COACH/CAR/SITTING

We use air-conditioned/air-cool luxury coaches/cars. However, sometimes due to extreme weather conditions the same may not seem to be very effective. If you are carrying any high value items on the coach, we advise you not to leave them behind when you leave the coach. We will not be responsible or liable in case of loss of such items from the coach. All baggage and personal effects are at all times and in all circumstances your responsibility. Any damages caused to the
coach during your travel, shall be payable by you and the company will not be liable for the same. The drivers are bound by specific rules, like maximum driving hours within a day and during a week, rest period per day / week etc. Clients will have to strictly adhere to the prescribed timetable for the day so that the driver can complete the travel, otherwise certain sightseeing schedules may be missed due to your actions and the same will be non-refundable.

The driving times mentioned in the itineraries can vary according to the Road, Climate or Unforeseeable circumstances.
