Trip to Jammu and Kashmir

I booked through Exposure holidays. Experience was bad. Extremely bad, adamant, rude and misbehaved non cooperative driver was provided. Five days of torture. At houseboat, there was almost nil breakfast was provided. It was just bread and tea. It was terrible stay at house boat. Exposures tried to help but no use. Driver was worst. You need to reconsider recommendation
