Quick answer
Thajiwas is Sonmarg's glacier, a few kilometres from the main meadow. Cabs stop at a point on the road; from there you walk or take a pony. Early summer has snow nearly down to the path, with sledges; by late summer you walk further to reach ice. It's Sonmarg's main outing and a manageable half-day for most.
