Suggested sights/activities for the today:

• Zero Point Sonamarg

Zero Point Sonamarg is a location next to Sind River with two small ponds where one may be able to hire a paddleboat (seasonal) and picknick. There is also a larger field to be used for playing football or other sport activities. In order to get to Zero Point Sonamarg, you may walk the about 3 km or hire a taxi from your hotel.

After such a long day with extensive travels – you definitely deserve a good’s night rest!

After you got up, enjoy your breakfast! 

Suggested sights/activities for today:

• Trekking/Horse ride to Thajiwas Glacier

Thajiwas Glacier is THE tourist attraction in Sonamarg and a horse would probably take you there blindfolded. We recommend to hike there (about 5 km, one way). However, you can also reach this place on horseback. Your hotel would definitely be able to organise a horse with guide, or just a guide if needed. 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 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 are 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 once completed to Leh/ Ladakh. 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!

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!
