.” Here, the Sindh meanders and is teeming with trout and mahseer; the main river is where one can catch snow trout. Visitors can access snow that is strewn all over like a white carpet in late April when Sonamarg is available for road travel. Private automobiles are not permitted. Taxis are required for visitors. Ponies can be rented for the ascent to Thajiwas Glacier, a popular summertime destination.

Gulmarg

At 8,690 feet above sea level, the town of Gulmarg lies tucked away in the Pir Panjal range of the Western Himalayas. Literally meaning “Meadow of Flowers,” it is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, lush green pastures, vibrant meadows, deep valleys, and slopes covered in pine trees. It is a gorgeous beauty that is well-known for its 1927-founded ski resort, the Gulmarg Gondola, the second-longest cable car in Asia, and the highest golf course in the world at a height of 2,650 meters. Nature enthusiasts and those looking for adventure will adore Gulmarg. It is known as the “heartland of winter sports” and provides a wide range of recreational opportunities, including skiing, snowboarding, horseback riding, heli-skiing, snowmobiling, tobogganing, and sightseeing.
