Suggested sights/activities for today

• Horse ride to Thajiwas Glacier

Thajiwas Glacier is THE tourist attraction in Sonamarg. Your hotel will provide you with horses to reach this beautiful location in a comfortable way. It is so well known that a horse would probably take you there blindfolded. The distance is  about 5 km. If you are up for a walk you can also cover this distance by walking. It is very likely that you’ll be able to see some snow and even have the possibility to ride a sledge, depending on the season.

Other options:

• Drive to Zoji La Pass and Gateway to Ladakh
• Drive to Baltal Base Camp

Though Zoji La Pass and Gateway to Ladakh may be only about 25 km away from your hotel, it may take you easily 1 to 1.5 hrs to reach by taxi, due to difficult terrain. What can you expect? Surely it can be said “The journey is the reward”! Awesome views and lots of dust is guaranteed!

Baltal Base Camp is kind of a valley in itself and the one of the two starting points (the other one in Aru/Pahalgam) for the very famous Armanath Yatra, a Hindu pilgrimage. The Sind River is there and you may spot the new Zojila Tunnel under construction, which will provide an all year access to Leh/Ladakh once completed. The roughly 15 km  journey takes about half an hour by taxi.

Congratulation, you made it! After a long day outside with lots of fresh air and exercise you should be able to sleep well after your dinner at the hotel!

You receive your breakfast at the hotel. After checking out, your taxi will be waiting for your return trip to Srinagar International Airport. 

We hope you have had a pleasant and relaxing stay – share your memories with your loved ones and kindly recommend us!
