Booking of a Tour
As soon you are ready to proceed with the reservations, you will be required to send 20% of the total tour cost as an advance payment to make the booking. Apart from the 20% of the tour price, you would also need to pay us the full amount for air/train tickets that are required to be issued. As soon as the advance is received, we will initiate the bookings for your hotel reservations, book your tickets and start making necessary arrangements for your trip and keep you updated. Once this is done, a reservation status will be sent to you. You will then be required to pay another 30% of the tour cost at this point. Balance 50% of the tour price should be paid 45 days prior to the commencement of the Tour ** During the peak season of Christmas and New Year (20 Dec to 05 Jan), 100% payment is required to be sent in advance.
Amendment to a Booked Tour
We do not encourage changes in the confirmed arrangements. But if you do need to make amendments in the arrangements already confirmed, we will do all possible to accommodate the changes, depending on the availability in various segments of the tour. However, the changes will be subject to certain minimum amendment and will incur administration charges according to dates .
