By making a booking, submitting a payment, or requesting a payment plan for a Soul India journey, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these Terms & Conditions.
Journey prices are quoted per person unless otherwise stated.
Our package prices are generally based on double occupancy, meaning two guests sharing a room.
Single occupancy may be available for an additional fee.
Prices may vary depending on the journey, travel date, or season.
If a traveler changes their travel date and the new date has a different price, the applicable price for the new date will apply.
Depending on the journey, Soul India may offer:
Pay in Full
$500 Reservation Deposit per person
Monthly Installments — up to 12 months
Online payments are securely processed through Stripe.
The $500 Reservation Deposit is paid per person toward the selected journey.
The $500 reservation deposit is non-refundable once the reservation and travel dates have been confirmed.
If Soul India Journeys cannot confirm the requested travel dates and the traveler does not accept the alternative dates offered, the $500 deposit will be fully refunded.
A second payment of $500 per person is scheduled 45 days before departure, through a secure Stripe payment link.
The remaining balance is paid directly in India to our trusted local partner/operator, as specified in the applicable journey arrangements.
When a traveler selects Pay in Full, the complete journey price is paid securely through Stripe.
Payment alone does not guarantee availability or confirm the requested travel dates.
The reservation is confirmed once Soul India Journeys has verified availability with our local operator in India and communicated confirmation to the traveler.
If the requested dates cannot be confirmed, the refund exception in Section 6 applies.
Travelers may request a personalized payment plan for up to 12 months.
Submitting a Monthly Installments request does not collect a payment at that time.
The request is reviewed by our team, and we contact the traveler to arrange the payment schedule.
Once the schedule is established, secure Stripe payment link(s) will be provided for the scheduled payments.
All required installment payments must be completed sufficiently in advance of the journey so that the necessary arrangements can be confirmed.
Payments made toward a confirmed Soul India Journeys reservation are generally non-refundable in the event of a traveler-initiated cancellation, subject to the applicable Date Change & Cancellation Policy.
Exception — Travel Dates Not Available
All requested travel dates are subject to availability confirmation with our trusted local operator in India.
If a traveler makes a payment before availability is confirmed and Soul India Journeys cannot accommodate the requested dates, we will offer alternative available travel dates.
If the traveler does not accept the proposed alternatives, Soul India Journeys will provide a full refund of all payments made to Soul India Journeys for that reservation.
Refunds will be processed through the original payment method where possible.
This exception applies when Soul India Journeys cannot confirm the requested travel dates. It does not automatically apply to traveler-initiated cancellations after a reservation has been confirmed.
Nothing in these Terms & Conditions limits any refund rights provided by applicable law.
Travelers may request to move their journey to another available travel date.
Soul India will do its best to accommodate the requested change, subject to availability and the arrangements already made for the original travel date.
Changing a travel date does not guarantee that all previously paid amounts can be transferred to the new date.
Before a journey, Soul India and our trusted local operator in India may make advance payments and reservations for accommodations, transportation, activities, and other services required for the journey.
Some of these arrangements may be non-refundable or may not be transferable to another date.
If a payment or commitment made for the original travel date cannot be recovered or transferred, that amount may be lost.
If the arrangement must be paid again for the new travel date, the traveler may be responsible for that additional cost.
If the new travel date has a higher trip price than the original date, the traveler is responsible for paying the difference.
Any additional costs resulting from the change of date will be communicated before the new date is confirmed.
A traveler may request to transfer their journey to another person.
Any transfer is subject to availability and approval by Soul India and/or our trusted local operator in India.
A transfer does not guarantee that all previously paid amounts will be recoverable or transferable.
Travelers are responsible for providing accurate information during the booking process.
Travelers should also ensure that they have the travel documents and requirements necessary for their journey to India.
Soul India works with trusted local partners and operators in India to coordinate the services included in each journey.
The specific inclusions vary by program and are described on the applicable journey page.
We make reasonable efforts to provide the journey as described. However, certain arrangements may occasionally need to change because of availability, transportation schedules, local conditions, weather, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.
When a change is necessary, we will make reasonable efforts to provide an appropriate alternative.
Certain journeys may require travelers to complete and return applicable forms before departure.
These may include:
Medical Disclosure & Participant Health Declaration
Participation Waiver, Assumption of Risk & Release of Liability
Food Allergy Disclosure & Liability Waiver
Travelers are responsible for completing applicable forms accurately and returning them before their journey.
By completing a booking or payment, the traveler confirms that they have reviewed and accepted these Terms & Conditions and the applicable Booking & Payment Options and Date Change & Cancellation Policy.
We believe traveling to India is an experience of discovery, connection, and presence.
We look forward to welcoming you and supporting you throughout your journey.
