KASHMIR SCAM , They Scammed Us ,Travel Agency Fraud , Kashmir Tourism Ruined ???

[@SinghExplorers]

100% agree with you..I went to Kashmir last December and had the worst experience ever..Scammers everywhere just trying to loot tourists..I had been to 32 countries but never had such bad experience specially with taxi drivers..I will never recommend anybody to go Kashmir because of this(But on the contrary Kashmir is very beautiful)

Thanks for the info as I will be traveling there soon.Feel the new generation needs to learn how to welcome tourists to their beautiful place.

[@ExploreWithArpitaM]

Yes!🙌🏻

[@qamarabassmalik]

We definitly welcome whole hearetedly however make sure you to know the agency with their previous experince and reviews. There are agencies with 1000's of 5-star reviews , real guest expereines , YT videos of guest experiences so you alaready know your trip is in safe hands. There are 100's of agencies in Kashmir and its getting more and more competetive , Most people who travel to kashmir make the mistake of choosing a wrong agency and the reason of choosing it is usally these new unreputed agencies offer cheapest pricing and that is where things get comporimised.

[@parivartan8753]

I belong to Kashmir but i can understand the tensions you might have gone through. I always advise people to not go through travel agencies.

@@harshal18100 this time you can the most mesmerizing place you can watch is Gulmarg. It is famous tourist spot. You can spend two days here. Also the evenings at gulmarg are worth to spend. Also if you are thinking to take a ride on Gondola just don't book it online. When youreach there and if there is rush at the booking counter then book online on the spot.

[@Fozia_32]

I came across this video while scrolling through KZbin. Firstly, I felt bad hearing about your experience. Secondly, I myself work with a travel agency as a tour operator, and experiences like this really do impact the entire tourism industry. But there are good and bad people everywhere. Sometimes, clients tell me, "Ma'am, we are getting this package at a lower rate from another travel agency." My only concern is to make sure that they check properly to avoid any scammers and not to feel pressured. In short, thorough checking is necessary. I had never heard of cab drivers doing this in my work place as it will impact their salary also and not possible to create an itinerary according to the client🤔. But overall, I felt bad that you faced such difficulties in our Kashmir.

We went this month with family including two children less than 5 years. I thought the trip would be challenging after looking few such videos but it was a decent experience. I will just put my points. 1) Travel agency was nice 2) Accomodation was average but had no major issues 3) Places and points are obviously very scenic and absolutely worth going. 4) People at tourist places did want to sell their services but not too much bothersome and would leave if politely refused. 5) We had two Cab drivers and one in Pahalgam from their taxi union - all were genuine and nice. No problem. If someone is wanting to visit, go positively and enjoy the nature and the people.
