Booking & Refund Policy

Clear Booking Rules For A Smoother Trek Experience

This Booking & Refund Policy explains how bookings are confirmed, how payments are handled, what happens in case of cancellation or rescheduling, and how refund eligibility is determined for treks, tours, expeditions, and adventure departures booked through our platform or team.

Booking Clarity
Payment Rules
Refund Conditions
Confirmation

Booking After Approval

Your booking is treated as confirmed only after payment requirements and availability confirmation are completed.

Advance Rules

Advance May Be Required

An advance amount may be needed to reserve seats, departures, stays, transport, or operational slots.

Refund Basis

Time & Policy Dependent

Refunds may depend on cancellation timing, applicable costs, permits, and vendor commitments already made.

Rescheduling

Subject To Approval

Date changes or transfer requests may be allowed only if operations, availability, and policy permit.

Submitting an enquiry or partial communication alone does not guarantee final booking confirmation.
Cancellation charges may apply depending on how close the cancellation is to the departure date.
Refund processing time can vary depending on payment mode, internal approval, and vendor settlement cycle.
01

Booking Request & Confirmation

A booking request may be initiated through website forms, WhatsApp, call, email, direct enquiry, or manual coordination with our team. However, a booking shall be considered confirmed only when:

  • Required traveller details have been submitted correctly
  • Seat / batch / departure / service availability has been verified
  • Required advance or full payment has been received
  • Confirmation has been communicated by our team through an official channel
02

Payment Terms

Advance Payment

An advance amount may be required to reserve the trip, hold a departure slot, block accommodation, transport, permits, or other related arrangements.

Balance Payment

The remaining balance must be paid within the communicated timeline. Delay in balance payment may affect booking status, trip eligibility, or final confirmation.

Payment Mode Charges

Bank charges, gateway fees, transfer costs, taxes, or payment collection-related deductions may apply depending on mode of payment.

Price Revision

Quoted prices may change before final confirmation in certain cases involving third-party rates, route changes, taxes, permits, or operational adjustments.

03

Traveller Responsibility At Booking Time

Correct Details

You must provide correct name, age, contact details, date preference, pickup choice, and participant count while booking.

Required Documents

You may be required to provide ID proof, declarations, or other documents depending on the trek, destination, or local rules.

Fitness Awareness

You are responsible for choosing a trek suitable for your physical condition, health profile, and experience level.

Reachability

You must remain reachable on the submitted contact number or email for coordination, updates, and pre-departure communication.

04

Cancellation By Traveller

If you cancel your booking, the refund amount, if any, may depend on the applicable cancellation timeline, non-refundable commitments, administrative costs, permits, transport blocking, accommodation reservations, and vendor payments already made.

  • Cancellation requests should be submitted through the official booking contact or support channel
  • Only written or clearly recorded cancellation requests may be considered valid for processing
  • The date of cancellation request receipt may be treated as the effective cancellation date
  • Any non-refundable components already committed may be deducted before refund processing

Cancellation / Change By Company

In some cases, a trek, batch, route, transport plan, stay arrangement, or departure may need to be changed, postponed, merged, or cancelled due to operational, environmental, weather-related, safety-related, minimum group size, road, or regulatory reasons.

  • Alternative departure or revised plan may be offered where possible
  • Credit note, adjustment, transfer, or partial/full refund may be considered depending on situation
  • Refund treatment may differ where third-party costs have already been consumed or committed
07

Rescheduling & Transfer Requests

Date Change

Rescheduling to another batch or departure may be allowed only if seats are available and internal approval is given.

Transfer Of Amount

Transfer of paid amount to a future trip, another batch, or alternate product may be considered only under applicable policy and approval.

Name Transfer

Name changes or participant substitution may not always be possible, especially where permits, IDs, stays, or vendor records are already locked.

Revision Charges

Rescheduling, transfer, or modification requests may involve fare difference, revision fee, or third-party reprocessing cost.

08

No Show / Late Arrival / Incomplete Participation

If a participant fails to report on time, misses transport, arrives late, leaves the trek midway, or fails to join the booked departure for personal reasons, such cases may be treated as no show or incomplete participation. Refunds in such cases are generally limited or may not apply, especially where operational arrangements have already been executed.

09

Permit, Transport & Vendor Deductions

Some components are often time-sensitive and operationally locked before departure. Refund deductions may arise from:

  • Forest permits, entry fees, special permissions, or local registrations
  • Transport blocking, seat reservation, tempo traveller / cab / bus commitment
  • Hotel, homestay, camp, meal, or local support arrangement already secured
  • Guide, trek leader, porter, mule, technical staff, or local vendor commitments
10

Refund Processing Timeline

Approved refunds are generally processed within a reasonable timeframe, subject to internal verification and vendor settlement status.

  • Refund timeline may vary by payment source and banking cycle
  • Any applicable gateway or transfer deductions may be adjusted where relevant
  • The company may request supporting booking details before processing
11

Non-Refundable Situations

Depending on policy and trip type, the following may be non-refundable or only partially refundable:

  • Last-minute cancellation close to departure
  • No show or failure to join the trip
  • Personal schedule conflict after operational blocking is done
  • Unused inclusions after departure begins
  • Costs already paid to third parties and not recoverable
12

Special Cases & Force Majeure

In the event of road blockage, landslide, weather disruption, natural events, authority restrictions, transport shutdown, local unrest, epidemic conditions, or any force majeure circumstance beyond reasonable control, bookings, schedules, or refunds may be handled on a case-by-case basis depending on recoverability of operational costs and practical feasibility.

13

Policy Interpretation

Booking, refund, rescheduling, credit note, and operational settlement decisions may be interpreted in line with the active company policy, trip category, vendor commitments, and practical recoverability of costs at the time of cancellation or change request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Booking & Refund Questions Travellers Ask

A quick explanation of the most common doubts related to booking confirmation, cancellation, refund eligibility, and date change requests.

Is my booking confirmed after sending an enquiry?

No. Enquiry alone does not guarantee booking. Confirmation depends on payment, availability, and official confirmation from our team.

Will I get a full refund if I cancel?

Not always. Refund amount may depend on cancellation timing, non-recoverable costs, and commitments already made for your booking.

Can I move my booking to another date?

Possibly, but only subject to seat availability, trip policy, and operational approval. Additional charges may apply in some cases.

What happens if the company changes the departure?

Depending on the situation, an alternate departure, adjustment, credit, or refund treatment may be offered.

Are permits and third-party costs refundable?

Not always. Some permit, transport, stay, or vendor costs may become non-refundable once already committed.

How long does refund processing take?

It may vary depending on the payment method, approval cycle, and settlement status of vendors or service partners.
