1. Booking Amount
The initial booking amount is strictly non-refundable under any circumstances. This amount may, however, be used as a credit note in select cases, at the sole discretion of The Travel Story.
2. Cancellation by the Traveler
If a participant chooses to cancel their trip, the following cancellation charges will apply on the total trip cost (excluding the non-refundable booking amount):
• 30 days or more before the trip start date: 50% of the trip cost will be charged.
• 15 to 30 days before the trip start date: 75% of the trip cost will be charged.
• 0 to 15 days before the trip start date: 100% of the trip cost will be charged (no refund).
Note: The cancellation request must be sent to us via official email only. Phone/WhatsApp cancellations will not be considered valid.
3. No-show Policy
If a participant does not show up on the trip start date, no refund or credit note shall be issued.
4. Cancellation/Changes by The Travel Story
In rare cases, The Travel Story may be forced to cancel or modify a trip due to unforeseen circumstances (natural calamities, landslides, floods, roadblocks, political unrest, safety concerns, etc.). In such cases, the company will provide either:
• An alternate trip of the same value, OR
• A credit note of the paid amount, redeemable for any future trip within 12 months.
No cash refund shall be made in such force majeure situations.
Please note: we do not offer refunds once an order has been placed. All sales are final. We encourage you to review your order carefully before confirming your purchase.
