Terms and Conditions
BAGGAGE:
Client travelling by air will be subject to the airline restrictions / limitations on baggage weight / size / number from time to time. Traditionally, each airline allows their customers to bring one carry-on bag and one personal item, such as a pocket book, backpack or laptop bag. The dimensions of which should not exceed 115 linear cms and weight should not exceed 7 kgs.
Currently, the airline restriction is 20 kgs for economy class on flights to all destinations
except U.S. and Canada where a person may carry 2 pieces of checked in baggage and one hand bag. Furthermore, baggage is not included for internal flights in USA.
One needs to pay for every piece of baggage checked in. The charges vary from US $ 25 to US $ 35 per bag. Please check with your sales staff for correct details.
We are not liable, in any manner, if you are unable to carry any baggage or if you have to pay any extra-charges due to restrictions imposed by the airline. You shall be liable to pay all such charges directly to the airline. Also, we are not liable for any loss or
damage to baggage while it is in the custody of the airline.
The table below gives a general overview of the general baggage allowance for a full service airline. Baggage allowance is based on a Weight or Piece (number of bags) concept. Please note that every airline has a different set of rules and regulations regarding the weight restrictions and furthermore, airlines keep changing the rules
quite frequently. Hence, you are requested to please check the updated baggage rules of the individual airlines, with whom the ticket is booked. As porter age is not included in the tour price and due to limited space for luggage in the coach, we recommend that you carry one single suitcase per person of a size of 158 cms. (width + length + height) preferably with wheels for sake of convenience. All baggage and personal effects are at all times and in all circumstances the
responsibility of the Client. Please be careful to ensure that cameras, binoculars, musical instruments, mobile phones, credit cards, ornaments, traveler’s cheques, currency notes, travel documents should never be left unattended in the hotel , restaurant, aircraft, coach or any other mode of transportation, at the place of amusement/sightseeing and/or at the railway station. Similarly, the aforesaid items should not be kept in the checked-in baggage. If you misplace or lose any moveable property we will not be in any way responsible and/or liable. We may not be in a position to assist and/or lodge a complaint with the authorities.
SAFE DEPOSIT LOCKERS:
It is advisable that the tour participants carry their valuables on their person at all times.
If Safe Deposit Lockers are available, the tour participants should avail the facility at their own risk and liability. This facility may be additionally charged by the hotel, which will have to be directly paid by the client to the hotel. If the Safe Deposit facility is not available, the tour participants must take all necessary precautions in protecting
their valuables as the Company/service providers /company’s representatives shall not be liable for any loss of valuables or for making good such loss.
TIPPING:
Tipping is customary (unless otherwise stated in the voucher) in all parts of the world for services rendered (e.g. porters, coach drivers, guides etc). Your Sales advisor will guide you in this regard.

Unlike an airline, we cannot process for a special meal, diet meal etc. nor can we guarantee a special diet for customers if applicable. In
the event that the Client wakes up late and misses breakfast and in the event that the Client is out on his own and reaches late and misses meals, then no claim can be made by him for the meal which he has missed and not utilized.
CURRENCY AND TRAVELLERS CHEQUES:
We suggest you take your holiday spending money partly in currency, partly in travelers cheques or Travel Currency Card. Travellers cheques are a safe way to carry money as they are easily encashed for a small service fee and can be replaced if they are stolen or lost, provided you have the lost travellers cheque numbers and the
counterfoil subject to American Express being satisfied with the genuineness of the claim. Alternatively, you can take a Travel Currency Card, which is by far the safest way to carry money and make payments.

Requests for double rooms will be subject to availability and in cases when a double is not available, we will provide you with a twin room. We recommend a maximum of only three persons in one room.

In case the Client decides to make any change in the rooming while on the tour then they shall be bound to pay additional amount charged to them by the concerned Hotel directly to the Hotel.
SCOPE OF ACTIVITY:
We are travel and holiday organisers only. We do not control or operate any airline, neither do we own or control any shipping company, coach or coach company, hotel, transport, restaurant, railways, cruise or any other facility or service mentioned in this
Itinerary. Though we take care in selecting all the ingredients in your holiday, we can only select and inspect them. As we have no control in running them, we cannot be responsible for any deficiency in service, delays, improper services provided by any agency, airline, transport, hotel, cruise or any provider of services, for any injury, death,
loss or damage which is caused by the act or default of the management or employees of any hotel, airlines, shipping companies, cruise, coach owners / coach operators / tour operators who are the Company’s independent contractors.
We are also not responsible for the delay or deficiency in services provided by agency, airline, transport, hotel, cruise or any provider of services, and / or any act or actions of co-travellers, co-passengers which may result in injury, damage to the life / limb or property of the Client or interfere with enjoying or availing the following and / or the
other services to be provided on the tour.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS AND CLEARANCES:
It shall be solely the Clients’ responsibility to hold valid and genuine travel documents and statutory clearances, to be able to travel on the Holiday, such as passports, visas, confirmed air-tickets, insurance and medical insurance certificates and other statutory certificates including immigration clearance etc. In any case, your Passport must be valid for at least six months subsequent to the scheduled date of return of the Holiday.
Please note that guest travelling to Malaysia should have a valid passport for at least nine months subsequent to the scheduled date of return of the holiday.
It is the responsibility of the Clients to furnish all documents required by the Company for application of visa etc. We are mere facilitators for providing visa guidance services.
In the event the application for the visa made by any Client or the Company on behalf of the Client is rejected by the concerned Embassy or Authorities due to inadequate documents furnished by the applicant or due to any other reason whatsoever, the
Company shall not be liable or responsible for the same. The visa fee includes the actual visa charge, cost of processing fees, professional charges, and overheads. All cost, charges in respect of the said application for the visa shall be borne by the Client and the non-refundable deposit paid by the client shall be forfeited and no claim
whatsoever shall be made for the same. UK and USA visa will have to be obtained by the Client directly, however the Company can only assist in preparing and submitting the visa application based on documents provided by clients. Certain consulates /embassies may call the clients for personal interviews and / or biometrics, As granting or rejecting visas and immigration clearance is the sole prerogative of the concerned sovereign governments and the Company is only a facilitator, the Operator shall neither be responsible in case of non-granting of such documents nor liable for any delay, denial or other related act / omission or for any loss, expense, damage or cost resulting there from. The position in respect of cancellation of the tour by the Client due to non-availability of travel documents would not change only by virtue of the Client having applied for such documents through the Operator. Even if the visas are
rejected, the stipulated fees of the Operator shall be payable by the Client. There will be no refund, if the Client, or any member of his party, is unable to travel due to the said
reasons. In fact, many a time, due to such cancellations, the company suffers losses because, sometimes, the cancellation is done at a time of holiday rush like Olympics etc. and the third party suppliers such as hotels, airlines and cruises levy 100% cancellation charges. In such cases, cancellation charges as applicable by the company will apply and the decision of the company will be final and binding upon
you. Under the circumstances, you agree not to proceed legally against us unless there is a manifest error from our end.
The Company would not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for any clerical error done by the concerned Embassy / Consulate regarding name, attachment of wrong photograph, duration and type of visa (single / multiple entry) or passport number. We always use services of reputed courier companies for the purpose of
transmission of passports to the Embassies / Consulates and to our clients in various cities. We would not be responsible for any loss or damage whether direct, incidental or consequential caused due to transmission delays or loss of passport. The documents forwarded by you for visa purpose are sent by us to the concerned Embassy / Consulate by third parties and hence we would not be liable for loss of your documents. We would however, make best attempts to trace your documents or assist you in obtaining alternative / certified copies of the lost documents.
In the event that a client is unable to travel on the Holiday date originally booked by him / her, due to rejection of visas by the concerned Embassy, the said client shall have the option to postpone his / her holiday to any other future date or choose any other holiday destination subject to cancellation charges of the previous holiday.
However, if the client books and pays within the cancellation period and is unable to travel due to any reason whatsoever including non-availability of visas or any travel documents, the cancellation policy will apply.
