If your trip involves internal air tickets, we may have to get the tickets issued within the deadline given by the airlines and we may request you the cost of the ticket along with the tour deposit. After we receive the tour deposit, we process the booking of internal air tickets and hotels and will get back to you with the confirmation within a week. If some internal airfares require immediate purchase, we will ask you to wire the payment.
Some hotels and suppliers may ask for a non-refundable deposit to guarantee the booking and we will request to include this in the second payment.

Balance payment: The balance and final payment are due 90 days prior to departure. If your trip involves internal air or train tickets, we may also request the cost of the tickets with a booking deposit to guarantee the lowest fare. Credit card payment attracts an additional 3.5% fee. We accept the payment from traveler's account only. However, we reserve the right to refuse certain form of payment. Wire transfer fees are to be borne by the traveler.
