We had a wonderful experience with Travgen India during our Kashmir trip. A special thanks to our tour operator, Maliha, for coordinating everything smoothly. (Read More)Most importantly, our driver, Thousif, made our trip truly memorable. He was extremely kind, patient, helpful and trustworthy. He guided us whenever needed and even helped us avoid people who were trying to mislead or overcharge tourists. He happily stopped at several places for our shopping and food, waited patiently for us, and never made us feel rushed. What touched us the most was the way Thousif treated both me and my wife. He treated us just like an elder brother would, with genuine care, respect and affection. His behaviour and character were exceptional. Our experience with Thousif also gave us a beautiful impression of the people of Kashmir. We genuinely loved their warmth, hospitality and kindness. Thank you, Travgen India, Maliha and especially Thousif, for making our honeymoon journey so comfortable, safe and memorable. We will always cherish these memories. Highly recommended!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful experience with Travel Pack Kashmir! I came across them while searching for travel packages and connected with Amjad, who patiently und (Read More)erstood our needs and customised the entire trip according to our preferences. As I was travelling alone with my two children, I was initially a little sceptical about trusting a new travel planner without any references. But they truly exceeded my expectations! One thing I particularly loved was the accommodation they arranged according to our preferences. Sentosa Cove in Pahalgam was a lifetime experience! Waking up to the beautiful mountain views and the peaceful riverside setting was simply magical. It was one of the highlights of our Kashmir trip, and I'm so glad we got to experience it. ❤️🏔️ A special mention to Imran Bhai, our driver, who became like family to us. He took care of me and my children as if we were his own family. His kindness, care, and support made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. He is more like a brother than a driver, and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to accompany us on this trip. Amjad was equally supportive, checking on us every day, keeping track of our plans, and making adjustments wherever needed to ensure everything went smoothly. What started as a trip with people we had never met ended with the beautiful feeling of having travelled with family. ❤️ A heartfelt thank you to Amjad, Imran Bhai, and the entire Travel Pack Kashmir team for making our trip so memorable and stress-free. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone planning a Kashmir trip. They genuinely care about their guests, and that makes all the difference! Thank you for giving us beautiful memories that we will cherish forever! Kashmir will always hold a special place in our hearts. ❤️🌿
