Sonbain Ashapati (or simply Sonbain) is a mountain massif in the Middle Himalayas of Jammu and Kashmir, India, southeast of the town of Bhaderwah near the border with Himachal Pradesh.[3] The Neeru river originates from the Ashapati glacier. The mountain massif lies on the inter-state border between Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh, at the trisection of the Doda, Kathua and Chamba districts.
The Sonbain word is derived from two Kashmiri words, son meaning 'golden' and bain meaning 'spring'.[4]
On the Bhaderwah-Bani-Basholi road, Guldanda is a large ridge, from where the Sonbain Ashapati peak can be climbed. The Ashapati glacier, which gives birth to the Neeru river, is located to the left of this ridge.[5]
