Refund Policy
Effective date: 21
September 2026
We would request you to read this policy carefully before
confirming a booking.
1.
Our position on cancellation
Our packages are built on arrangements that we commit to and
pay for well in advance — hotel allocations, transport, activity bookings and
air tickets. These commitments are made on your behalf as soon as a booking is
confirmed, and they are not recoverable once made.
For this reason, all
bookings are non-cancellable and non-refundable once confirmed, and no
refund is payable, whether the request arises before departure or after the
tour has commenced. This applies regardless of the reason, including:
·
A change of personal plans or circumstances
·
A change of mind
·
Inability or unwillingness to travel
·
Late arrival, missed departure or missed
transport
·
A personal or family emergency, or illness
·
A visa refusal, immigration decision or travel
document issue
·
Choosing not to participate in part of the tour
·
Departing from the tour early
·
Any services included in the Package that are
not used
Partial use of a Package does not give rise to a partial
refund or credit for unused services.
We appreciate that circumstances can change unexpectedly,
and we say this not to be unhelpful but so that the position is entirely clear
to you before you commit. We would
strongly encourage travellers to ensure they hold appropriate travel insurance,
which may provide cover in circumstances where we are unfortunately unable to.
2.
Exceptions at our discretion
While the above is our stated policy, we do look at
genuinely exceptional situations sympathetically. Any exception is entirely at
our discretion and would need to be confirmed by us in writing. Nothing in this
policy affects any right you may have that cannot lawfully be excluded.
3.
Where WanderGO Holidays cancels a departure
3.1. On rare occasions, circumstances beyond our reasonable
control may make it impossible or unsafe to operate a departure as planned.
3.2. Where we cancel a departure for reasons other than your
default, you may choose either:
·
a full
refund of all amounts paid to us; or
·
transfer to an alternative departure date of equivalent value, subject to
availability.
3.3. Refunds in such
cases are processed within 7 to 10 working days from the date we confirm
the cancellation to you in writing.
3.4. Refunds are credited to the original payment method and
the original payment instrument. Once processed by us, the credit may take a
further 5 to 7 working days to appear in your account, depending on your bank
or card issuer.
3.5. Where we cancel, our responsibility is limited to the
refund or transfer set out above. We are regrettably unable to reimburse costs
of arrangements you have made independently, such as air tickets or visa fees
booked outside of us.
3.6. Where a departure is affected by force majeure, we will
make every reasonable effort to recover amounts from our suppliers and will
pass on to you whatever is recovered, after deduction of amounts irrecoverably
incurred.
4.
Requests to amend a confirmed booking
We understand that plans occasionally need adjusting, and we
will always try to help where we can.
4.1. Requests to amend a confirmed booking — such as a
change of traveller name, departure date, or room configuration — are welcome
in writing to contact@wandergo.in,
and we will do our best to accommodate them, subject to availability and to
what our suppliers are able to permit.
4.2. Where an amendment can be arranged, any supplier
charge, penalty, or difference in cost arising from the change would be payable
in addition to the original Package price. We will always set this out clearly
for your approval before proceeding.
4.3. Requests made closer to the Departure Date are
naturally harder to accommodate, as supplier commitments will by then have been
made.
4.4. Where we have
arranged your air tickets, please note that airline tickets once issued are
governed by the fare rules of the airline concerned, and are frequently
non-transferable and non-amendable. Where a change is possible at all, any charge, penalty or fare difference
levied by the airline is payable at actuals. We are glad to approach the
airline on your behalf, though the outcome rests with them.
4.5. A request for an amendment does not in itself
constitute a cancellation, nor does it give rise to a refund.
5.
Taxes on cancelled bookings
Where GST has been paid to the government on a booking, it
is refundable only to the extent permitted under applicable GST law. Where TCS
has been collected against a PAN furnished at the time of booking, it is
reflected in your Form 26AS and may be claimed when filing your income tax
return.
6.
How to contact us
All cancellation and amendment requests should be sent in
writing to contact@wandergo.in from
the email address used at the time of booking. We acknowledge all such
communications within 48 hours.
