The drive

The Srinagar–Leh highway follows the Sindh river north-east through Ganderbal and Kangan, climbing gently to Sonamarg at 2,800 m. It is 80 km and 2.5 hours, and the valley gets better with every kilometre after Kangan. The road is open April to November; in winter it closes beyond Gagangir when snow comes.

Union rules at Sonamarg: your Wynn cab drops you at the Sonamarg taxi stand. Thajiwas glacier is a walk or pony ride from there; Zero Point and Baltal require a local union vehicle hired at the stand on fixed rates. Our driver waits for your return.
