🔄 What is the Rebooking Option?
The rebooking option allows you to change your travel dates without fully canceling your tour. Instead of losing your entire payment due to cancellation fees, you can pay a smaller fee to reschedule your trip for a later date ✈️🗓️.

📞 How Do I Request Rebooking?
If you need to change your travel dates, simply request a rebooking instead of canceling your tour. Reach out to us for assistance 📲📅.

💵 What is the Rebooking Fee?

Domestic tours: ₹2,000 per person 🇮🇳.

International tours: ₹5,000 per person 🌍✈️.

📅 How Do I Choose New Dates?
You can select your new travel dates, subject to availability. The new dates should ideally be within 3 months from the original booking date ⏳📅.

⚖️ Will There Be Any Price Adjustments?
If your new dates fall under different pricing (e.g., during peak season), you may need to pay the price difference 💸📈.
If the new dates are cheaper, you might receive a credit to apply toward future bookings 💰📉.

✅ How Will I Receive Confirmation?
Once the rebooking fee is paid and new dates are selected, you'll receive a confirmation for your new travel dates via email 📧📝.

💸 What Are the Benefits of Rebooking?

Cost Savings: Rebooking is significantly cheaper than canceling and rebooking from scratch 💵💡.

Flexibility: It offers flexibility to travelers with unexpected changes in their plans 🛫🌟.

Reduced Stress: Knowing you have the option to rebook can reduce the stress of strict cancellation policies 😊🧘‍♂️.

Example Scenario:
You booked a domestic tour costing ₹20,000 per person but need to change your travel dates. Instead of facing a cancellation fee (e.g., 50% if canceled 20 days before), you opt for rebooking. You pay ₹2,000 per person to rebook your tour for a later date. This way, you save compared to the cancellation fee and still get to enjoy your tour later 💼🗓️.

By offering this option, our policy ensures more flexibility and customer satisfaction, encouraging travelers to reschedule instead of canceling outright ✨🚀.

📅 30 to 21 Days Before Travel

Cancellation Charges: 25% of the tour cost
Calculation: 25% of ₹10,000 = ₹2,500
Refund: ₹10,000 - ₹2,500 = ₹7,500

Example: If you cancel between 20 and 11 days before travel, you will have a cancellation fee of ₹5,000, which means you’ll receive a refund of ₹5,000. 💳

⏳ 10 to 5 Days Before Travel
