03Operational Conditions & Deductions

Additional Terms

Please review the following specific stipulations governing tour cancellations, non-utilized services, and refund disbursements:

Unused Services

Unused services such as hotel nights, transport, meals and sightseeing are not refundable. Once travel commences or services are scheduled, components that guests choose not to utilize cannot be credited or refunded.

Early Departure

If you leave the trip early, no refund is given for the remaining days. If a traveler decides to curtail or terminate their tour early for personal, scheduling, or medical reasons, unused itinerary portions cannot be refunded.

Refund Timeline

Any refund that applies is processed within 15 to 20 working days after your cancellation. Refunds are routed back through the original payment channel to provide full transparency and auditability.

Banking & Gateway Fees

Bank charges, payment gateway fees (such as PayPal or Wise) and other transaction costs are deducted from the refund amount. Processor charges incurred during initial receipt and refund transfer are subtracted from the gross return.

Net Amount Basis

The refund is calculated on the net amount TripSthan has actually received. Exchange rate differences, intermediary correspondent banking levies, or third-party transfer fees outside of TripSthan’s control are excluded.

Flexible Rescheduling

Changing Your Dates Instead

Kindly inform us as soon as possible if you would prefer to reschedule your travel dates rather than cancel.

We understand that international flights, visa processing, or sudden personal obligations can necessitate adjustments. Because all our India tours and chauffeured car hires are 100% private and custom-planned, we can often modify your travel window with minimal or zero penalty, provided comparable hotels and fleet vehicles are available on your new dates.
