Sonamarg: Thajiwas Glacier Excursion with Transfer

Experience one of the most popular alpine excursions in Kashmir with a private SUV transfer from Srinagar to Sonamarg and onward access to Thajiwas Glacier.

Thajiwas Glacier is situated above Sonamarg and is surrounded by alpine meadows, snow-covered peaks, streams and mountain scenery. The official District Ganderbal tourism information describes the glacier at approximately 9,186 feet and highlights its summer hiking routes and surrounding waterfalls.

From Sonamarg, the glacier area is approximately 3 km away, with the final approach generally completed by walking or locally operated pony. Current 2026 travel information describes the walking route as easy to moderate, with the exact distance and accessible snowline varying according to season and trail conditions.

Guests can choose to walk through the scenic mountain trail or arrange a local pony ride separately. The private SUV remains at the designated Sonamarg parking/transfer area because vehicles do not continue to the glacier itself.

Meeting instruction:

Guests should report 30 minutes before the scheduled activity at the designated meeting point.
