Thajiwas Glacier, Sonamarg Overview
Thajiwas Glacier lies about 3 km from Sonamarg in Kashmir, at an elevation of around 3,000 meters, and stays covered in snow through the year. It is a popular spot for trekking and camping, and can be reached on foot from Sonamarg or by hiring a pony to get closer to the glacier.
On the way to the glacier, the tourists get to witness the beauty of the silver shining frozen lake along with all the greenery around. There are also the Gujjar tribes who have their camps set up and earn their livelihood here. In addition to all this, alpine meadows are scattered all over in the Thajiwas Glacier along with numerous waterfalls. This makes the glacier one of the most famous and most visited tourist attractions of Sonamarg. The tourists get to ride the sledge during the summer season too.
