Seven questions, answered in full.
The answers the FAQ page gives, word for word. The rest are on the FAQ page, and the refund bands on the refund policy.
Yes. Adi Kailash Explore is recognised by Uttarakhand Tourism, MSME-certified and NIDHI-verified, run from an office at Pitrota, near Thana Kotwali, Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand 262501, with a named founder, Vinay Verma, who signs every confirmation. Every booking carries a booking ID and a proper invoice in the company's name.
Over WhatsApp. Send your dates and where you are travelling from; we come back with a route, one clear price in writing and the day-by-day plan. A seat is held with ₹5,000, with the receipt and batch confirmation the same day.
Adi Kailash & Om Parvat from Haldwani starts at ₹26,300 a person in Standard hotels with a shared vehicle; Homestays cost less, Premium rooms and a private vehicle more, and the price a person drops with every traveller you add, up to 25% off from 6 people. Every package page prints the full price for your party and date before you pay anything.
Payments go through Razorpay by UPI, card or netbanking, straight into the account of Adi Kailash Explore, never to a personal number, and the receipt is generated as you pay. The ₹5,000 a seat advance holds your seat; the balance is settled in writing closer to departure.
The price we write before you pay is the price you pay. Driver allowance, tolls and parking are already inside it, and the refund lines are written down before any money moves.
The border valleys need an Inner Line Permit, applied for online on the district portal and issued by the SDM's office at Dharchula. We file it before you arrive, not on the day. You bring a government photo ID and passport-size photographs, and the portal also lists a medical fitness certificate and a self-declaration affidavit.
Cancellation terms depend on how close to departure you are and on what has already been committed for permits and stays. We set those out in writing before you pay anything, so there is nothing to discover afterwards.
