You can choose both options but when hiring direct at the Pahalgam Taxi Stand (https://kashmirholidaypackage.co.in/pahalgam-taxi-services/), you are guaranteed of fixed fares, which are union approved and licensed local drivers. Nevertheless, tourists who reserve Kashmir Holiday Packages (https://kashmirholidaypackage.co.in) tend to hire a pre-booked cab when they are planning to travel at a specific time and ensures that the cabs would be available exactly when they need them. Pre-booking also gives them a better chance of organizing with the hotel check-ins and the sightseeing programs, whereas on-the-spur of the moment employment provides the flexibility to a last-minute trip around Pahalgam and neighboring valleys.
