The Meadow Of Gold At a height of 2,740m, Sonamarg is
the last major point in the Kashmir valley before the Zoji
La pass into Ladakh . At the pass the green, lush Kashmiri
landscape abruptly switches to the barren, dry landscape of
Ladakh. Sonamarg is thus not only a good base for treks but
also a jumping off point for trips into Ladakh. .
The most popular trek originating from
Sonamarg is the Kashmir Lake Trek. It covers the lakes of

the Gangabal Lake. Vishansar, Vishnu's Lake, is just over
12,000 ft and slightly larger than the 12,500 ft Kishansar,
