From the instant my toes touched down in Kashmir, I experienced a rare thing– travel perfection — as planned by Kashmir caravans. Security /safety which has been an issue for many Americans considering travel to Kashmir, was a complete non-issue. Our itinerary was planned specifically for us with the most luxe accommodations, wonderful adventures, and most impressive of all was our personal guide Muzaffar Andrabi who is incredibly knowledgeable, charming, sophisticated, thoughtful, and efficient (American style). Since he’s lived and traveled in America, Muza totally gets what savvy Americans need and want when we travel and it’s done before you can even think of it. He also happens to own the company with his brothers. They know pretty much everything about India and that’s specifically why I’m coming back very soon!. Kashmir is mysterious, gorgeous and intriguing with its tribes, its unique architecture, its lost-in-time markets, its astonishing Venetian-like waterways and spectacular landscapes framed by the Himalayas. Go there with Muzaffar and see for yourself all its magnificence and mystery.
