Welcome to Sonmarg

Sonamarg was a key point in ancient trade, notably on the Silk Road connecting Kashmir to Tibet. The city's rulers varied from the Mauryas to the Sikhs. King Pravarasena II is the earliest known ruler from 2,000 years ago. Today, due to the 1999 Kargil War, it holds strategic importance for the Indian Army and is also known for the Amarnath Yatra.

September to mid-November and April to May.

Key attractions include the Amarnath Yatra, Zojila Pass, Gangabal Lake, Gadsar Lake, Vishansar Lake, Krishnasar Lake, Satsar Lake, and Thajwas Glacier.

Sonamarg, primarily known for its scenic beauty, does not have prominent architectural structures like those found in many historical cities. Its appeal largely lies in its natural landscapes, lakes, and trekking routes. However, the region may have local Kashmiri architectural styles in houses and small shrines, but they aren't major tourist highlights compared to its natural attractions.
