INFORMATION FOR TRAVELLERS
 

We’d like to give you some information about what to expect when you travel with us on one of our tours, what’s included in the price, passport/visa information, medical arrangements, insurance, payment and cancellation information.  You can download a printer-friendly version copy of this information here in PDF format.

The Darjeeling Tours Difference!

The most important point of difference is that our tours don’t run like standard package tours with the participants isolated from the local population, and carried hither and yon in hermetically sealed transport. Whilst there are times when we use motor coaches and flights, the tours are designed to offer exposure to individual contact and, for example, on some days on our Indian tours participants will be expected to negotiate their own rickshaw or taxi fares. Of course, willing advice will always be available from your tour manager(s), experienced travellers, who will accompany the tour throughout. We’ve set out clearly below exactly what elements are included in the tour price, what is available as an option at extra cost and what is excluded. In particular in India, the cost of living is remarkably low and none of the elements which are excluded are particularly expensive – in most cases the exclusion has been arranged to allow flexibility. For example, you may wish to have dinner in your hotel, or perhaps go out to a local restaurant. In either case, the price should be modest.
