Are the adventure activities suitable for children and seniors?

While activities like river rafting have age and health restrictions, we offer family-friendly alternatives like gentle kayaking, nature walks, bird watching, and coracle rides. Many resorts have special programs for children and seniors. Our team will help design an itinerary that's safe and enjoyable for everyone in your group.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

Our cancellation policy varies by resort and package but is generally flexible. Most bookings can be cancelled up to 7 days before arrival for a full refund (minus processing fees). Within 7 days, partial refunds or travel credits are usually offered. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance, which we can help arrange. During monsoon season or for special event dates, different policies may apply, which we'll clearly communicate at booking.

Yes, we offer complete transportation solutions including airport/station pickups, private car transfers, and local transport for sightseeing.
