So you can understand what was the scenario:)). 2nd thing we paid our advance amount directly to hotel so no problem for trust or hotel change.

We afraid about service but they welcomed us at Srinagar airport from there everything was smooth and nice. Our lady guide provided by Krishtrip was amazing. She taken care of everything, every moment. We used to get call from Krishtrip regular basis. Starting from hotel to vehicle condition and our driver all were very fantastic. We enjoyed a lot. This year ending we are planning to Kerala, we will definitely go through Krishtrip. Amazing company, amazing team, am ...more
