PRIYANSH SINGH • a week ago
I recently booked a Kashmir tour package with Heavens Way, managed by Tehleel Aj (Read More)az, and I must say it was an absolutely wonderful experience. All the arrangements throughout the trip were perfectly organized, leaving us with nothing to worry about.
A special mention to Tehleel for her constant support—she checked in with us daily to ensure everything was going smoothly and that we were comfortable, which truly made us feel cared for.
I would also like to appreciate our driver, Yawar, who was not only an excellent and safe driver but also a very well-spoken and knowledgeable person. He guided us through local areas, shared helpful insights, and made our journey even more enjoyable.
Overall, it was a seamless and memorable trip. Highly recommended for anyone planning to explore Kashmir!
