It was great experience booking the trip with TT The best part of the trip was our Polite and humble Driver named Basharat , he was really helpful in guiding us throughout the tour. Also he
    was very punctual and well aware about the places. Would really want to thank him more for the polite behaviour.

    The trip was really comfortable and amazing. Special thanks to our guide Nazir Baya who assisted us in local guidance and was very polite. He was well versed with all the places and was very helpful in providing the best possible options. Also, Thanks to Rabia for providing us with the best faciliti
    es and being there for queries at any point in time. Would recommend Rabia and Nazir for future travels.

    A's 6 days trip to Jammu

    Pros - Ms. Meherin was very supportive while booking and guidance and also take feedback between the trips. - They also arrange the sim as our sim was not working there. - They also provided a good driver(Mr.Sahid ) who also guide us to every place. (Extra one star for him :) ) Cons - Complimentary
    shikara ride is of no use, just a time wastage. He takes us to the Meena bazaar only and drop to our houseboat. He was also rude as we didn't agree on his quoted price. For a proper round, he asked for an extra 4500. Once we reached the houseboat, we booked another one at 800rs only. So be alert while paying to them. - We faced multiple problems with hotels. Be careful while selecting the recommended hotels. - first Pahalgam hotel (very bad experience) - Phalgam Retreat Detailed Review - https://goo.gl/maps/kTerk4d37xR4Szsj9 - second Srinagar hotel - Hotel Aqeeq Towers - Average Experience Detailed Review - https://goo.gl/maps/6Gkvpp1PMK4avrHE9 - third houseboat - Anarkali - Good Experience > Houseboat staff is very supportive. >Houseboat is well maintained and you will enjoy your stay there. > They also provide an electric blanket. Just recommendation is to opt only for a day in winter to get the experience as it's too cold there. Please avoid recommending the above hotels. These hotels are not good except houseboat.

    Mumbai

    Anil's 3 days trip to Jammu

    Good experience. But It could have been best if the package involved competitive charges for local side seeing, specially the charges for pony and shikara, as that has involved lot of head ache and unplanned expense from the local venders. They charge like anything which is quite frustrating. As we
    are in mood of travel, explore and enjoy and not in the mood of bargaining to get the best deal with pony owners. Accommodation were quite superb at House boat and hospitality was amazing. But the accommodation at Pahalgam was poor as the hotel people straight away denied that they were not been communicated about our stay. We reached to pahalgam after a lot travel and such reception is not expected which again lead to dissatisfaction. It took almost 45 minutes to resolved the issue and even after that we got poorer property to stay not as was promised.

    Sachitamallick's 7 days trip to Jammu

    Our 6N 7D trip to Kashmir was planned by Ms Rabia from classic holidays through travel triangle. It was very well planned by her according to our needs be it the hotel stay or the house boat or else the visiting spots. In Srinagar we stayed in Grand Kaiser hotel & Wangnoo Sheraton houseboat. Both w
    ere 4 star hotels. Experience at both the places was good. In hotel after having dinner we enjoyed bonfire every night till our stay. In houseboat the food served was authentic. Caretakers were very nice in every aspect. In Pahalgam our stay was planned for 2 nights. we stayed in AS resorts which was not even 1 star so Rabia changed it the other day and arranged our stay in grand Kaiser. She cooperated very well. In the itinerary she mentioned about bargaining in sonmarg, Gulmarg n Pahalgam for pony ride which was very much helpful. For shopping and for eating food famous and specific places were mentioned. We tried that only and it was really good and worth it. Will recommend classic holidays to everyone for exploring Kashmir.
