Milli Travels i guess was too good to be true. First and foremost they formed our itinerary as per our convenience. We had some last minute changes due to t (Read More)he weather conditions, but still without a flinch they rescheduled The accommodation was good, at Vaishno devi and at Srinagar too Last, but not the least the team of Milli Travels was superb. In problematic times, especially when the airports were shut, they personally came over to put our fears at rest. They even went to the extent of offering cash repayable after we return home. In few days we were a family. Kashmir is beautiful, with beautiful souls.
