    Geetha's 4 days trip to Penang

    I recently booked my Malaysia trip with Abroad Vacations and had an amazing experience! Everything was well-organized — from flights and hotel bookings to local tours and transfers. The itinerary covered all the key attractions like Kuala Lumpur city tour, Genting Highlands, Langkawi beaches, and
    the cable car experience. The team was responsive and guided me throughout the trip. Special thanks to my travel consultant Himanshu who handled all queries patiently and made sure my trip was smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommended for anyone planning an international vacation — Abroad Vacations is professional, reliable, and budget-friendly!

    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 anywhe
    re 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 Penang

    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 supportiv
    e 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
