🧳 Luggage Guidelines for Your Trip
All travellers are permitted two items of luggage:
• One checked suitcase with a maximum weight of 15kg
• One piece of hand luggage up to 7kg
• Plus your handbag, which is allowed in addition

✨ Please note: These restrictions apply only until Day 3 of your journey. After that, there are no luggage limitations, so you’ll have plenty of room for shopping treasures and souvenirs!

🚆 On Day 7, you’ll be travelling by train from Udaipur to Jaipur. You’ll need to lift and store your own luggage, so we recommend bringing a medium-sized suitcase that’s easy to manage on and off the train.

🔐 It’s essential that your luggage is lockable for security purposes.
🍾 Important note for flights within India:
Indian airport authorities only allow bottles (including liquids and alcohol) in checked baggage. Bottles in hand luggage may be confiscated at security.

✈️ Domestic Airline Limits:
All Indian domestic airlines now enforce a maximum checked baggage limit of 15kg. Any excess baggage fees will be the responsibility of the passenger. As a guide, Air India charges approximately ₹500 INR per extra kilo (correct at time of writing, but subject to change).

🔖 Security Reminder:
When passing through airport security, ensure all hand luggage items—including your handbag—have a tag and security stamp. If not, you may be asked to return to the scanning area before boarding.

Our rates do not include any kind of travel insurance and each guest must make sure to arrange their own necessary insurance prior to arrival in India. We will do everything possible to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip. However, all travel involves some degree of risk we strongly recommend that you take out appropriate travel insurance for your adventure. 

Your insurance protection should include cover for cancellation, medical, in particular Coronavirus and repatriation expenses, personal injury and accident, death and loss of personal baggage and money and personal liability. Insurance cover offered by credit card companies or reciprocal medical cover agreements are often not comprehensive please check this before travelling. Or contact our preferred Travel Insurance provider CoverMore

Please note: Dietary requirements must be disclosed at the time of booking the tour. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate dietary restrictions that are shared after booking or during the tour.

If you are unable to consume items such as wheat, tomatoes, onions, garlic, dairy, nuts, or other ingredients, it is crucial to inform us upfront. Late disclosures make it impossible for us to make necessary arrangements, and in many countries, meeting complex dietary needs can be particularly challenging. This could affect your well-being and place undue stress on our guides and hosts as they try to meet these needs.

Thank you for your understanding.
