The tour will be booked successfully after making an advance payment of 20% of the tour amount. This is required to make preliminary logistic arrangements for the tour and blocking certain services.

Balance, 80% of the tour amount to be paid 60 days before the tour start date to fully confirm the tour. After, receiving this payment, we will make final pay-outs to all stakeholders for the tour.

India Bicycle Trips reserves the right to make last-mile changes to the group departures, tour price, itinerary, hotel, meal plan, transport or any other inclusions etc based on the specific circumstances. However, we will intimate you regarding the changes and guarantee that the change will not affect the smooth running of the whole tour.

Travel Insurance & Coverage

We recommend our guests to have travel insurance for a stress-free trip. It can help you deal with eventualities such as medical expenses abroad, flight-related complications, loss of baggage, cash assistance, personal liability, accident, evacuation during calamities etc. or anything which is not covered in the tour plan.

How To Pay & Book

We will quote the tour price in USD, GBP, Euro or INR. You can book the money transfer so that the equivalent amount quoted gets credited to our bank account.

Kindly remember to add the transaction charges levied by your bank or the intermediate bank while making the payment so that it doesn’t get deducted from the tour price at our end. Normally this happens in most cases as the travellers are not aware of the additional charges.

You can pay via direct bank transfer or make payments via online platforms like Paypal, Transferwise etc to our official bank account shared by our travel assistant.

You can also pay using a debit or credit card through a secured link send from our official bank application to your email address. However, there will be 4% additional credit card charges.

We will mail you the relevant proforma invoice for the advance as well as final payment and confirm receipt of the payment once we receive the amount to our bank account. The proforma invoice along with the payment confirmation email is to be considered as proof of booking/confirmation.

We don’t recommend cash transactions; however, we can resort to it if unavoidable or last minute.

We are happy to refund the tour price paid if you are not able to travel as planned as per the details below:

Full refund if the tour is cancelled before 90 Days of the tour start date. However, we will deduct a one-time refund charge. This is to cover the administrative and money transfer service charges.
