seamlessly planned and executed by Irshad. The itinerary was well-balanced, giving us ample time to explore the breathtaking beauty of Kashmir—be it the serene Dal Lake, the majestic mountains of Sonamarg, Gulmarg, or the charming valleys of Pahalgam. Every destination was a masterpiece of nature. Multiple options of accommodations were presented by Oscar travels during the planning stage. The accommodations were top-notch, offering comfort and stunning views, and the local Taxi Driver (Mr. Harris ) more like a friend was very knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help. I highly recommend Oscar Tours & Travel to anyone planning a trip to Kashmir. They made my journey a beautiful and stress-free adventure! Thank you for a lifetime of memories!

t as the hotel did not have any information of a booking in my name. Eventually, it was sorted out with the intervention of the travel agent but this forced waiting was unwarranted and a spoiler as well. Moreover, the travel agent could have advised me to ensure that I indeed had a post paid mobile connection in J&K, which I was not aware of. As a result, I remained without communication except through wifi (WhatsApp) only when I was inside the hotel. Our SIM cards had gone inactive as soon as we entered Jammu region. I had never experienced a snow fall even when I have been travelling for the last 25 years throughout the hills. Encountering a beautiful snowfall was the USP of this Bhaderwah tour.

age everything and provide us credit note against it and not a single rupee is wasted. Now come to the tour part.. we arrived Katra early morning and they provided earlier check in into rooms. We left hotel and Go to Mata Vaishno Devi️ for darshan and our darshan is wonderful experience, we returned tired and shivering in cold. On night there is very cold 略weather so we request for room heater to hotel reception but they earlier denied and later ready to provide by paying. Then I contacted our tour operator (Ms. Arjumand ma'am), they sorted everything and hotel provides. We took rest on second day and in evening we explore Katra Local market and buy Prasad and Dryfruits. Now we left to next destination PatniTop and cab came right time and we left the hotel. During on the way to Patanitop we clicked pictures on side road views. We arrived hotel and take few hours rest and left for sightseeing, we enjoyed in snow and clicked pictures and videos. We seen apple garden (fall season so not very attractive) Rose garden and may more small local locations. Then we arrived PatniTop point here we see lots of snow and enjoying it, we played in snow and making ice balls, sliding in ice. Our Driver cum guide ( Mahmood) very cooperative and supportive. He clicked pictures even in snow. After that we left for Natha Top here also we enjoyed snow and viewpoints. We are tired and left for hotel, meanwhile we enjoyed maggie and momos with tea in snow.☕ We reached hotel and it's our Anniversary so I requested hotel to arrange a cake and candles, they done everything as we needed. Next morning after breakfast we left hotel and returned to Jammu Railway station. During return on the way we enjoyed few garden and viewpoints. So I recommend anyone who Read this if you are planning to come J&K tour, give them a chance to service. Thank you Jolly Holidays and Ms. Arjumand ma'am to making our trip memorable. Thank you for reading ☺️ have a happy holiday .

halgam hotel vista was fabulous for food n sevice and facilities. Hotel classic was good but there was service issues. Man power n electricity issue was little bit we observed there.

ing provided accommodation in 3 or 4 star hotels, but 2 of the hotels were either 2 or 3 star. I was also provided an itinerary, but that mostly involved doing the activities mentioned in it by myself, as the driver provided to us, refused to go to most of the locations/points and insisted on booking union cabs, stating that he is not allowed beyond a certain point. I found out afterwards that there is a huge scam going on in Kashmir which involves availing Union cabs and ponies in Gulmarg, Pahalgam & Sonmarg (please research it yourself). But I couldn't share my concerns with anyone as the booking agent stopped responding to my calls or messages after I paid the remaining amount on 3rd day so I was left helpless and had to follow what our driver used to say. Anyways Kashmir is still a place worth visiting and with some research, one can plan and book everything like hotels, cabs etc. by themselves and get much better deals on everything instead of booking the package through travel agencies. Also, please research about the prices of activities in Gulmarg as the amount they quote there is about 5-8 times of the actual prize.

erience: 1. We were not intimated about the actual cost of the union cabs and guide which we needed too pay additionally. It would have been great if we knew the additional approximate amount. 2. The amount of time people demanding tip ..

ong i choosed the agencies, i personally suggest travel triangle to choose you destination with them, don't go by negative reviews and travel triangle they helped me a lot hitesh was my travel planner he helped me a lot thanks to them . Kashmir was one of my memorable trip

resorts. They also handled our transfers from hotels , sightseeing via knowledgeable driver who guided us very well throughout our trip, also keep our safety first. A big thank you to Ms Anu Mam for making our Kashmir trip wonderful.

erience. Their guidance and arrangements for sightseeing, including the Gulmarg Gondola ride and Pahalgam activities, were commendable. Overall, the agent's professionalism and support contributed to a memorable trip.

nt will decide for, you get to near that you can only take a good peaceful ride only if you are ready to pay a minimum of 2k. Else you can only go max of a 100m which will hardly take 20mins. The rest 40 mins you will be sitting still and get pestered by hawkers selling Kahwa or sometimes by photographers. Pony ride at Pahalgam is the biggest scam. While your cab driver will be assisting you to negotiate with the pony owners he actually is trying to get cut. Same with cabs at Sonmarg. Now let's come to the good part Hotels Dewan Vintage gulmarg Of robusta retreat Were seriously good With good service and rooms as per the prices respectively. While Eden at Pahalgam had a great room but unfortunately pathetic service. Buffet dinner and breakfast being a disaster where you have to wait to even get plates or bowls. Then for every dish you need to ask to refill them. Breakfast was the worst where we needed to literally wait for the paratha and omelette because all the items were over and paratha was the only item we got. I would like to say that our driver was knowledgeable and was helpful. The vehicle provided was good.

rovided was in perfect new shape only issue with cab was driver driving way too slow and was inexperienced not related to driving but related to points, places to roam at. Driver was not aware about proper points detailing and was lacking bit of experience in terms of giving accurate info and details to passengers travelling, these caused us to pay at places where we actually did not need to pay. Agency has vast experience of handling customers no doubts in that part but there is definite scope of improvement at parts of arranging better transportations. 1. Katra Vaisnodevi 2. Pahalgam stay at hotel (Best of all places we stayed) 3. Srinagar Shikara Ride 4. Srinagar Local Sight seeing (Lalchowk and shopping)

ortable, and the vehicle was clean and well-maintained. Our car Driver was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience even more enjoyable by sharing interesting insights about the local culture and history. The accommodations were generally good, though a few could benefit from better maintenance. For instance for Pahalgam stay. However, the locations of the hotels were excellent, offering beautiful views of the surrounding landscapes. The food provided during the trip was delicious, and it was a great introduction to Kashmiri cuisine. However, I would suggest offering more variety, especially for travelers with dietary restrictions. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and I appreciate the effort your company put into organizing the trip. I look forward to traveling with you again and hope the points mentioned will help enhance future tours. Thank you for making this trip special!

same service quality and standards.

tlet was having boiled water even in jet spray. Extra beddings were not comfortable at all. We asked them to replace the extra bedding but they did not replace it and said that's all they have got. Blankets were not clean and after repeated requests to travel agency they did not changed the room or hotel. Travel agency were also not responding on times. And in the end when we asked them to drop at pathankot in place of Jammu, they asked for rupees 10000 for just 100 km. So overall Kashmir is very beautiful place but our experience with Travel agency and hotels were mixed. Won't recommend the agency to others they even charged extra for our child even after mentioning in the itenary and denied accepting that the child was included at all.

7 days no other choice if nonveg. Othwse we had an excellent experience and hv also shared contacts to few friends who hv already asked about the planners. Thank you so much. Gulmarg welcoming us with snowfall
