Thajiwas is a small, accessible glacier 3 kilometres uphill from Sonmarg village. Ponies ferry visitors to the snow line, where meltwater streams rush down from ice cliffs. Visiting it is one of the main things to do in Sonmarg. The glacier is year-round snow at 3,000 metres and the easiest in Sonmarg, Kashmir to reach without trekking.
