Charming Srinagar Gulmarg Tour Package

• About Sonamarg: Known as "The Meadow of Gold," Sonamarg sits at an altitude of 9,000 feet. It is set against the backdrop of snowy mountains and a bright blue sky.

Note for visiting Sonamarg during heavy snowfall: Vehicles can only go as far as Gagangir, which is 10 km from Sonamarg. From there, the only transportation option is ponies, and guests will need to pay the actual cost.

After breakfast, check out from your hotel and head to Pahalgam. On the way, you'll visit the historic Mattan Temple and the ruins of Awantipura. The Mattan Temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu, dates back over 1100 years. The nearby Awantipura, established by King Avantivarman, features two significant temples. The larger, dedicated to Shiva-Avantishvara, stands impressively with massive walls on the outskirts of the village Jaubror. Although much of the complex has succumbed to ruins, it remains a sacred site for visitors. Upon arrival in Pahalgam, check into your hotel. Known as a popular tourist spot and a frequent Bollywood filming location, Pahalgam is also celebrated as a health resort. The area boasts numerous private hotels offering modern amenities. Enjoy an overnight stay at your Pahalgam hotel.
