Choosing a hotel in Sonamarg
Most visitors see Sonamarg on a day trip from Srinagar, so staying the night is a different experience: the day-trippers leave by late afternoon, and the valley goes quiet under the glacier. A night here suits three kinds of trip. On a Kashmir to Leh Ladakh road trip it gives you an early start for Zojila. On the Amarnath Yatra by the Baltal route it puts you about 15 km from the yatra gate. And for travellers who want a slower Kashmir trip, it means a full morning walking towards Thajiwas.
Sonamarg is a small place, and most hotels sit along the main road through the valley. The larger hotels, such as the Radisson, the Four Points by Sheraton and the Country Inn & Suites, have restaurants and heating. The cottages are simpler, closer to the meadows and better value for groups.
