Prateekshap's 7 days trip to Pahalgam

I highly recommend Travel Triangle for your future trips. They organize everything so efficiently, and it’s budget-friendly too. My trip to Kashmir was a dream come true, and they made it amazing. The driver was fantastic—his behavior was so warm and cooperative, it really felt like being with family.

Ujwaldeep's 5 days trip to Pahalgam

People of Kashmir are very friendly... Especially our driver Danish was very friendly. HE assured us the first day that he will treat us like family and he really did. Its because of him and his planning that we were able to reach and enjoy every location on time.. Although the hotel were okok.

Jigu's 7 days trip to Pahalgam

Out of the three, only one hotel in Gulmarg was extremely good. Hotel in Pahalgam lacked many services, including proper heater, which was necessary during such temperatures. Hotel in Srinagar also lacked few services despite being a 4 starproperty and was located in a very secluded place, close to local market instead of tourist market, and we had to commute for about 5-6 Kms even for small things. Overall experience about the cab and driver was good, except for a few small things.

Bidyut's 6 days trip to Pahalgam

We had booked 7D 6N trip with try me holidays. The experience was mesmerizing and unforgettable for a lifetime. Rida helped us with the customised itinerary covering the most beautiful places and was available to assist whenever required. Mr Owais was with us on the entire trip not only showing his brilliant driving skills but acting as a Guide as well. His knowledge about various places to visit and suggestions of cafés and restaurants helped us to enjoy the trip without any hassle. :)

Sharma's 6 days trip to Pahalgam

Food & Accommodation: Grand Mir International: Great food, but my bed had a broken ply. The issue was temporarily fixed, and I got a new room the next day. Check bed condition at check-in. White Water Resort Pahalgam: My request for a front-side view room was not honored, despite prior instructions. Many travelers faced similar issues. Extra beds were uncomfortable, and check-in/room selection took over an hour. Heevan Houseboat: Average food for vegetarians. Have a proper meal in Srinagar beforehand. Sightseeing & Tips: Pahalgam requires two days: Day 1: ABC Valley and nearby points. Day 2: Baisaran Valley. Stay near the taxi stand/main market in Pahalgam for convenience. Shankaracharya Temple closes at 4:30 PM; plan accordingly. At Sonmarg, negotiate for boots/jackets and pay via UPI or keep proof of payment. Health & Budget: Avoid overeating makki ki roti and sarson ka saag from Doodhpathri; it caused stomach issues. Carry ₹7,000–₹10,000 cash per person for sightseeing. These tips can help ensure a smoother experience in Kashmir.
