Sakshi's 5 days trip to Langkawi

We visited Kuala Lumpur and genting with Kushark holidays in first week of October. We were a group of 12 which included 4 senior citizens and 3 children. Hence, we wanted a smooth trip for us. Sagar ensured that, he provided comfortable cabs, enough time to explore places, we were not rushed anywhere which made our experience memorable. We would recommend Kushark, as they have provided a complete package at an affordable price and service delivered was top notch. Thanks Kushark and Sagar once again

Manoj's 5 days trip to Langkawi

I recently went on a vacation to Malaysia through Kushark Holidays and I had a good experience during my stay in Malaysia. I just had an idea to go to Malaysia and Sagar helped in making best out of the trip by suggesting go visit Langkawi and KL with 4 nights and 5 days. Ankush was very supportive during the trip and he was available for the call always (I would have called him more than 10 times in 5 days :D) he made sure I faced no hustle. I prefer Kushark Holidays for my future trips as well. Thank you Ankush and Sagar

Agarwalshashank's 7 days trip to Langkawi

My itenary was well planned by Mr Shubham and gave me room enough to relax along with coverage of most of the tourist spots. All the cabs and driver were well behaved and English speaking which made it easy to communicate. Hotel could have been better. Overall nice stay. Genting Highlands was awesome.

Gayathri's 4 days trip to Langkawi

Hi Had a great trip this holidays with my son My special mention to the abroad agent whom i was so impressed with her immediate response to msgs and pick and drop .Plans were good for sightseeing and other activities My suggestion is if there was a guide who can explain things during city tour about history of the place its importance that would be great rather than booking a cab driver who simply drops in the place and waits in car Hope the team works in that angle of giving a guided tour Island hopping and Jet skiing with my teenage son
