Cancellation & Refund Policy
What happens if you cancel or change a trip booked with Detox Hospitality, or if we have to. Last updated 29 October 2026.
1. Policy Overview
This policy is part of our Booking Terms (detoxhospitality.com/booking-terms), which also cover deposits, payment dates and changes to your booking. To cancel, email bookings@detoxhospitality.com or message us on WhatsApp. We use the date we receive your message to work out any charge.
2. If you cancel a holiday, yatra or bike trip
Tell us in writing, by email or WhatsApp. The charge depends on how long before the trip we receive your message:
45 days or more before you travel
10% of the trip price
30 to 44 days before
25%
15 to 29 days before
50%
7 to 14 days before
75%
Less than 7 days before, or a no-show
100%
Some costs can't be refunded once they're paid: flights and train tickets, gondola and helicopter tickets, permits, and hotels that ask for full payment on peak dates (such as Christmas and New Year, Diwali and Durga Puja). If these come to more than the cancellation charge, we charge what they cost instead.
3. If you cancel a trek
30 days or more before the trek
10% of the trek fee, or a full credit for another trek within 12 months
15 to 29 days before
50%, or a full credit for another trek within 12 months
Less than 15 days before, or a no-show
100%
4. If you cancel a ski course
45 days or more before the course
10% of the course price
15 to 44 days before
50%
Less than 15 days before, or a no-show
100%
5. Helicopter tickets for yatras
Helicopter seats for the Amarnath and Vaishno Devi yatras are sold by the shrine boards, in each pilgrim's name, and follow their rules:
- Amarnath: the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board's tickets can't be cancelled or changed. The fare is refunded only if the flight is cancelled for weather, and only if the ticket is stamped as cancelled at the helipad counter.
- Vaishno Devi: the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board refunds 70% of the fare for tickets cancelled online at least 4 days before the flight. Later cancellations aren't refunded.
- We pass on any refund the shrine board makes as soon as we receive it. The rest of your yatra (hotels and transport) follows the holiday cancellation charges above.
6. Weather, closures, and if we change or cancel your trip
If weather, landslides, road closures, curfews or government orders stop your trip before it starts, choose new dates, a full credit valid for 12 months, or a refund minus costs we can't recover. Once a trip has started, we reroute you wherever we can. Extra nights, meals and transport this causes are paid by the guest, and unused services are refunded only if our suppliers refund us.
If we cancel your trip for any other reason, you get a full refund. If we have to make a major change before you travel, you can accept it, choose another trip, or cancel for a full refund.
7. How refunds are paid
- Refunds go back to your original payment method within 10 working days.
- There's no refund for no-shows, services you don't use, or leaving a trip early.
