Sonamarg Tourism: Hotels, Reviews, Packages, Photos, Maps, Experience, Itinerary

Surrounded by snow-capped mountains and enchanting in its natural beauty, the hill resort of Sonamarg is situated at a height of 2,740 m in the beautiful valley of Kashmir. This charming little town is commonly referred to as the 'Meadow of Gold', a title it is believed to have earned because of the profusion of colours that seem to cover the landscape in the form of alpine flowers, dense forests of silver birch, pine and fir trees, and the clear waters of the Sindh River, meandering through the town. The label could also be traced back to a legend that purports that Sonamarg is home to a secret well whose water turns everything into gold. While the town itself is extremely picturesque, the drive up to it, via the Sindh Valley is spectacular as well. In addition to its appeal as a scenic destination, Sonamarg also holds a position of geographical significance. It
