About My Trip Companion
A Kashmir travel agency built by someone who never left
We plan Kashmir, Ladakh and Himalayan holidays the way we’d plan a trip for our own family — personally, honestly, and with local people on the ground who actually know the route, not a call centre reading off a script.
Our story
Why My Trip Companion exists
“Too many visitors to Kashmir get the same recycled itinerary, sold by agents who’ve never walked the route themselves.”
That’s the gap My Trip Companion was built to close. We’re a Srinagar-based team planning trips across Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala and Meghalaya — and every itinerary is shaped by people who actually live in, or have personally travelled, the places they’re recommending.
That means knowing which houseboat has the real view, which mountain road a driver shouldn’t rush, and which season actually makes a destination worth the trip — not just repeating what’s already on every other agency’s website.
Where we take you
Five regions, planned by people who know them
Meet the founder
I started My Trip Companion because I was tired of watching visitors leave Kashmir having seen the postcard version and missed the real one. This is my home — I wanted a way to share it properly, planned by people who actually live here.

Real people on the ground, not a booking engine
Every trip we plan is carried out by the same small, local team — not outsourced to whoever’s cheapest that week.
Local Guides
People who’ve spent years in these valleys, sharing the routes, stories and viewpoints that don’t make it into a guidebook.
Drivers & Transport
Background-checked, route-tested drivers who know mountain roads well enough to not rush them.
Trip Coordinators
The people you’ll actually message on WhatsApp — planning, rebooking and troubleshooting while you’re on the road.
What we care about
Three things we don’t compromise on
Local Expertise
Every itinerary is built by people who’ve actually been to the places on it — not assembled from a spreadsheet.
Personalised Planning
Your pace, your budget, your interests. We rework a plan as many times as it takes to get it right.
Always-On Support
A real person on WhatsApp for the full length of your trip — not a ticket queue you wait on.
Let’s plan something worth remembering.
Tell us what you’re picturing and we’ll take it from there.
