Dear all,
I have spent time to write this review with an intention to help travelers in choosing the right package and company. Last month, i travelled to kashmir by booking charismatic kashmir with gulmarg (Group) package.
1. My first day was at california group of house boat and my stay was extremely uncomfortable. There was no electricity for 24 hours in this houseboat and there was no back up either. Due to lack of ventilation in the room, it was very suffocating. The manager of the houseboat was not hospitable at all. The food offered by him was tasteless and bad. For every chapatti or omelet or second serving, the minimum waiting time was 30 minutes. If anyone is planning to travel to kashmir through this package, strictly avoid this houseboat.
2. My second day was at alpine ridge – a hotel with decent rooms and average food. Thank god, there was a buffet with limited options. At least the basics were in place.
3. My third and fourth days were at himalaya house – pahalgam — the usp of this guest house is its location. I am calling it a guest house because the rooms were below average and food service was exceptionally poor. All meals are started an hour late. So if intimated dinner time is 8 pm, it will start at 9 pm. The food was very bad in terms of taste, variety and presentation. And for a second serving, the minimum waiting time was 30 minutes which is the most irritating part. I skipped 2 dinner meals because of this bad service.
4. My last 2 days stay was at pride inn in srinagar, another guesthouse that makemytrip sold to us as a hotel but definitely the best guesthouse of the trip. It offered a decent room, limited menu buffet. The buffet service was below average and we could see almost all guests shouting and screaming at the staff during breakfast and dinner because of this.
On day 6, while most of the group members had come back in time for lunch, the scheduled lunch service was not provided to the group members and we had to pay for our lunch at a local restaurant.
Our travel to various destinations was in a shared vehicle that was comfortable. Srinagar was very hot but still ac of the vehicle was not switched on making the travel in srinagar very uncomfortable.
Makemytrip has charged a decent amount per person for the above package but the services offered were very disappointing. We voiced our concerns to the makemytrip representative vikas but i never got a call from the company to get a feedback.
