From the first conversation until our airport drop, everything was perfectly organized. Their communication was professional, friendly, and trustworthy... From the moment we arrived at Srinagar Airport, everything was very well organised...One of the most memorable experience of our trip was the Dal lake shikara ride,which they arranged for us a Complimentary one.we went during the evening around sunset and the view was absolutely beautiful.Sitting together, enjoying the peaceful Dal lake, watching the sunset,and drinking traditional khawa was a truly Romantic and unforgettable experience for both of us...

They gave us very useful advice about avoiding unnecessary local guides and people who might approach tourists.Because of their proper guidance,we able to enjoy Gulmarg comfortably without any confusion... After completing Gulmarg trip,they picked up on time and dropped us at our hotel...The hotel they arranged was also excellent..

Had a wonderful experience with Wow Kashmir tour and travel agency during our Kashmir trip. Rehmat was extremely kind, warm and welcoming, and made us feel com (Read More)fortable right from the beginning. She was always helpful and approachable whenever we needed anything. The stays were very pretty, cozy and comfortable, and added so much charm to our trip. Kashmir is truly magical, with breathtaking landscapes and beautiful peaceful surroundings everywhere. The views, especially around Gurez, were absolutely stunning and unforgettable. Overall, everything was well planned and smoothly managed, and we had a really memorable experience. Just a small suggestion, please don’t take it the wrong way β€” the complimentary Shikara ride could have been a little better. The ride felt quite slow with frequent stops, so perhaps connecting with more experienced Shikara operators could make the experience even more enjoyable. 😊 Apart from this, everything was really good, beautiful and comfortable. Highly recommend Wow Kashmir tour and travel agency for anyone planning a Kashmir trip! πŸ”οΈβœ¨
