点评:I had a great experience with Pashmina Tours. It was super easy to organise and customise the itinerary of meeting different karigars. On the day of I asked Sanjeev if we could start the tour three hours early. Within 20 minutes the driver Mukesh came to pick me up. The car was spotless and fully ACed (a must in the 37 degrees weather).
Sanjeev came round as a tour guide and was great at explaining the craft and translating questions. He made them and me feel totally comfortable and at-ease. He understood partly through the tour that I have a special interest in jewellery, and through his personal contacts got me a meeting with an extremely rare karigar - I will always be totally grateful for that experience.
Even though I was a solo female traveller I didn’t feel un comfortable at any points at all, though Sanjeev mentions he also offers female travellers female tour guides too if it should make them feel comfortable - a great initiative!
I’ll certainly be contacting Pashmina Tours for my next trip to India.
翻译:我在帕什米纳之旅(Pashmina Tours)的体验非常棒。行程安排和定制都非常便捷,可以轻松安排与不同工匠的会面。当天,我询问桑吉夫(Sanjeev)是否可以提前三个小时出发。不到20分钟,司机穆克什(Mukesh)就来接我了。车子一尘不染,而且空调开得很足(在37度的高温下,这可是必备的)。
桑吉夫亲自担任导游,他讲解工艺非常出色,还能翻译问题。他让我和工匠们都感到非常舒适自在。在参观过程中,他了解到我对珠宝特别感兴趣,并通过他的私人关系帮我安排了一次与一位极其罕见的工匠的会面——我将永远感激这次经历。
虽然我是一位独自旅行的女性,但整个旅程中我都没有感到任何不自在。桑吉夫提到,如果女性游客觉得不自在,他也可以安排女性导游——这真是个很棒的举措!
我下次去印度旅行一定会联系 Pashmina Tours。
