FAQ
FAQ:

- I’m coming alone. Will I have to share my hotel room with another person?
- Ans: You have an option either ways. If you do not want to share you need to mention upfront in the email and it will cost €40 extra. Sharing a room with an unknown even though within the tour group is at your own risk
- I’m alone. I don’t mind a same gender roommate, but not otherwise.
- Ans: Pls mention this in your email and we will make sure you are either alone or with same gender roommate. You need not pay the extra €40.
- Can I bring a stroller for my baby?
- Ans: Yes. Please consider a small buggy because the bigger ones are difficult to manage during a tour.
- We are a group of 3 friends. Is it possible that we share the same room with an extra bed in the room?
- Ans: This is subject to availability. Mention this in your email to booking@skandatravels.com so that arrangements can be made. Please note that the extra bed may not be comfortable for an adult and so this arrangement is not recommended by Skanda Travels.
- What are the departure points?
- Ans: will be shared in pictures before the trip – usually near the station
- Is this only Indian group?
- Ans: While formally there is no restriction, our groups are usually all Indian. Previous trips have almost always had only Indians in the full bus – a mix group of singles, couples, families and elder parents!!
- Can I bring along a non-Indian?
- Ans: You may, but please do set their expectation that the crowd is primarily Indian – the languages, movies, chit chatting could all be in a different language than they can understand!
