Rozmina Shethwala Google Maps customer review

“Overall, it was an amazing experience throughout our nine-day trip in the freezing temperatures of December in Kashmir. I recommend this travel company, especially for newly married couples. One personal piece of advice: please choose smaller, cosy rooms in Pahalgam, because bigger rooms take longer to heat up, and the temperature outside went down to −7° on 21 December. Mr Momin, very frankly speaking, was honest and guided us throughout our trip. The vehicle and the driver, Mr Ishfaq, were excellent. Kashmir really is heaven on earth, and for adults and newly married couples it is worth visiting from December to February. Please avoid taking smaller children on a winter trip, as the temperatures in Gulmarg and Sonamarg were freezing.”

“Kashmir is a beautiful place in itself, and the arrangements were very good too. Bashir was one of the best drivers and tourist guides we have had so far. He made the entire experience even better and more memorable for us. The people of Kashmir are warm and hospitable too.”

From the railway station pickup to the hotel bookings, sightseeing, and local guidance, everything was perfectly organised. Their team is highly professional, responsive, and very friendly. They made sure every detail was taken care of, and our comfort was always a top priority. The vehicle provided was clean and well maintained, and our driver was polite and knowledgeable. If you are planning a trip to Kashmir, I highly recommend Travel Arc. You will not be disappointed. They truly offer first-class service and make the journey smooth, safe, and memorable. Thank you, Travel Arc, for making our Kashmir journey unforgettable.”
