What it costs to cancel, and how refunds are paid.

Last updated: 17 September 2026

Overview

We understand that plans change. This policy is designed to be fair to travellers and to the company, which starts paying for hotels, transport and tickets from the moment a trip is booked. Registration charges are non-refundable.

Cancellation charges

If you cancel a booking, these charges apply, counted from the departure date:

7 to 14 days before departure75% of the total package cost
Less than 7 days before departure, or no-show100% of the total package cost

The deposit is non-refundable in all cases.

Refunds

  • Approved refunds are processed within 10 to 15 business days, to the original payment method.
  • Bank or transaction charges incurred in processing a refund are borne by the traveller.
  • No refund is given for an early departure, a no-show, a reduction in rooms, unused nights or an early check-out.
  • Once hotel vouchers have been released after full payment, the booking is non-refundable.

Train tickets

Train tickets are issued through IRCTC and follow IRCTC's own cancellation and refund rules. We take no responsibility for Tatkal tickets.
