Family Getaway 4 Days 3 Nights Kodnadu Elephant Park Vacation Package

Overall the trip was good with some minor hiccups. 1) The houseboat under 'King's boat' was nicely furnished and the owners were warm and hospitable. The dinner was freshly cooked and good taste. The Shikara tour and surrounding is nice. 2) On the date of arrival and also the 2nd day, the car that came to fetch us was late. We were ushered to another car by driver who mistook us for another guest. Thank God he found out in time when I asked him where was the guide Javid. Only saw the guide Javid on the first day and the 3rd night. He was to meet us on the last day (4th day) according to driver but couldn't make it after all. As we didn't like the location of our hotel for the 2nd and 3rd night after houseboat, I had to pay in full for the a replacement hotel nearer to Dal Lake. It cost me additional 4800 INR for the 3rd night. At first Javid told me I could pay the difference of 1500 INR, but he didn't managed to get the refund from the original hotel, and I was only informed after I had already checked out of the original hotel. I am thinking as a travel agent, he should be able to get a better rate and I found out that replacement hotel has other standard room that cost half the price I paid. I trusted Javid to get me a hotel at reasonable rate, but that was not as I thot. 3) On recommendation of driver, we substituted Sonamarg with the tour of the Moghul Gardens at Srinagar instead. It was indeed a better option.

It was a great trip

We are very satisfied with the tour. The driver is friendly and helpful. Thank you so much for that.
