Sonamarg, often called the "Meadow of Gold," is a breathtaking mountain destination in the Kashmir Valley of India's Jammu and Kashmir territory. Nestled at an altitude of approximately 2,800 meters (9,200 feet), this alpine valley is surrounded by majestic snow-capped peaks of the Himalayan range, including the imposing Sirbal, Kolhoi, and Machoi mountains. Sonamarg's pristine landscape features verdant meadows blanketed with vibrant wildflowers during summer, dense forests of pine and fir, and the glacial-fed Sindh River cutting through its heart. The region serves as a gateway to several important trekking routes, including those to Vishansar Lake and the sacred Amarnath Cave, while also offering visitors activities ranging from trout fishing to horseback riding across its breathtaking terrain.
