点评:We visited Kashmir in May with our two young children and had a really lovely experience from start to finish. Our trip included 2 nights in Srinagar at Apple Orchid Resort and 3 nights in Gulmarg at Grand Mumtaz, and both hotels made our stay very comfortable.
Apple Orchid Resort in Srinagar was a great start to the trip, and Grand Mumtaz in Gulmarg was equally enjoyable. In both places, the rooms were comfortable, the hospitality was warm, and the food was excellent. When you’re travelling with children, these things matter a lot, and both hotels did a wonderful job of making us feel at home.
A big part of why the trip went so smoothly was Discover Gulmarg Adventures, run by Irfan. He arranged an Innova for us for the entire trip, and everything was managed very well. We didn’t have to keep following up or worrying about logistics, which made a huge difference when travelling as a family. Irfan was helpful throughout, easy to coordinate with, and gave us practical, honest suggestions instead of the usual touristy recommendations.
We especially appreciated that he took us to a reputed local place to buy traditional Kashmiri dry fruits and bakery goodies. The quality was excellent, and it was one of those small touches that made the trip feel more genuine and well planned.
Kashmir is beautiful in itself, but good hospitality can completely shape the experience, and that’s exactly what we felt on this trip. Thank you to the teams at Apple Orchid Resort and Grand Mumtaz, and to Irfan at Discover Gulmarg Adventures, for helping make this such a memorable family holiday. We’d be very happy to recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Kashmir.
P.S. There can be overcrowding at the Gulmarg Gondola ride so it is best to start early by 8 am. The tickets cost around Rs. 1800 up to level 2. This is a per person cost.
翻译:五月份我们带着两个年幼的孩子去了克什米尔,从头到尾都度过了一段非常美好的时光。我们的行程包括在斯利那加的苹果兰花度假村 (Apple Orchid Resort) 住两晚,以及在古尔马尔格的格兰德蒙塔兹酒店 (Grand Mumtaz) 住三晚,两家酒店都让我们住得非常舒适。
斯利那加的苹果兰花度假村为我们的旅程开了个好头,古尔马尔格的格兰德蒙塔兹酒店也同样令人愉快。两家酒店的房间都很舒适,服务热情周到,食物也美味可口。带着孩子旅行,这些细节都非常重要,而这两家酒店都让我们感觉宾至如归。
这次旅行如此顺利,很大程度上要归功于伊尔凡 (Irfan) 经营的“探索古尔马尔格探险之旅”(Discover Gulmarg Adventures)。他为我们安排了一辆丰田Innova,全程使用,一切都安排得井井有条。我们无需操心任何后勤安排,这对于一家人旅行来说至关重要。伊尔凡全程都非常乐于助人,沟通协调也很顺畅,而且他提供的都是切实可行的建议,而非常见的旅游宣传。
我们尤其感谢他带我们去了一家当地口碑不错的店,购买传统的克什米尔干果和烘焙食品。品质上乘,正是这些贴心的小细节,让这次旅行更加真实,也更加精心安排。
克什米尔本身就很美,但热情好客的服务更能提升旅行体验,而这正是我们在这次旅行中感受到的。感谢苹果兰花度假村 (Apple Orchid Resort) 和格兰德蒙塔兹酒店 (Grand Mumtaz) 的团队,以及探索古尔马尔格探险公司 (Discover Gulmarg Adventures) 的伊尔凡,是他们让这次家庭旅行如此难忘。我们非常乐意向所有计划前往克什米尔旅行的人推荐他们。
附注:古尔马尔格缆车可能会比较拥挤,所以最好早上8点前出发。票价约为1800卢比(至2层),这是每人的价格。
