Refund & cancellation policy
Applies to all tours, packages, taxis and bike tours booked with Travel Himalayas.
The word “Company” in this policy means Travel Himalayas. If the client wants to amend or cancel a booking for any reason, including death, accident, illness or any other personal reason, or because the balance payment has not been made, the Company will recover cancellation charges from the client.
All cancellations must be sent to us in writing. The advance amount is non-refundable. In addition to forfeiting the advance, the following charges apply:
Cancellation charges
| When you cancel (before the tour starts) | Cancellation charge |

| More than 30 days before departure | Advance amount (non-refundable) |
| 30 to 15 days before departure | 50% of the total tour cost |
| 14 to 7 days before departure | 75% of the total tour cost |
| 7 days to 1 day before departure | 100% of the total tour cost |
| No show | No refund |
Changes to a booking
Any change to the original booking must be sent to us in writing. Changes are processed only after we receive your written request. If a change results in the cancellation of one or more services, the cancellation charges in the table above apply to those services.
Flights, trains and other third-party services
The cancellation charges above apply to the main tour and to optional tours published by the Company. If you have booked other services through us, such as air or train tickets or any third-party product, cancellation charges are recovered as per the cancellation terms of the airline, railways or third party concerned. The Company also recovers its service charges for booking and cancelling such services.
