Good to know

•*AC vehicle included. If you need full AC running throughout the trip (hill climbs and halts included), ask us for the full-AC price.

•Offbeat routes (remote valleys, canyons & cave trails) — charges extra.

•Per-day run: up to 120 km on a sightseeing day, up to 150 km on a pure transfer day with no sightseeing, or that day's itinerary. Charged per day, not per km — a longer day attracts an extra charge for that day, and unused km do not carry over.

•Direct same-day drop to Guwahati from Cherrapunji: Sedan +₹1,500 · Ertiga +₹2,500 · Innova +₹3,500 (already included in our Express packages).

•Payment: token of one day's fare to confirm (non-refundable) · Day 1: 50% of the total (minus the token) · balance 50% by 9 AM on the last day.

•Cancellation: the token is non-refundable. Any other amount paid — 24+ hours before pickup: full refund · 1–24 hours: 50% · under 1 hour: no refund.
