Tips for Dal Lake in Srinagar

Thanks alot Mehwish and Bilal

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.

s always available on the phone to guide us. Thank you for everything. The hotels provided were very nice and made sure we got all the required comforts. Thank you for arranging such nice hotels. The best part of the trip was the driver cum guide (Shakir). He has been an amazing friend, philosopher and guide. Thank you Waris for allocating him to us. He has made our trip so nice. We would like to visit again soon provided you allocate Shakir to our service :). Thank you Waris for everything.

od : Good, arranged properly and had few options. Cab: Driver was helpful in arranging local transport in Pagalgam and Gulmarg. Coordination: Travel agent was very responsive before payment and the tone and response changed after payment started saying no can’t be done even for small things. Overall booking experience was awesome, but travel experience was very bad. Thanks! Excellent climate !!

ou Mehvesh for that. Throughout the journey she has taken care of all the things related to stay and services. Thank You Haniefa tours and travels to making out holiday good.

a very good driving experience. We enjoyed the journey with him. One issue we find was that wherever we were stopped by the driver at the locations for further rides, like Pony or union cabs, those prices were way too higher as compared to the normal ones even after bargaining when we discussed with the other visitors. That is a place of disappointment as we spent more than Rs. 25k in such things which I guess is way beyond the limit. So, as a tourist I expect to be dropped at a point where nominal rated are given since tourists don't have any idea about the prices. They are trapped most of the times. Kashmir itself tops my bucket list of travelling since my childhood. I always had a curiosity of visiting the valley and interacting with the locals. So, that dream of mine came true. As per my expectation, it was beautiful. People were warm. They were good at serving the tourists. I found the Sonmarg 'The Best'. Its picturesque landscapes with the snowcapped trees made be spellbound. I couldn't find the Baisaran valley as per the expectation. I guess it wasn't the right time to visit there. But the lower meadows and valley of the Pahalgam was just beyond the words. It was so so beautiful I can't even spell. I wish to visit Kashmir again very soon.
