“The transport booking was organised well, and we received the driver information before the main travel days. The Srinagar–Doodhpathri Cab arrangement was convenient and removed the need to negotiate transport again during the trip. One thing that reduced confusion was that we received clear guidance about where local vehicle rules could differ. The private transport suited our family because stops could be adjusted around children and older members. We were satisfied with the punctuality, vehicle comfort, and straightforward communication throughout the trip.”
