1. Overview

All cancellation requests must be made in writing — via email to cmtc@onlinetourpackage.com or through WhatsApp at +91-92-5831-8577. Cancellation is effective only from the date we receive and acknowledge your written request.

Cancellations made verbally (by phone or in person) are not valid. Please ensure you receive a written acknowledgement from us confirming your cancellation.

2. Standard Cancellation Charges

The following cancellation charges apply to all standard tour packages, calculated from the date of receipt of written cancellation notice to the departure date:

Days Before Departure Cancellation Charge Amount Refundable
30 days or more 10% of total package cost 90% refunded
22–29 days 20% of total package cost 80% refunded
15–21 days 30% of total package cost 70% refunded
8–14 days 50% of total package cost 50% refunded
4–7 days 75% of total package cost 25% refunded
0–3 days / No Show 100% of total package cost No refund

Charges are calculated on the total package cost inclusive of all taxes and surcharges.

3. Peak Season Cancellations

During peak travel seasons — October to January and May to June — stricter cancellation terms apply due to high demand and pre-committed accommodation and transport bookings:

Days Before Departure Cancellation Charge (Peak) Amount Refundable
45 days or more 15% of total package cost 85% refunded
30–44 days 30% of total package cost 70% refunded
15–29 days 50% of total package cost 50% refunded
0–14 days / No Show 100% of total package cost No refund

4. Special Package Cancellations

4.1 Helicopter Tours (e.g., Auli By Heli)

Helicopter tour packages have a 100% non-refundable advance due to limited seat availability and airline partner policies. Cancellation within 30 days of departure forfeits the entire package amount.

4.2 Char Dham & Pilgrimage Packages

Pilgrimage packages involve advance booking of mule/palanquin services, VIP darshan passes, and limited accommodation. Cancellation charges for these packages follow peak season rates regardless of travel month.

4.3 Customised / Tailored Packages

For customised itineraries built specifically for you, any advance paid towards research, documentation, and third-party bookings is non-refundable regardless of the cancellation timeline.

We will notify you at least 7 days in advance wherever possible. The Company is not liable for any consequential losses such as airfare or visa fees.

7. No-Show Policy

If you fail to show up at the designated departure point on the scheduled date without prior notice, the booking is treated as a 100% cancellation and no refund will be issued.

Partial no-shows (e.g., one traveler in a group not joining) will be treated as a cancellation for that individual, and charges will apply based on the departure-date timeline.

8. Travel Insurance Recommendation
