January 29, 2019 I took a private tour of Shogran, Hunza and Naltar with Kashmir Tourista and it was a very good experience overall. Abdullah in particular is quite cooperative. There were few hiccups in hotel accommodation but overall things were streamlined. I would consider them again for my next trip.
