I visited Kashmir for 8 days with Lone Tour and Travels.
I was initially apprehensive about any travel planner as i was travelling with my old parents but the way Ms Ibra customised the plan for us and explained everything in details, i was pretty sure i wanted their package. From day 1 of landing in Srinagar, their service was top notch. We visited Srinagar, Doodhpathri, Pahalgam, Gulmarg and Sonmarg. It was undoubtedly one of the best domestic trips i ever had, all thanks to this company. I have no words to express my gratitude to Ms Ibra. She silently worked from backend to make sure hotels, food, car and travel was of best quality.
Now comes the main part of the trip- Showkat Bhai, our guide, chauffeur and friend. He was like a family. He went out of his way to help us in everything. Be it bargaining with locals for pony rides, shopping etc or taking us to the best restaurants for local food. He is a hero. My parents never felt so safe with anyone which they felt with him. If you want to enjoy kashmir in a Innova, ask for Showkat bhai. Just listen to this guy blindly and you will get the best out of this trip.
I can now send my senior citizen parents to kashmir or leh ladakh alone if Showkat bhai is there.
Finally, there are lot of misconceptions about kashmir but after visiting the state, i can assure its really safe and you will come across one of the sweetest people in India. People in most of the places, except Gulmarg, will treat you as guests (Mehman) and do everything to please you.
Do visit Kashmir as its really heaven on earth and opt for Lone Tour and Travels without any iota of doubt.
10 stars and kudos to this travel company. ❤️
