Accompaniment in-person experts Gyaneshree and Sagar During the trip, as described in the detailed itinerary: during visits, car, train and plane trips in India.

Arrivals and Departures are carried out with full assistance from our local partners. Upon international arrival in Delhi, our local partner maintains telephone contact with the travel specialist or with Guilherme Samel, director of Chörten, who in this way accompany With utmost care, you will arrive at your hotel. At your hotel, you will meet with your travel specialists and they will discuss the next steps. For those who prefer or need to arrive or depart on flights different from the majority of the group (who usually travel on the same flights), we organize an assisted transfer with our local partners, also with the utmost care and online support from Chörten, as a extra service with value according to the number of people;

Visits as mentioned in the travel program with the tickets includedIf there happens to be a special opportunity for an extra activity consistent with the theme of the trip, the trip specialists may suggest altering the order of the visits, such as, more rarely, replacing one visit with this activity;

Local guides will accompany the group in visits Regarding monuments and other excursions in general, we will choose days when the experts believe they will enhance the group's experience. In other words, we will visit certain regions that the tour experts know well and where it is more enjoyable to visit without guides (explained in detail in the briefing if you are interested), or as specified in the tour program.

Land transport in the group's own vehicles with extra care such as the number of seats used, no need to use seats when they do not recline, and slightly larger luggage space than is often offered in these countries. The driver and vehicle's day is usually 8 hours. Except on days when the program naturally starts earlier and/or ends later, such as days with sunrise and sunset;

In big cities, like Delhi, the amount can be a little higher and in small cities much lower. It is usually less, as we have already discussed or will explain in the briefing;

If you prefer to keep the driver and vehicle until later, we can confirm the price. However, it is usually a little higher than Uber, for example;

Values subject to changePrices are confirmed at the time of ticket purchase and are subject to change until that time without prior notice from the airlines.

International Air Travel

In advance: in general, the sooner we issue our tickets, the better fares and routes we find. Promotional rates are unpredictable, tend to run out very quickly and have extremely high fees for any kind of changes in the future. These, when made available, are very worthwhile if we have very certain round-trip dates, that is, the main programs and extensions that we will make;

Purchasing it: it is always prudent to wait for confirmation from the group before issuing the international air. We confirm our groups with a very small number of people;

Form of payment: the international air fare is normally paid in 5 interest-free installments by airlines on Visa and Mastercard cards;

Service Providers, Infrastructure and Local Cultures

We have a lot of experience operating travel in these regions of the world. We work with very good local partners within the possibilities of these countries. Even so, it is important to bear in mind that the quality of services and local infrastructure (hotels, transportation, food, etc.) are not the same as in Brazil, Europe and North America. Most of the time, they will surprise us very positively, for example, for their human qualities and, sometimes, even for the technical aspect of the service. But unforeseen and problems must happen. It is our job, responsibility and even pleasure, at Chörten and our partners, to foresee them and, when necessary, take care of getting around them in the best possible way. So that, in this way, the most important responsibility falls to Travellers: to enjoy the trip in the most peaceful, pleasant and profitable way possible. As part of this responsibility, we understand that we are traveling in these incredible countries and cultures, very different from ours in many aspects and that teach us so much. The better we understand these cultures, the better quality and tranquility we will enjoy our trip.

With the preparations for the trip well taken care of, with all our assistance and support, from boarding the flight here in Brazil until your return, you will see that your trip will be very smooth, well cared for, very well enjoyed, fun, with significant lessons that we will bring from come back and they will be of great value to us in our lives.

Cancellation Policies

The Ground Part and Domestic Air cancellation policies come into effect from the moment the deposit is paid, when we confirm accommodation reservations, we issue air and train tickets according to the necessary advance notice of each trip. These vary from service provider to service provider that we use on our trip (hotels, airlines, etc.). In general, cancellations up to 90 days before the start of the trip will have payments refunded almost in full, with small cancellation fees from local airlines, train tickets, hotels, local operators and banks. From 60 days before the start of the trip, cancellation rates increase gradually, varying from service provider to service provider. Still, we will certainly do our best and talk to each service provider to see what reimbursement we can get even after this date. Regarding air tickets, each airline and fare has its own cancellation policy.

The Chörten Support cancellation policy is linked to the start of the services provided: Setting up the Travel Program, Traveller Preparations, Logistics and Travel Organization and Monitoring During the Trip. For example, we will not charge for Travel Support if we do not accompany (online or in person) the trip. If the other services are already being provided, they can be used at another time without new charges (just adjustments if any) and thus there will be no refund.

Payment

The values will be divided into equal monthly installments at the time of registration, with the down payment, and then monthly on the 30th of each month until November. The last installment or the last two installments are to be paid in cash (new US$100 bills) during the trip to India.. Adjustments will be made as domestic airfare prices are confirmed so that we can pass on the exact ticket prices to you, the Travellers.
