Weather was awesome and the green beauty of jungle is a treat to watch, but the enjoyment at @Tiger lagoon resort property is something that can’t be forgotten, the food, the atmosphere and the service was worth paying.#TigerLagoonResort

Me and My husband visited for 7N & 8D during april .. It was a great experience with Nishat tours and travels .. Especially Mr. Shaqoor made it more comfortable by listening to us and providing the best .. And yes one thing I feel to mention is that the chauffeur Mr. Aquib was very calm, guiding us properly through our entire trip and yes safest drive through experience.. And one thing to express about Kashmir - it's paradise on earth.. Must visit kashmir and that too through Nishat tours and travel.. And it's safe to travel to kashmir as we were there .. we didn't feel unsafe even for a single min.. I wish we will visit again after this pandemic..

I booked a domestic, international Meet and Assist transit service with your company for the first time. To say that I am very pleased with the service is to say nothing. I was met with a name placard just at the aircraft, taken by cart to a luggage pick-up area, and stayed at an arrival lounge for several hours to wait for my international flight check-in. Your customer service representative, Ajay, was extremely professional and attentive, really took great care of me as a solo female traveler with a few big suitcases, it was important to me to get an assist and feel safe during my transit time. When the time for my check-in came, another employee, Beny, with her colleague, accompanied me to the check-in counters and helped me go through all the procedures, taking me straight to my boarding gates. It was the best airport experience I had in India. Definitely worth every penny. Highly recommended!
