15. Cancellation Charges
If a guest wishes to cancel the tour, they must notify the Company in writing along with the original payment receipt. Cancellation will attract charges as per the Cancellation Policy mentioned in the customized tour proposal.
In the event that a tour has to be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances such as a pandemic (e.g., COVID-19), which are considered an “Act of God,” guests will be required to pay ₹2,000 per person as administration charges. The remaining balance amount will be refunded to the client via cheque within a few days after the cancellation. All guests are kindly requested to take note of this policy.
At the time of booking, to ensure a smooth and well-organized travel experience for you and your family, we make advance arrangements such as hotel reservations, transportation bookings, staffing, and tour management by paying necessary deposits in advance.
However, in the event of unforeseen circumstances—whether natural or man-made—such as floods, earthquakes, storms, landslides, political unrest, strikes, riots, acts of terrorism, train or flight rescheduling/cancellations, illness, bereavement in the family, or pandemics like COVID-19 (commonly referred to as an “Act of God”)—if the tour is cancelled or required to be cancelled, we regret that the advance payments made by us towards bookings, as well as administrative and operational expenses, are non-recoverable.
Therefore, in such situations, if the tour is cancelled, a credit note valid for one year will be issued for the amount paid by you. This credit note can be utilized for any future tour with us.
Please note that no cash or cheque refunds will be applicable under any circumstances in such cases.
