Be it Trekking, Camping, Jeep Safaris, Motorcycling, Cycling etc, all of these activities require detailed planning both by the individual doing these activities or by the people who are offering/ facilitating the conduct of these activities. The plans and all arrangements for a safe and pleasant trip are made months in advance.

However, there are many issues which are beyond the control of the individual participating in an event or the firm organizing the event. Some of the factors beyond our control like inclement weather, bad terrain, strikes, washed away roads/ trails etc. Also events like civil disturbance, strike etc. In view of the above, the individual participant or the firm may have to cancel/ postpone the event or may have to change the itinerary of the event. In such a situation we need to be clear about the payments, cancellations and refunds. For details visit Payments, Cancellations and Refunds.
