4. Tour Information, Pricing & Availability
Tour itineraries and descriptions published on the website are intended to provide an overview of the experiences and services offered by Golden Trails India. They may be customized according to traveler preferences, availability, seasonality, and operational requirements.
Accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, activities, restaurants, guides, and other services are subject to availability.
Prices displayed on the website or provided in a quotation are based on the rates and information available at the time of quotation and may change before a booking is confirmed.
Unless specifically stated in the quotation or itinerary, tour prices do not include:
- International or domestic airfare.
- Travel insurance.
- Visa fees and related expenses.
- Personal expenses.
- Laundry, telephone calls, beverages, and gratuities.
- Camera or photography fees where applicable.
- Optional activities or services.

A booking becomes confirmed only after the required payment has been received and written confirmation has been issued by Golden Trails India.
Golden Trails India reserves the right to revise a quoted price before confirmation if there is a significant change in hotel rates, transportation costs, fuel prices, taxes, government charges, monument fees, currency exchange rates, or other costs beyond our reasonable control.
5. Itinerary Changes
Every effort is made to operate a confirmed itinerary as agreed with the traveler. However, circumstances may occasionally require changes to routes, accommodation, transportation, sightseeing arrangements, or schedules.
Such circumstances may include:

- Political or civil disturbances.
- Transportation disruptions.
- Changes in supplier availability.
- Health emergencies.
- Events or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
Where a change is necessary, Golden Trails India will make reasonable efforts to provide a suitable alternative while considering the safety, comfort, and overall experience of the traveler.
Published itineraries should therefore be understood as planned programs rather than guarantees that every individual service or activity will operate exactly as originally described.
6. Booking & Payment Terms

The applicable cancellation policy may vary depending on the services booked and the cancellation conditions imposed by hotels, transportation providers, activity operators, or other suppliers.
By making a booking, the traveler confirms that they have read and accepted the applicable Cancellation & Refund Policy.
8. Travel Documents & Visa Requirements

9. Travel Insurance
Golden Trails India strongly recommends that travelers obtain comprehensive travel insurance before commencing their journey.
Travel insurance should, where appropriate, provide coverage for circumstances such as medical expenses, trip cancellation or interruption, baggage loss or delay, personal liability, and other travel-related risks.
Travelers are responsible for selecting insurance appropriate to their individual circumstances and itinerary.
10. Hotels, Transportation & Other Service Providers
Golden Trails India may arrange services provided by independent third-party suppliers, including hotels, transportation companies, airlines, guides, restaurants, activity providers, and other local service providers.
While we make reasonable efforts to work with reliable service providers, the operation of these services may be subject to the terms, conditions, schedules, standards, and limitations of the respective suppliers.
Where a service is provided directly by a third party, Golden Trails India will not be responsible for circumstances caused solely by that supplier where such circumstances are beyond our reasonable control.
However, Golden Trails India will make reasonable efforts to assist travelers in resolving operational issues that arise during a confirmed journey.

12. Limitation of Liability

Such circumstances may include natural disasters, extreme weather, government restrictions, epidemics or pandemics, political unrest, strikes, transportation disruptions, road closures, or other events that could not reasonably have been anticipated or prevented.
Where such circumstances occur, Golden Trails India will make reasonable efforts to assist travelers and, where possible, identify suitable alternatives.
