Soni Plateau from spring to summer
In spring, mountain burning is carried out, and the grass in the meadows grows new.
In summer, the entire plateau becomes a grassland, and from spring to summer it becomes a carpet of fresh greenery.
A walk in nature while feeling the refreshing breeze is the best relaxing spot.
Soni Plateau in autumn
In autumn, the entire area is covered with pampas grass, creating a beautiful landscape that looks like a carpet.
The spikes of pampas grass begin to appear in mid-September and turn golden in color by late November.
The pampas grass turns into silver waves in the sunlight during the day, and at dusk, the golden glow gives a feeling of strength and gentleness at the same time.
This landscape provides visitors with emotional moments.
