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!

Sakshi's 5 days trip to Penang

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

Vidya's 8 days trip to Penang

We booked 7 days and 6 nights Malaysia tour through Kushark Holidays. Travel and activities. Overall it was well arranged trip thanks to Sagar. He is always there whatever might be the day and time. Response is excellent. I would definitely recommend them for anyone going to Malaysia. Thanks to Sagar Sonker and Kushark Holidays. One small feedback is that it would be good to have some flexibility in car pickup timings while in the country.

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 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 Penang

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.
