In the winter of the year 2024, As we all know the usual snowfall in Kashmir’s popular destinations like Gulmarg, Pahalgam, and Sonmarg had been very less as compared to previous years. So keeping this in mind our team left for discovering places which still have snow. The place that we visited and found best is The Sinthan Top. Our journey was a beautiful one as the roads and snowy landscapes made it exactly what people crave for about Kashmir. This is place is absolutely the best place to visit if you couldn’t find snow in Gulmarg, Pahalgam or Sonmarg. At Sintan top you can do a lot. So let’s start this blog which will have everything you want to know about reaching at Sinthan top and what activities you can do there. Let’s Begin
There are mainly two reasons for not Snowing in Kashmir, One being the Nino Effect, which is a climatic phenomenon that involves the warming of sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean. Which then disrupts global weather patterns, leading to reduced snowfall in the Kashmir. Second one, being global warming. A lot of people also think that it happens every decade once or twice so we don’t need to worry about it. Untill then let’s enjoy what we still have which is the Sinthan Top
Our Journey began when we left Srinagar to reach Sinthan top, It took us approximately 3 hours to reach. Along the way, we saw a unique thing which is an emergency plane landing strip right on the highway. After travelling for a while in our car we reached at the main market of Anantnag. It is a good place to pack something to eat as our journey was a long one. Anantnag market has a beautiful clock tower also called “Ghanta Ghar”. At Anantnag we packed some snacks and bought some fresh fruits.
After leaving Anantnag main market, We continued to reach our destination. But we notice that there are a lot of places that you can visit while reaching to Sinthan top. One of which is the “Temple Samadhi Mirza Kak Ji” It is a beautiful temple which is on the way. If you are a spiritual person then this place is worth stopping for a while. To find this landmark you can ask anyone when you would be reaching Kokernag , also we found a board which also shows you the location of the temple. After you can visit a Kokernag Park which is a beautiful place for a picnic, also there is a trout fishing farm that you can visit.

If you are feeling hungry then you can stop at a local tea shop which is called “Davoodia Tea Stall”. It is a small dhaba which offers you tea, aloo parathas, maggi and Chola puri. We stopped at this spot and had good quality aloo parathas also in a very affordable price. If you are visiting surely stop at this place and take a break. After this we reached the place called Daksum its is a beautiful place with river on the side. We also stopped at a green water bridge which was on the way which is also a great stop to stop. If you have lunch with you, you guys can stop here and have your lunch with an amazing touch of nature to it. The peaceful sound of water and scenery makes it very beautiful. After travelling for a while on zigzag roads climbing up the hill we finally reached our destination which is The Sinthan Top.
It is meadow like mountain covered which a lot of snow which looks so beautiful to look at. People were having so much fun that we also started climbing up the mountain, and the beauty of the place at the top is impossible to explain. It was giving us a birdeye view of the mountain with peaks visible of long range of snowy mountains. Also to mention we stopped like after every 10-20 minutes after Daksum to take our pictures as on every kilometer we magically found a view point and took our photos, videos and image content for this blog
There are some stalls at Sinthan top, Some food items that are that you can try include Maggi and fried rice, in drinks you can drink coffee and tea. We stopped at the stall had had maggi and a tea in from of a bornfire which kept us all warm and cozy while having our tea with amazing views of snowy mountains in front of us. Maggi and Tea was decent, if you are feeling hungry do try out their Maggi, The view and a place of spicy Maggi is just a perfect match at this amazing place.
As we were leaving back to Srinagar, something caught our eyes. It was a heavenly sunset with beautiful haze which was surrounded all over in the sky. The sunset is visible from the Sinthan top and also some places will travelling down the hill. The time arround 5.30 Pm in 14th of January. We could not hold ourselves just watching it from a car. So we decided to do a Photoshoot and we indeed got some amazing shots of it. We also did a classic Shah Ruk Khan pose and shot some Instagram Reels for our handle. We sat there for a while and it surely is one of the most beautiful things on the journey. If you are travelling to Sinthan top in winter then keep some time for this also.
