5.0Ultimate Kashmir Experience!
The 7-day Kashmir tour was absolutely perfect! Adding Sonamarg made it the complete Kashmir experience. The Thajiwas Glacier was breathtaking, and having proper time in Pahalgam allowed us to actually relax and enjoy the valleys. The houseboat stay on Dal Lake was magical at sunset. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Kashmir's history and culture. Highly recommended for first-time visitors!

4.5Perfect Family Vacation!
Traveled with family including kids and elderly parents. The 7-day pace was perfect - not too rushed. Sonamarg was the highlight for our kids who loved the pony ride to the glacier. Staying multiple nights in Pahalgam allowed us to experience the peaceful evenings by the Lidder 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.
