Best Time to Visit Sonmarg

The summer season from May to June is ideal for sightseeing, camping, and trekking. But if you want to witness the snowfall and frozen glaciers, the winter months from November to April would be perfect. July to September are monsoon months and the region experiences heavy rainfall and landslides and thus a tour to the place is not recommended during this time.
