Mountain Greens Camping

Where else would you find meadows of gold, sun-kissed peaks, breathtaking lakes and towering glaciers? Where the frantic pace of the world outside feels like a mirage…Sonmarg at an altitude of 8,000 feet is a secluded haven in the state of Jammu & Kashmir. Sonmarg plainly translated means 'Meadow of Gold'. It is a flower laden meadow in between the imposing Himalayan range that boasts of wafting scents of fir and pine forests. Sonmarg is a popular base for trekking to nearby locales and is as much a preferred family destination as it is for the adventure enthusiasts. The Indus River offers fresh trout and mahaseer (freshwater carp fish) and glistening rapids for whitewater rafting. The Thajiwas valley at the foot of Sonmarg offers plenty of camping sites and picnic spots with mighty white glaciers set against the lush green meadow. Pilgrims throng Baltal, 13 kilometres from Sonmarg for the annual pilgrimage of Amarnath. Half-hour drive from Sonmarg is the curious Kheer Bhawani Temple where locals believe that the natural spring surrounding the temple at times changes colour. Sonmarg allows you to experience different types of weather in a single day – a sunny morning, rainy afternoon and a cold evening.
