Side Dishes in person of specialist Silvana Duarte during the trip as described in the detailed itinerary: during visits, travel by car and plane in India.
Group arrivals and departures are made with full assistance from our local partners. Upon the group's international arrival in Delhi, our local partner maintains contact by telephone with the travel specialist or with Guilherme Samel, director of Chörten, who in this way accompany carefully upon arrival at the hotel. At your hotel, you will meet the specialist for your trip and they will agree on the next steps. For those who prefer or need to arrive or depart on flights different from the majority of the group (which usually travel on the same flights), we organize an assisted transfer with our local partners, also with all the care and online monitoring by Chörten, as an extra service with a value of according to the number of people;
The following extra activities described and foreseen in the travel program: dancing and meeting Sheron in Delhi, are already included. It is always possible and very meritorious to make some more spontaneous contribution to these teachers, if you wish;
Visits as mentioned in the travel program with the tickets included. If by chance there is any special opportunity for an extra activity consistent with the theme of the trip, the travel specialist may suggest changing the order of visits, such as, more rarely, exchanging a visit for this activity;
local guides will follow in two visits (Old Delhi and Konarak Temple) the group to these specific monuments so we understand that it is more pleasant for us to visit, without guides (explained in detail in the briefing as before being interested) in the greater part of the trip that the specialist knows very well;
land transport in the group's own vehicles with extra care as the number of seats used, no need to use seats when they are not reclining and luggage space a little larger than what is often offered in these countries;
Hosting in double rooms in the hotels mentioned on the accommodation page. In general, check-ins are at 14 pm and check-outs are at 12 pm. If you require an earlier check-in on your arrival in Delhi or a later check-out on your departure from Delhi, please let us know so that we can check the rates and make the reservations as you wish.
Food: breakfasts are included in hotel rates for the entire trip.
*Group values and sizes: if by chance you do not form a group of 6 people, we will make the trip with 5 people possible with the same value as the value of the trip with 6 people. If the group has 10 people, the value for the land part of the main program will be US$ 2835 and for the extension US$ 911 per Traveler;
**Single room supplement in case of your preference or need if you are not a partner for accommodation in a double room;
Does not include:
Meals and drinks except breakfast. On average we can consider that with US$ 35 a day we eat very well in these countries, depending on what, where and how much we eat. In big cities like Delhi, the amount may be slightly higher and in small cities much lower;
Transport where not mentioned in the program (short and medium taxis usually cost between $2 and 7);
International transfers if you prefer or need to arrive or depart on different flights than most of the group (which usually travel on the same flights). We will organize an assisted transfer with our local partners, also with all the care and online monitoring by Chörten, as an extra service with a value according to the number of people;
Tipping (very important in these cultures): around US$ 8 to 12 per day explained better in the trip briefing;
Voluntary contributions to monasteries, temples, and Dharma teachers that we may encounter while traveling;
Visa for India (paid in Brazil: electronic approx. US$25 or printed approx. R$520 more here);
Travel insurance: very important and therefore highly recommended;
Entrance fees to the monuments for camera and/or camcorder when available (usually between US$ 1 and 5 only in cases where it is charged);
Program changes in case of political unforeseen, flight cancellation, political conflicts, epidemic, climatic and geographic unforeseen, new fees and taxes, etc, as well as by governments and/or local service providers in Brazil / India;
*** Domestic airlines
Class economical. Please let us know in advance (at the time of registration) if you would like to take a look at the possibility of business class on domestic flights.;
Maximum weight Allowed checked bag on flights within India: 15kg. Between India/Nepal/Bhutan/Tibet: around 20kg. Excess weight may be charged by the airline at check-in: around US$ 5 to 8 per extra kg (except some specific routes that airlines started to charge more / we will check carefully); More information: here
Values subject to change no prior notice from airlines;
**** International Air
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;
issue: 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 Travelers: 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 cancellation policies of the Land Party and Domestic Air will take effect from the moment of payment of the down payment, when we confirm the accommodation reservations, we issue air and train tickets according to the necessary advance 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 have their 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 fees increase gradually, varying from service provider to service provider. Still, we will definitely do our best and talk to each service provider to see what we can get for a refund even after this date. With regard to airline tickets, each airline and fare has its own cancellation policy.The cancellation policy of Apoios Chörten is linked to the beginning of the services provided: Setting up the Travel Program, Traveler Preparations, Logistics and Organization of the Trip and Accompaniment During the trip. For example, we will not charge for In-Trip Accompaniment 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 (only adjustments if any) and so there will be no refund.
Payment
With the Hybrid Travel Logistics and Organization format as we are doing in Padmaa Travel, explained in our meetings, the payment method will be as follows:
Os valores serão divididos em parcelas de mesmo valor do momento da inscrição, com o sinal e então mensalmente nos dias 31 de cada mês até o início da viagem em Delhi, em 31 Dez. Os ajustes serão feitos conforme a formação do grupo, pois o número de pessoas muda o valor da viagem.
