Sonmarg, the "Meadow of Gold," is a pristine Himalayan retreat in Kashmir. Located at an altitude of 2,730 meters, it’s surrounded by glaciers, pine forests, and snow-covered peaks. This natural beauty turns Sonmarg into an outdoor paradise in June and July—the best months for camping, trekking, and the sacred Amarnath Yatra.

Whether you're looking for a spiritual journey or a peaceful escape in nature, Beau Kashmir Holidays brings you customized Kashmir tour packages that include everything from tented stays in Sonmarg to full-service pilgrimages to Amarnath Cave.

Why Sonmarg Shines in June and July

The snow melts in late spring, revealing lush meadows, wildflowers, and gurgling streams. Day temperatures hover between 10°C to 25°C—ideal for camping, sightseeing, and long treks.

In July, Sonmarg also becomes the bustling base camp for the Amarnath Yatra, welcoming thousands of devotees on their path to the sacred Shiva Lingam.

Camping in Sonmarg: Close to Nature

Camping in Sonmarg is more than just a night in a tent—it’s a full sensory experience. Wake up to the sound of flowing rivers, explore glacier-fed trails, and spend your evenings under starlit skies.

Camping options include:

  • Luxury camps with meals, bonfires, and comfortable bedding

  • Standard tents for trekkers and backpackers

  • Yatra base camps for pilgrims heading to Amarnath Cave

Beau Kashmir Holidays ensures safety, comfort, and eco-friendly practices at all campsites.

Top activities during camping:

  • Visit Thajiwas Glacier (just a 30-minute walk)

  • River rafting in the Sindh River

  • Horse riding and photography

  • Stargazing and Kashmiri cultural evenings

The Amarnath Yatra: A Sacred Adventure

The Amarnath Yatra is one of the holiest pilgrimages in India. Pilgrims trek through high-altitude terrain to reach the cave shrine of Lord Shiva, where a natural ice Lingam forms every year.

Why Amarnath Yatra is special:

  • Spiritual fulfillment in the heart of the Himalayas

  • A trek through glaciers, meadows, and streams

  • Helicopter services for those unable to hike

  • Begins in late June and lasts until mid-August

Sonmarg serves as the Baltal route base camp—the shorter and steeper path to the cave (14 km one way). The other route via Pahalgam is longer and more gradual.

We offer complete Amarnath Yatra packages with:

  • Tents and accommodation

  • Medical support

  • Pony or palki arrangements

  • Helicopter bookings (on request)

  • Pre-registration help

June:
