Sonamarg
Sonamarg sits at the point where the Kashmir Valley starts climbing toward Ladakh, and it's usually visited as a day trip from Srinagar rather than an overnight stop — glacier views, a short pony or trek to Thajiwas Glacier, and some of the valley's highest accessible meadows.
Ideal duration
Day trip from Srinagar, or 1 night if continuing toward Ladakh
Best time
May to September, once the Srinagar-Leh road opens for the season.

No — heavy snow closes the road in winter. It's typically accessible from late April/May through October.
