Day 3 : Srinagar - Sonamarg
After breakfast full
day excursion of Sonmarg which is one of the most
beautiful drives from Srinagar.
One of
the most popular short walks from Sonamarg and a
major attraction during the summer months is the
4-km route to Thajiwas, a small valley at the foot
of the Sonamarg glacier. A path leads up to the
Shakhdar hill, overlooking the glacier from the
northeast. It is dangerous to climb the steep slope
leading up to the glacier. Ponies can be hired for
the trip up to Thajiwas glacier. Often in early
summer one will meet groups of Gujar passing through
Sonamarg on their way to the alpine meadows for the
summer.
Sonamarg is the base of a major trek that passes
along several mountain lakes –Vishansar, Kishansar,
Gadsar, Satsar and Gangabal. Sonamarg is also the
take off station for the drive to Ladakh across the
Zojila, a major pass in the Great Himalayan Range,
through which the Srinagar-Leh Road passes.
Overnight in the hotel.

The
famous Gangabal trek starts from Sonamarg across the
Sind river with the steep Nichnai Pass at 4080 m.
Rough trek of 15 km from Sonamarg will certainly
make you stop at the first visible compsite in the
area. Passing via Vihansar Lake at 3680 m and
further to Krishansar lake at 3819 m a marvelous
campsite urges you to stop overnight.
A 23 km trek to Gadsar lake, 3900 m , passes through
steep climbs followed by a rapid descent, whereafter
the magical gadsar lake appears, mostly full of
broken glacier masses. A trek of 17 km via Satsar
lake, 3600 m passes through Gangabal valley, where
