OUR TOURS
We strive to offer tours where we love to travel ourselves.
Most of our tours aim at maximizing your time in the wilderness
with walking, jeep and elephant safari options. However,
we have also included some alternatives wherever possible.
This is to offer something to the not so keen wildlifers
and people with varied interests. We are constantly reshaping
our tours and products and new hotspots are being constantly
explored to offer you a palate of diverse options. We also
make tailor-made itineraries to suit your time and interest.
We have 'favourable rates' from the lodges and camps all
over India making our tours the most affordable ones anywhere
to India. We have a No Surcharge Guarantee, which ensures
a fixed holiday price.
We have a policy of full refund, including the deposit,
if the holiday cannot be operated because of natural disasters,
civil disorder, war or suchlike.
RESERVATIONS
Reservations for tours require a deposit of $100 per person.
Certain tours such as Andaman and Lakshwadwip Islands and
Bhutan may have higher deposit requirements; participants
will be notified of those deposit amounts when they register.
Reservations with deposits are accepted in order of their
receipt. Telephoned reservations are accepted provided the
appropriate deposit follows them within 14 days.

TRAVEL INSURANCE
You are required to purchase travel insurance from your
country of origin. It gives welcome protection to those
for whom a health-related trip cancellation is a concern.
Travel insurance also usually protects you in the event
of your falling ill while on the tour (i.e., it will get
you back home) and takes care of your hospitalization expenses
in India.
TOUR PRICE
The price for tours includes all travel as mentioned in
the itinerary, lodging in comfortable hotels or their equivalent
unless otherwise indicated, tour materials and the services
of the tour leader(s). Generally meals are included in the
price for wildlife tours unless their non-inclusion is specifically
mentioned in the "Notes" at the end of the tour description.
Meals are not included in city hotels, wherever used, unless
their inclusion is specifically mentioned.
The Single Occupancy Supplement listed for each tour provides
a single room throughout the tour unless otherwise mentioned.
Certain small lodges will not provide single rooms if they
are heavily booked; these are listed in the "Notes" section
of their respective tour itinerary. In such cases, the portion
of the Single Occupancy Supplement applicable to the lodge
or lodges will be refunded.
Unless a single room is specifically requested on your reservation
form, all registrants will be assigned a suitable roommate.
If a roommate is unavailable, a single room will be provided
and the Single Occupancy Supplement assessed.
Baggage handling assistance is provided by our hotels or
by the leader(s) when necessary.
The following items are not included in the tour price:
passport & visa fee, departure taxes, immunizations, excess
baggage charges, optional excursions, telephone calls, bottled
water, alcoholic beverages, laundry, room service, snacks
and / or anything of a purely personal nature. If you have
questions about the inclusion of any cost item, feel free
to contact us.
PRICE INCREASES
We follow a policy of NIL SURCHARGES once we have the contract
signed with you. Our No Surcharge Guarantee applies form
then and if there are any changes thereon we take full responsibility
of that.
(N.B. Please note Surcharge refers to the increase in cost
of originally contracted arrangements, against which our
Guarantee protects you. This, however, should not be mistaken
for Supplements, which may be required due to non-availability
of original arrangements, or for other reasons such as change
in flight schedule necessitating accommodation for extra
nights. In such cases supplementary charges, or refunds,
maybe involved if the cost variation exceeds 2% of the total
holiday price. Nil Surcharge Guarantee also doest not include
any sudden increase in the air or rail tickets and any increases
in the taxes imposed by the Govt. Of India. )
TOUR ALTERATIONS
Changes in the itinerary may occur even though our tours
are carefully planned. If major changes are necessary before
the start of the tour, participants will be informed and
may withdraw without penalty if they so choose. Should a
change of itinerary or mode of operation be forced upon
us while the tour is in progress as, for example, by an
airline strike, delay due to weather or political crisis,
the additional costs, if any, are the responsibility of
the participant(s). Please note that when two leaders are
listed, the second may not accompany the tour if it is insufficiently
subscribed.
TOUR CANCELLATION
We reserve the right to cancel any tour or tour extension
for which there are insufficient reservations 60 days before
the departure date (For Group Departures only). In case
of cancellation, all deposits and other payments for the
tour or tour extension will be refunded. Participants should
note that the cancellation of a tour's pre-tour or post-tour
extension does not alter their rights and obligations with
respect to the core portion of the tour.
TOUR MATERIALS
Past or prospective checklists and general information sheets
will be sent to each registrant on receipt of a deposit.
Final tour information, meeting instructions, participant
list and additional material, if any, will be mailed about
two weeks before tour departure. A final tour report will
be mailed to all participants upon the completion of each
tour. The nature of our tour wildlife viewing involves some
odd hours and at least a modest amount of physical activity,
and we would appreciate the participants' understanding
on the tour's requirement. Birds are most active during
the early hours and often we will have a pre-breakfast walk
or an early breakfast before leaving for more distant points.
All tours require gentle to moderate walking, sometimes
for periods of up to six hours. Bird watching is continuous,
of course, and we rest as and when necessary. At times we
climb hills, walk on uneven or wet terrain or push through
vegetation. On tours with more than one leader we sometimes
have "faster" and "slower" groups. Lunches are often picnics
but sometimes we have a sit-down or "fast food" lunch. In
warm climates we usually rest during the heat of the day,
venturing forth again in mid to late afternoon and returning
to the hotel an hour or so before dinner. A checklist is
compiled most days, usually before or after dinner. Nightlife
more adventurous than an after-dinner drink is seldom possible
as we normally stay in hotels well away from commercial
development.
All activities are optional within the general framework
of the tour. We encourage and assist participants in the
pursuit of personal aims if these do not conflict with the
conduct of the tour. Persons with specific non-wildlife
goals must contact Travel Inn before the tour to determine
if they can be realized.
RESTRICTIONS ON PARTICIPATION
Restrictions on participation are a matter of common sense
and we have no absolute ones. If you have a health problem
or any physical limitation, which may hamper or restrict
your full involvement in any aspect of the tour, or about
which we should be aware for safety reasons (e.g. walking
difficulties, diabetes, asthma, angina, etc.), please advise
us in detail and in writing at the time you reserve space.
We will provide any information that you or your doctor
may need to judge your capacity to participate fully in
the tour. We do not normally program strenuous physical
exercise, but if it cannot be avoided, the fact is made
explicit in the tour description and in the general information
sheets for the tour. Participants should be able to complete
gentle walks of one-half day's duration, ride in any seat
in tour vehicles and meet the simple schedule of the tour.
We reserve the right to send home persons unable or unwilling
to conduct them in a manner compatible with the satisfactory
operation of the tour. Please note that we do not allow
the collecting of any material like plants or animals or
their parts from Protected Areas during the course of any
tour.
