点评:As a frequent visitor, I recently visited Srinagar.The charm of Kashmir always attracts me and my family and this time tour was organized by Ms. Sabreena, through 'Ohana Holidays', who is a generous girlie and easily available on phone any time. We landed at around 8:30 a.m. in morning on 27th of December at Srinagar Airport. Temperature was in minus out side the Airport. At arrival gate many cab drivers were waiting with placards of names of their customers but our driver was nowhere. I called him on phone and he asked me to go to car parking. I tried to find him but he was unable to tell me correct point to reach. After all he mat us and then we moved towards the city. He took us to Shalimar Bagh but we reached there before 10 a.m. and the Shalimar Bagh was not open for public at that time. I asked the Driver Mr. Zahid to take us to House boat but he said that the check in time was 2:00 pm. All those negative things made me a little bit annoyed. I requested to Ms. Sabreena to arrange our early check in. However, it was a tough task for her but she arranged in another House boat of Anarkali group our early check-in. That was a small house boat with only 3 rooms and was too cold. The staff available there arranged good coffee for me and tea for other family members. The staff members were well mannered and courteous but me and my family was not happy with the house boat. The forcast of snowfall after 2nd of January again made us disappointed. At 3pm our driver Mr. Zahid requested to allow him to go his home (at nearby village) as there was snow falling and if he could not reach his village within one hour, he would be stuck on road for whole night. I allowed him to go. At 3:30 pm, it was pleasant surprise for us that the snow fall begin in Srinagar too. It changed our mood positively. But at 6:00 pm in the evening, the staff of House boat informed us that we had to transferred from here to our premium House boat, which was situated on the other end of Nigeen Lake. The whole lake was freezed and Shikara rowing was very difficult for two boatmen. One was breaking the ice and other was rowing the shikara. That shikara ride in the darkness of night was a horrible experience for us. Somehow, we reached our originally booked houseboat. It was a big and beautiful double storeyed houseboat with 8 rooms, pantry, dining hall, big drawing room, deck and lobby. The staff members of Houseboat Mr. Shabbir and Waseem welcomed us with good hot tea and arranged fire in Bukhari to keep us warm in the drawing hall of houseboat. At 8:30 pm, they arranged a very tasty dinner for us. Two families of tourists were already staying there and everyone praised the deliciousness of dinner. At 11:00 pm on our request the staff again served us the tea. The snow fall continued whole of the night and Shabbir and Waseem worked whole of the night to remove the snow from the rooftop of the House boat. Next day at 9:00 am they served a delicious breakfast. The weather was cold but surrounding was scenic. We took photographs, played with snow and enjoyed a lot. Everywhere snow was lying like a white sheet. On that day we had to transferred to Hotel Six Season, therefore the staff arranged a motor operated shikara for us to reach the Ghat No. 1 at Lalbag. We had already informed the driver but again he parked the Vehicle (Tavera SUV) very far from the Ghat. We reached the hotel around 12:00 in the noon. It was a triple storey 3 star hotel with 38 specious neat and clean rooms. There were two big halls for party or meeting purpose on first floor and a specious dining hall at ground floor. The hotel was centrally air conditioned.Overall the hotel and it's service was very very good and is situated near highway but the cons is there was no lift, compound was not maintained and outer gate was like a factory's gate. The outside of hotel also needed to be decorated. During check-in formalities, we were served the hot Kahwa, the essence of kashmir. We were given two rooms at second floor. Rooms were warm, air conditioned and washrooms were neat and clean. It would be injustice with the kitchen staff to not mention here. The tasty meals and breakfast they prepared and served by heart. All the staff members were too nice, courteous and soft spoken. Unfortunately, I forgot their names and unable to mention here. After shifting in the hotel room, I called Mr. Zahid, the driver of cab to go to local market. But he replied that was on the way to his home. Thus, the second day again spoiled. However Mr. Zahid is sweet and a nice guy but due to lack of maturity, he was unable to understand our requirements. Therefore, I called Sabreena and requested to change the driver. Next day (On third day) Mr. Bashir/Mairaj was present at hotel compound with his SUV. We decided to go to Doodhpathari. It is a very beautiful place with amazing scenic views but due to snow freezed on all over the road, driving was too difficult. Many vehicles were stuck on the way. Mr. Basheer tried his best to reach the destination point but just 8 kms away we compelled to return back as police was not allowed to go beyond that. During the travel Mr. Basheer became very familiar with us. We took lunch at roadside dhaba and reached the hotel around 3:30. There after we enjoyed the shopping at Sunday Market of Srinagar. On fourth day we reached Tungmarg and from there Darang fountain. My children enjoyed the ATV (bike riding) . In the evening, we went Dalgate for shopping from some of our familiar shops. On fifth day we have to return and to take our flight at 5:40 pm. Therefore, we packed our luggage and checked out from the hotel Six Season. Mr. Basheer came at 9:30 am and took away us to local market, there we took Chicken kanti dish in lunch with him. It was a very tasty and delicious meal ...thank to Mr. Basheer to introduced us with the said dish. Thereafter he dropped us at Srinagar Airport at 3:00pm. Basheer Bhai and we all became very emotional at the time of this farewell. To contact with Ms. Sabreena, Ohana Holidays Tour operator and Mr. Basheer is an achievement of this Srinagar visit. It was a pleasant surprise to had contact all time with Sabreena during this tour. Unfortunately, we have no enough time to meet her in her office but she was available on phone whenever we needed.. Thanks Mr. Aakib, waseem, shabbeer, Irfan, Shahid, Zahid, Basheer Miyan, Ohana Holidays and not least but last sweet and soft spoken Sabreena. Overall we enjoyed a lot.
翻译:作为一名常客,我最近去了斯利那加。克什米尔的魅力总是吸引着我和我的家人,这次旅行是由 Sabreena 女士通过“Ohana Holidays”组织的,她是一个慷慨的女孩,随时可以通过电话联系到她。我们于 12 月 27 日上午 8:30 左右降落在斯利那加机场。机场外气温为零下。在到达口,许多出租车司机举着写有客户姓名的牌子等着,但我们的司机却不见踪影。我给他打电话,他让我去停车场。我试图找到他,但他无法告诉我正确的到达地点。他终于接了我们,然后我们向城市走去。他带我们去了 Shalimar Bagh,但我们在上午 10 点之前就到了那里,而 Shalimar Bagh 当时不对公众开放。我让司机 Zahid 先生带我们去船屋,但他说入住时间是下午 2:00。所有这些负面的事情让我有点恼火。我请求 Sabreena 女士安排我们提前入住。然而,这对她来说是一项艰巨的任务,但她安排我们在 Anarkali 集团的另一艘游艇上提前入住。那是一艘只有 3 个房间的小游艇,太冷了。那里的工作人员为我准备了好咖啡,为其他家庭成员准备了茶。工作人员彬彬有礼,但我和我的家人对游艇并不满意。1 月 2 日之后的降雪预报再次让我们失望。下午 3 点,我们的司机 Zahid 先生要求允许他回家(在附近的村庄),因为当时正在下雪,如果他不能在一小时内到达他的村庄,他将被困在路上一整晚。我让他走了。下午 3:30,令我们惊喜的是,斯利那加也开始下雪了。这让我们的心情变好了。但到了晚上 6 点,船屋的工作人员通知我们必须从这里转移到我们位于尼根湖另一端的高级船屋。整个湖面都结冰了,对于两个船夫来说,划希卡拉非常困难。一个在破冰,另一个在划希卡拉。在漆黑的夜晚划希卡拉对我们来说是一次可怕的经历。不知怎么的,我们终于到达了我们最初预订的船屋。这是一艘又大又漂亮的双层船屋,有 8 个房间、厨房、餐厅、大客厅、甲板和大厅。船屋的工作人员 Shabbir 先生和 Waseem 先生用美味的热茶欢迎我们,并在 Bukhari 生火让我们在船屋的客厅里保持温暖。晚上 8:30,他们为我们准备了一顿非常美味的晚餐。两个游客家庭已经住在那里,每个人都称赞晚餐的美味。晚上 11:00,应我们的要求,工作人员再次为我们端上了茶。雪下了一整夜,Shabbir 和 Waseem 整夜工作,清除船屋屋顶上的积雪。第二天早上 9:00,他们提供了美味的早餐。天气很冷,但周围景色优美。我们拍照、玩雪,玩得很开心。到处都是白雪皑皑的。那天我们必须换乘六季酒店,因此工作人员为我们安排了一辆机动式希卡拉,送我们到拉尔巴格的 1 号山路。我们已经通知了司机,但他又把车(Tavera SUV)停在离山路很远的地方。我们中午 12:00 左右到达酒店。这是一座三层的三星级酒店,有 38 间宽敞整洁的客房。一楼有两个大厅,可用于聚会或会议,一楼有一个宽敞的餐厅。酒店有中央空调。总的来说,酒店和服务都非常好,而且靠近高速公路,但缺点是没有电梯,大院没有维护,外门就像工厂的大门。酒店外部也需要装饰。在办理入住手续时,我们享用了热腾腾的 Kahwa,这是克什米尔的精华。我们被安排在二楼的两个房间。房间温暖,有空调,洗手间干净整洁。如果不在这里提及厨房员工,那将是不公平的。他们用心准备和提供的美味佳肴和早餐。所有工作人员都非常好,彬彬有礼,说话轻声细语。不幸的是,我忘记了他们的名字,无法在这里提及。在酒店房间换了个房间后,我打电话给出租车司机扎希德先生,让他去当地市场。但他回答说是在回家的路上。因此,第二天又被毁了。然而,扎希德先生是个善良的人,但由于不够成熟,他无法理解我们的要求。因此,我打电话给 Sabreena 并要求更换司机。第二天(第三天),Bashir/Mairaj 先生开着他的 SUV 来到酒店大院。我们决定去 Doodhpathari。这是一个非常美丽的地方,风景秀丽,但由于路面上到处都是雪,开车太难了。途中许多车辆被困。Basheer 先生竭尽全力到达目的地,但仅 8 公里之外,我们被迫折返,因为警察不允许超越该距离。旅途中,Basheer 先生与我们非常熟悉。我们在路边的小餐馆吃午饭,大约 3:30 到达酒店。之后,我们在斯利那加的周日市场购物。第四天,我们到达了 Tungmarg,然后从那里去了 Darang 喷泉。我的孩子们喜欢 ATV(骑自行车)。晚上,我们去达尔盖特从一些熟悉的商店购物。第五天,我们必须返回并乘坐下午 5:40 的航班。因此,我们收拾行李并从 Six Season 酒店退房。Basheer 先生在早上 9:30 来到这里,带我们去了当地市场,我们在那里吃了鸡肉 kanti 菜作为午餐。这是一顿非常美味可口的饭菜……感谢 Basheer 先生向我们介绍了这道菜。随后,他于下午 3:00 送我们到斯利那加机场。告别时,Basheer Bhai 和我们都情绪激动。与 Ohana Holidays 旅行社的 Sabreena 女士和 Basheer 先生取得联系是这次斯利那加之行的一大收获。在这次旅行中,与 Sabreena 一直保持联系真是令人惊喜。不幸的是,我们没有足够的时间在她的办公室与她会面,但只要我们需要,她随时可以接听电话。感谢 Aakib 先生、waseem、shabbeer、Irfan、Shahid、Zahid、Basheer Miyan、Ohana Holidays,以及最后甜美而温柔的 Sabreena。总的来说,我们玩得很开心。
