First we recommend that you go

tours that we have been selling very
successfully since a very long time. The tours
under ’Travel Themes’ are listed under different
categories like Adventure, India for first
timers, Special Interest etc. and you can buy
them on as it is basis. If however you feel that
these tours need to be fine-tuned to coincide
with your flight schedule, and if you need to
add or reduce a night in any city, then you must
send us your request and our travel experts will
get back to you shortly with necessary changes
and the amended tour cost.
The second option is to choose ’PLAN

the cities you wish to visit. You will also have
to inform us some other factors like duration,
number of people traveling together and choice
of hotels you prefer. As soon as we have these

We insist on a nominal deposit of
usd 100 or a 10% of the total tour cost

the reservations. A lot of times we need to
shell out money to block rooms in small hotels
which do not entertain travel agents, to buy
train tickets, to pay for reserving berth in
trains like Palace on Wheels, Royal Orient etc.
hence we insist on a token amount. The balance
however has to be settled one month prior to
your arrival in India. The money can be paid by
the payment gateway on the site , or through
credit card, through a wire transfer to our bank
account, vide a banker’s cheque or a demand
