“The day-wise plan worked well, especially because small timing changes were communicated clearly. For the Srinagar–Pahalgam–Gulmarg route, the driver and schedule worked together smoothly throughout the day. A small thing we valued was that the luggage arrangement was considered when assigning the vehicle. Travelling with friends was convenient because reasonable stops could be adjusted without changing the main plan. We were satisfied with the service, especially the mix of organised sightseeing and dependable transport.”
