Chatpal Kashmir
Chatpal — an offbeat destination in Kashmir has largely remained untouched by touristic activities. The theatrical view comprising large forests is probably more than what a tourist can ever ask for.

Pahalgam Tourism
The Lidder river runs through Pahalgam in a rushing gray-green torrent, foam flecked, breaking in curling waves against the boulders that lie in its path. Its sound is an eternal as the whisper of wind through pine and fir, its force primeval its untamed splendor. Long before this little village 96 Km east from Srinagar […]

Excellent experience with Irfan right from planning to execution.
Was very candid from start about what to expect, which routes will/will not have snow, level of difficulty et al. Met us on time as agreed and was very patient throughout with the number of breaks my 6 year old son wanted to take. Will definitely ring him up again whenever we’re back in Pahalgam.
Irfan has very good knowledge of the terrain and will patiently answer your queries. Oh and yes, the kahwa he brought was pretty good too!

We had a wonderful time in Pahalgam - thanks to Irfan, Umar, and team. They arranged us a wonderful trekking and camping experience in Tulian Valley. Their entire team was hospitable, amicable, and made our trek experience enjoyable. Umar was our trek guide and he made the trek seem easy and doable which kept us motivated.
Breathtaking views of Tulian valley and lake were made even better with the team's arrangements. Refreshing hot tea, freshmade Kashmiri food in camp enjoyed with Kashmiri songs and conversations are some memories we would cherish for life.
Special thanks to Irfan again for making other arrangements as requested by us and making our stay most comfortable.
Cannot wait to go back!

Irfan is a thorough professional and was very responsive to all our queries and requests. He was proactive in his communication throughout the process and helped us explore Pahalgam like never before. I was travelling with my mom who is 65+ but he ensured to tailor make our entire itinerary to suit a 65 year old. We returned with memories to cherish forever. Keep doing the good work, Irfan. You have a loyal customer for life !

We visited Pahalgam for two days on Sept 28th and Sept 29th. The highlight of our trip was the trek and outing that we had planned with Irfan. Had called Irfan around a couple weeks back and he suggested that we undertake a beginners trek for half-a-day given this was our first time. He planned a trek from Pahalgam to Betaab valley and a pick up for us from Betaab valley to drive to Chandanwari and Aru valley. He had organised a delicious home cooked Kashmiri meal for us which we all thoroughly enjoyed in Aru valley sitting adjacent to Lidder river. Irfan is a thorough gentleman, down-to-earth and extremely helpful in helping us plan other activities too. He was at our hotel at sharp 9am as he had promised and accompanied us for the trek. Interacting with him and learning about the Kashmiri culture was such a pleasing experience. If one has the bandwidth I would certainly recommend that one attempt something like this away from the hustle bustle and relish nature in its full glory. Thank you Irfan bhai for such a fantabulous experience that we will relish forever. Hope to attempt a moderate trek with you during our next visit. Cheers!

The hospitality, facilities, knowledge of area and making you feel at home ????. Woodwalks trek and tours has my heart. It was my first experience of kashmir, I am from bangalore and I did a 34km trek to tullian lake in 2nights and 3 days. It was everything i imagined only because of Umar (trek guide) and Irfan who arranged tents, our luggage, hotel arrangement’s everything. I don’t think anyone needs to think twice before going ahead with this.

Irfan was the most amazing trekking guide!! Super kind and knowledgeable! My favorite moment was a picnic with my parents in Aru valley - Irfan got home cooked food made by his mum and sister which we all really enjoyed! A lovely experience which I’d recommend to anyone coming to J&K!!

Trek To Mini Switzerland
We were visiting Pahalgam for 2 days and looking to build a trek into our itinerary at short notice. We contacted Woodswalk based on online reviews and, lucky for us, Irfan was available. What an experience it turned out to be ! Irfan took us on a trek to Mini Switzerland (15 Kms to & fro). Almost every tourist makes the journey by pony. The trek, although longer than the pony ride, was a wonderful experience and the highlight of our trip thanks to him. He provided ample time for us to take in the sights, shared relevant information on the area and route, in addition to patiently responding to questions. He is very experienced, knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with.

Lovely hike
I did the Aru valley hike with Irfan, which was lovely. The hike was perfect for a beginner. Irfan was patient to give frequent breaks while hiking up the mountain, as well as for taking photos. It was also fun talking with him throughout the hike as he is very knowledgeable and friendly.

Wonderful tour experience with The Woodswalk Treks and Tours!!
Kashmir is a beautiful place known for its stunning landscapes, serene lakes, and snow-capped mountains where I always wanted to visit. It is a popular destination for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts. The Woodswalk Treks and Tours is a tour agency headed by Mr Irfan, a very humble and down to earth and a very helpful person. The Woodswalk Treks and Tours offers various tour packages in Kashmir and surrounding and specialized in organizing treks, hikes, and expeditions in the region. They provide services such as experienced guides, accommodation, transportation, and customized itineraries to cater to different interests and preferences. To get a better idea of the quality of service provided by the Irfan Bhai, and his agency The Woodswalk Treks and Tours, I would definitely suggest that one must try his tour package. The Woodswalk Treks and Tours provided us the quality accommodations, best guides, and the overall satisfactory and wonderful experience throughout the tour. We visited Srinagar, Doodh Patri, Gulmarg, Boota Patri, Pehelgam etc, and We were lucky to experience and see the fully bloomed tulip garden. For my next visit to Kashmir definitely I am going to book my tour package from Irfan Bhai, The Woodswalk Treks and Tours!!

Lifetime experience!
Amazing! Me and my wife did the Tuliyan lake trek with them and it is by far the best experience we have done so far! Irfan and Umar are so passionate about treks and exploration, they are not doing a service they are sharing their life experience with us. The horse-masters were excellent and the kind of food they gave at the camp spot was blissful! The views in the lake are breathtaking and divine. We were so glad that we chose them!
