Elegant Travels And Tours

Running Elegant Travels And Tours from 3 Poloview in Srinagar means we are right in the thick of things. Poloview is such a specific part of town, with the old buildings and the trees that change so much with the seasons. Our office is a modest space. It's number 3, and it’s seen a lot of people come and go over the years. We spend a lot of time on the phone or staring at computer screens, trying to sort out flights and car rentals for people. It gets hectic when the tourist season kicks in, and the streets around Srinagar are full. Other times, like when it’s raining or snowing outside, it’s just us and the sound of the heater humming in the corner. We don’t have a big corporate team, just a couple of us who know the local roads and the best ways to get from one place to another. The desks are usually covered in scraps of paper with scribbled notes about bus timings or hotel availability. We drink a lot of kehwa during the day to stay warm. People walk in off the street at 3 Poloview asking for directions or wanting to know about the weather up in the mountains. We tell them what we know. It’s not about selling a dream; it’s just about getting the logistics right so people can get where they need to go without too much trouble. It's honest work and it keeps us busy.
