Our driver,
    Firdosh Bhai, was not only well-mannered but also knowledgeable, providing us with valuable tips on shopping and other aspects to avoid overpaying. The accommodations provided were luxurious and comfortable, especially in Gulmarg, where we were treated to the best hotel experience.

    he did nothing and took the fees. Trip guide Pankaj from Travel triangle confirmed on whatsapp chat and over call that he will give 50% discount on convenience fee and it will be adjusted in second payment, but for that I did lot of follow up for 4-5 days over whatsapp but he didn't help on this and no response from his side.
