Booking and Cancellation Policy
Planned with care, handled with integrity, our booking and cancellation policy reflects our deep commitment to responsible travel
At Ekathra Experiences, every journey is carefully curated in collaboration with local communities, artisans, and service providers. We understand that travel plans may change, and we’re committed to supporting our guests with fairness and clarity.
However, as many of our experiences involve advance payments to local hosts, accommodations, and logistical partners, our cancellation fee helps cover these non-refundable commitments. This ensures that those who depend on tourism for their livelihood are treated with dignity and fairness, even when plans shift.
We thank you for your understanding and support in co-creating a more mindful and sustainable travel experience.
