Food quality at hilltop , Gulmarg and Mughal Sheraton House boat was pathetic. Time constraint was also there at House boat for dinner and breakfast and He refused to provide breakfast at 7.30 morning as our flight was at 10.00 from srinagar. There was no candle light dinner and cake provided by the travel agent during the trip as it qas mentioned in the package. So over all average service provided by the travel agent . Cab driver was good and friendly in nature. Trip to Pahalgam was the best part of it and Baisaran is best place to visit ....
