    Shardul's 4 days trip to Gulmarg

    The hotels were good and clean. With professional staff. However they were all very far away from city center. In case of gulmarg the hotel was about 13 km away from the intended location which changes the topography and ecology of the region. The travel agent also forgot to pay to the hotel causing unnecessary delays.

    Dinesh's 7 days trip to Gulmarg

    We had a worst experience with amazing India routes. We were told that hotels are 4 star but was given 1 star or 2 star. Hotel in gulmarg dining area stinks. Hotel in pahalgam was even worst(Woods resort) it is a old building with no safety at all. See the view from hotel as attached here. Hotel in Srinagar was better but I had book my hotel seperately as I didn't want to stay there. Travel company has no idea about requirements. They totally messed it up on my anniversary.

    Sonalin's 5 days trip to Gulmarg

    We did had overall a good experience with travel Triangle. Thank you Arsh for curating the itinerary as per the requirement. But two things we faced during the travel which have us a bitter experience: 1. We were not intimated about the actual cost of the union cabs and guide which we needed too pay additionally. It would have been great if we knew the additional approximate amount. 2. The amount of time people demanding tip ..
