Inspite of a few goofups on the while, the stay n tour was satisfactory, thanks to Mr. Munir n his 24x7 availability to solve n overcome tha hiccups. Except the house boat stay at Fizzyhouseboats wh (Read More)ere the shady caretaker Mushtaq had his very nefarious intentions evident when he locked the door of our room from outside for the entire night (he didn't want us to know what was going on in the house boat at night which must be his regular activity in exchange for extra money unknown to the owner). People like him spoil the reputation of Kashmir. He was also curt n rude n didn't provide service as per value for money. He should be brought to task immediately. Again thanks to Mr.Munir of Green dot for his round the clock responsiveness.
