Aditya's 6 days trip to Srinagar

Well our experience with Jolly Holidays was good. As always its time to read good and bad things about our experience: Good experience: 1. We only booked cab and only 1 night stay at hotel with Jolly holidays at 20k for 5D6N We covered Pahalgam, Sonamarg, Gulmarg 2. Uneeba , our travel consultant was empathetic and helped throughout our vacation at Srinagar 3. Cab Driver, Aashik was helpful and always on time for pickups and drops 4. We were taken for site seen on time by our driver and always helped us throughout our vacation Bad experience: 1. You have to keep a time check on your itinerary and when you visit all places and do-not trust anyone, i feel itinerary planning should be arranged by travel agents. For us we felt that we missed many places such as Aru and Betab Valley; zeropoint at Sonamarg; Gardens at Srinagar and many more 4. We felt cheated many times in our travel period due to union cabs, pony’s and others so if you are reading this review please be careful and do-not trust anyone, yes anyone. One example : this is at pahalgam pony ride, we gave 5500/- for two ponys till baisaran valley however we met two couples at baisaran they hired pony for 2k for two ponys and other 1500/- for two pony. We went blank when we heard about it. Another example of thug happened when we visited a shop in recommendation of our travel partner there we purchased a semi-pashmina shawl at 3200/- and after that we went dal lake and visited another shop by our own and we saw same shawl, exact same shawl for only 1500/- without bargaining so please be careful when you visit Srinagar Summary: it was good experience with jolly holidays however they need to learn with travellers experience and provider better services. I will definitely rebook my vacation through jolly. Thank you!! Sonamarg

Shainaz's 4 days trip to Srinagar

We book this trip thru Travel Triangle and they connected us with Breath taking Holidays, Mr. Aqib. Aqib was so supportive and completely understood our requirement and tailor-made an amazing package. Shikara ride, hotel, food, houseboats were really really nice and mostly importantly the driver, Rashid Bhai. Raashid bhai is so perfect with his driving skills, routes etc. He helped us with each and every activity we did on the tour right from bargaining for the horse rides, local shopping and got us to have the delicacies of kashmir. We would highly recommend Breath Taking holidays

Md's 7 days trip to Srinagar

We recently completed a 9-day trip to Kashmir from 29 June to 07 July 2024, and we booked our cab through Kashmir Heaven Tours and Travels. Our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Itinerary Planning: Faisal did an outstanding job helping us plan our itinerary. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable trip for our group, which included seven adults (four senior citizens) and two kids. Communication: Mr. Wani and Mrs. Afreen created a WhatsApp group to provide daily updates and were in continuous touch with us throughout our journey. Despite our trip coinciding with the Amarnath Yatra, they ensured everything went smoothly. Driver: A trip is made memorable by the group, but the travel and journey part is made memorable only with an excellent driver. A special mention goes to our driver, Mr. Manzoor. He was a soft-spoken and polite gentleman who was always open to changes in our plans. Mr. Manzoor's guidance was invaluable—he provided excellent suggestions for sightseeing, dining, and local experiences while always respecting our inputs and preferences. His punctuality, local knowledge, and friendly demeanor significantly enhanced our trip. Value for Money: We were provided with a brand new Innova Crysta at almost half the price compared to their peers in the entire Kashmir region. This added tremendous value to our trip without compromising on comfort and convenience. Overall, we highly recommend Kashmir Heaven Tours and Travels for anyone planning a trip to Kashmir. Their excellent service and attention to detail made our trip truly memorable. Doodhpatri Pahalgam

I had an incredible experience with Travel Triangle on my Amarnath trip this year (2024)! The team provided exceptional customer service, tailoring the package to my needs and ensuring a seamless journey. From booking to the end of the trip, they were always available to address my queries and concerns. The itinerary was well-planned, and the arrangements were top-notch. I felt truly blessed to have chosen Travel Triangle for this sacred pilgrimage. I'm extremely likely to refer them to friends and family, and I already have! Their professionalism, expertise, and personalized touch made all the difference. Thank you, Travel Triangle, for creating lifelong memories!
