Johansen Travel Agency - The pioneers of tourism in the state of Jammu & Kashmir since the pre independence era. Conceived in 1943 by a Danish gentleman Johansen along with a local youth
Mr. Ali Mohammed Gosani has the distinction of being the first travel agency in the state of Jammu & Kashmir. Today so many years down the lane when its progenitors are no longer in the picture, the company continues to lead from the front in its area of expertise i.e. providing high grade quality service to its clients. In these last 60 years, the company has grown to cater to a large percentage of both International and Domestic tourists visiting the Himalayan states of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal
Pradesh & Uttaranchal.
The company has contributed tremendously to the upliftment of tourism and done pioneering work in opening up new areas to the tourists. Treks hitherto unknown especially in the Vale of Kashmir and the Moon-Land Ladakh were opened up in the late sixties and the initial seventies due to some extra-ordinary efforts put in by the companies young executive then and now its managing partner Mr. Rashid A Gosani who along with the German school of trekking and Mountaineering DAV UND SKISCHULE MUNICH conducted some first of its kind treks in Ladakh, Nubra and Zanskar.
Mr. Rashid A Gosani has continued on with the legacy inherited from his father the late Ali Mohammed Gosani and worked hard to promote tourism to the Indian Himalayas. The company with its offices in Srinagar, Ladakh, Manali and New Delhi provides the best support system a visiting tourist to the Indian Himalayas can ask for. With excellent service records and the distinction of having worked with every major tour company in India, Johansen Travel Agency can boast of having the best and the most experienced staff that any tour & travel company in Jammu & Kashmir can only be jealous of.
The company over the years has built some beautiful Deluxe Houseboats located on prime locations on the world famous Dal-Lake in Srinagar and also hires other Houseboats on both Dal and Nagin Lakes. Its has its own fleet of cars and jeeps and owns the state of art high altitude gear in the valley with tents, sleeping bags etc. from the Geman company SALEWA. The company can cater to trekking expeditions of approx 100 Pax at a time, which is a feat that has negligible competition.
