About Us: Kashmir Tour Operators and Local Travel Agency
Who We Are and How We Got Here
We're a small team who grew up with these mountains and have been planning Kashmir trips since 2022.
We started because we kept meeting visitors who'd booked rushed, one-size-fits-all trips and gone home having missed the best of the valley. We knew we could do better, so we started planning holidays the way we'd plan them for our own friends.
Today we're one of the Jammu and Kashmir tour and travels companies that couples, families and groups come back to. We arrange honeymoons, family holidays, group tours, Vaishno Devi pilgrimages, ski trips and treks.
We believe the best travel agency for Kashmir tour planning is one that tells you the whole picture upfront. Costs, inclusions, exclusions and terms are explained in writing before you book.

A Local, Kashmir-Based Travel Agency
Makpie Tour and Travels is an independent, locally run Kashmir travel agency. Every package on this website is planned, booked and supported by our own team on the ground.
We work from our head office in Handwara, Kupwara and a branch office in Srinagar, close to Dal Lake. Being based in the valley means our itineraries follow real road, weather and crowd conditions — not a brochure.
For more Kashmir travel ideas and planning guides, we also recommend the detailed Kashmir tour packages resource on Travel Wiki.
How We Write Our Kashmir Travel Guides
Our guides are written by the Makpie Tour and Travels team, based on the trips we plan and the questions our guests ask us every day.
- Local knowledge first: distances, timings and tips come from our own drivers and planners on the ground.
- Checked against official sources: rules and bookings are checked with the J&K Department of Tourism, the J&K Cable Car Corporation and the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board.
- Reviewed regularly: we review every guide and price at least every six months and show the "last updated" date on each page.
- Corrections welcome: spotted something out of date? Email info@makpietravels.com and we'll fix it.
Registrations and memberships
- Registered travel agency with the Jammu & Kashmir Department of Tourism — registration/licence number available on request and verifiable on the official J&K Tourism portal
How Do You Choose the Best Tour Operators in Kashmir?
Look past the headline price and ask three questions: which hotels, private or shared cab, and what's not included.
If you're comparing the best travel agencies in Jammu and Kashmir, also ask who you'll call if something goes wrong at 9 PM in Pahalgam. Good Jammu and Kashmir tour operators will answer all of that in writing. The same goes for tour operators in Srinagar, Kashmir: the best Kashmir tour operators are happy to put every promise on paper.
However you found us, whether you searched for Kashmir tour travels, travels Kashmir or a Srinagar travel agency, you'll get the same written quote.
Our guide on how to choose the best Kashmir tour package covers it in detail, and we're always happy for you to compare our quote with anyone else's.
