5.0Paradise on Earth Experience!
The 6-day Kashmir tour was absolutely magical! The extra day in Pahalgam made all the difference - we actually got to relax and enjoy the valley instead of rushing. The Awantipora ruins were a fascinating historical stop. Our guide was knowledgeable and the houseboat stay was a unique experience. Highly recommended!

4.5Perfect Family Vacation!
Traveled with family including kids and elderly parents. The 6-day pace was perfect - not too rushed. Staying overnight in Pahalgam allowed us to experience the peaceful evenings by the river. The Mughal gardens were beautiful, and the saffron field visit was educational. Food was delicious, especially the traditional Kashmiri Wazwan. Driver was very safe and courteous.
