1. Cancellation by Customer

Customers may request cancellation of their tour booking by contacting Kashmir Tour Guides through email or phone.

Cancellation charges will depend on the date the cancellation request is received and the cancellation policies of the hotels, transportation providers, activity operators, and other suppliers involved in the booking.

2. Cancellation Charges

Unless a different cancellation policy has been specifically provided with your booking, the following general cancellation schedule applies:

  • 30 days or more before arrival: 10% of the total booking amount may be retained as an administrative/processing charge.
  • 15–29 days before arrival: 25% of the total booking amount may be charged.
  • 7–14 days before arrival: 50% of the total booking amount may be charged.
  • Less than 7 days before arrival: 75% of the total booking amount may be charged.
  • Within 48 hours of arrival or no-show: 100% of the booking amount may be non-refundable.

These percentages are general guidelines. The actual cancellation amount may be higher where third-party suppliers impose non-refundable or higher cancellation charges.

3. Non-Refundable Bookings

Certain bookings or services may be non-refundable, including:

  • Special promotional rates
  • Advance-purchase hotel bookings
  • Non-refundable accommodation
  • Transportation arrangements
  • Activity or excursion bookings
  • Permits or tickets
  • Bookings made under specific supplier cancellation conditions

Where a service is non-refundable, this will be communicated to the customer where reasonably possible before confirmation.

4. Cancellation Due to Weather or Road Conditions

Kashmir’s weather and road conditions can occasionally affect travel plans. Snowfall, landslides, heavy rain, road closures, government restrictions, or other circumstances may result in delays, route changes, or cancellation of particular services.

Where a third-party service provider does not issue a refund, Kashmir Tour Guides cannot guarantee a refund for that service.

Where possible, we will assist customers in finding alternative arrangements.

5. Cancellation by Kashmir Tour Guides

In exceptional circumstances, Kashmir Tour Guides may need to cancel or substantially modify a booking because of safety concerns, operational issues, government restrictions, natural disasters, severe weather, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Where we cancel a service, we will make reasonable efforts to offer an alternative arrangement or applicable refund, subject to amounts recoverable from third-party suppliers.

6. Refunds

Approved refunds will normally be processed after applicable cancellation charges and non-refundable supplier costs have been deducted.

The time required for a refund may depend on the payment method and the relevant bank or payment service provider.

Any transaction, payment-processing, or administrative charges that are non-refundable may be deducted from the refund where applicable.

7. Changes Instead of Cancellation

Customers may request to change their travel dates, accommodation, transportation, or itinerary instead of cancelling.

Changes are subject to availability and may result in additional charges imposed by hotels, transport providers, activity operators, or other suppliers.

8. No-Show

If a customer does not arrive for a confirmed booking without prior notice, the booking may be treated as a no-show, and the amount paid may be non-refundable.

9. Early Departure

If a customer chooses to leave the tour or accommodation earlier than the confirmed itinerary, unused services are generally non-refundable unless the relevant supplier agrees otherwise.
