    Abbas's 7 days trip to Gulmarg

    Upon booking we immediately asked whether we should try ourselves for getting Gondola tickets. We were told no need and the agency would take care. Near to our travel date, and after the bookings are closed we are informed to try on our own leading to no Gondola tickets. Poor advise in terms of what
    we can achieve or not on a trip. We had to use our own judgment and with the help of driver amend the plans as required. The agency vouchers were issued that were different to that issued by Travel Triangle. When questioned why there is no mention of Doodhpatri, it was just plugged in for the last day when we were to return from Pahalgam to Srinagar. The driver advised it would not be possible to do justice as we have to do Shikara ride also and left off Shalimar Garden. We amended and went to Doodhpathri on the day we cancelled Gulmarg plans due to no Gondola tickets. . Overall we feel shortchanged as we could not go to Gulmarg while we paid for that part of the trip. The driver saved us from lack of proper planning and advice from the agency.

    Ankit's 5 days trip to Gulmarg

    The hotel which was booked for 1st day was not good. Basic amenities like handwash, room freshner etc. were missing. Location of the hotel was also not that good. Other than this, stay was comfortable. Cab was good. The driver was punctual but impatient. He didn't care about lane driving. He was alw
    ays in a hurry as he had a flight to catch. Coming to sightseeing, local sightseeing of Srinagar could be better. On the last day, driver mentioned some important places which could be visited. On the last day, our check-out time from houseboat was 12 noon. But the driver as well as travel agent insisted that we have to check-out at 11 am at amx and we will be dropped to airport. I had booked my flight in the evening so that I could spend some more time and visit some more places (ofcourse at my own cost). I asked them if they could drop me to the airport in the afternoon but they denied and informed that it will be charged. These things can be improved or may clearly be mentioned at the time of booking.
