Frequently Asked Questions



Do you provide airport/railway station pick-up and drop-off services?

Yes, we provide **convenient pick-up and drop-off services** from major airports (like Dehradun - Jolly Grant Airport) and railway stations (like Haridwar, Rishikesh, Kathgodam), ensuring a hassle-free start and end to your journey.

What payment methods do you accept for booking tours?

We accept various secure payment methods including online bank transfers (NEFT/RTGS), UPI, and major credit/debit cards through our secure payment gateway. Our team will provide all necessary payment instructions during booking.

What clothing should I carry for the Char Dham Yatra in different seasons?

For **May-June**, carry light to moderate warm clothing, a light jacket, and rain gear. For **September-October**, carry heavy woolens, thermal wear, and a good quality warm jacket as temperatures can drop significantly. Always pack comfortable walking shoes and rain protection.

Is it safe to travel to Uttarakhand in July (Monsoon Season)?

While Uttarakhand is beautiful in July, it is the peak monsoon season. This means there is a higher risk of heavy rainfall, landslides, and road closures. We generally recommend avoiding non-essential travel to hilly regions during this period for safety. However, if you must travel, we advise checking real-time weather and road conditions and opting for safer, lower-altitude destinations.

What if I need to change my travel dates after booking?

Date changes are subject to availability and the cancellation/amendment policies of hotels, airlines, and other service providers. We will do our best to accommodate your request, but additional charges may apply. Please notify us as soon as possible.
