F O R V E H I C L E

The above quotes are based on Non Ac Tata Sumo's / Mahindra Maxx / Wagon R / Indica. You must be aware that when a guest is traveling in a Non Ac Tata Sumo's / Mahindra Maxx / Wagon R / Indica the vehicle changes every day/Sector wise & will be on contract as per the itinerary. This vehicle is not on disposal. These vehicles cannot drop the guest, to the hotel (Government rule) and will have to leave the guest, at the Taxi Stand. From the Taxi stand, the guest are shifted into local Taxi (Maruti Van / Wagon R maximum 4 pax in a vehicle) and then transferred to their respective hotels. Again the day they are going to Lachung, Lachen or Tshangu Lake and Nathula, they have to be transfer, by local Taxi, to a different stand and then get shifted into their vehicle which is a NAC Tata Sumo / Mahindra Maxx. The same exercise is vice-versa, on their return from Lachung, Lachen or Tshangu Lake and Nathula. This Taxi fare is already included into the packages price quoted. Guest may have to wait for the taxi transfer Due to vehicle-parking difficulty, most of the areas are restricted to entry of vehicle & specific time is

allotted for entries. Kindly follow the time strictly as given to you. In case of delays the vehicle will have to leave the hotel area without you & get parked in a parking area. In such a case, you will have to be transferred in a Maruti Van FOR WHICH THE COST WILL HAVE TO BE BORNE BY YOU & WILL HAVE TO BE COLLECTED DIRECTLY FROM GUEST.

Due to specified time, your transfer vehicle for your next connecting destination may not be allowed to enter the hotel area. Under such circumstances you will be transferred from stand to the hotel or vice versa, in a local taxi ( Maruti Vans) for which the driver of your connecting vehicle will make the payment. Depending upon the situation the FHE may request you to make the payment which will be reimbursedto you immediately at the next station.

A B O U T H OT E L

• Check-in 14:00 hrs. / Check-out time is 12:00 hrs. • The tourism infrastructure in Sikkim & Darjeeling is not very developed and one should not expect or

compare it with the standards of plains & other developed destinations there is always scarcity of water and power in the region and so you would come across situation like water (hot) being supplied on time basis – morning & evening.

• Room Heater available with an extra cost Bourne by the guest directly (Except at Premium+, Premium & Luxury categories)

• Category of Rooms in the packages normally remains to base category of rooms. • A valid photo ID proof for all guests staying at the hotel is mandatory. • For Extra adult in the room we will provide an extra bed (wherever possible), but most of the hotels

only provide extra mattress or roll away bed. Most of the hotels have no provision of an extra bed. • Operator reserves the right to re-arrange itinerary to suit hotel availability without changing thetotal

number of days in each destination and without compromising with any services. • In the area almost all the hotels do not have a lift facility and in all the hotels the guest will have to

climb stairs. In case if any guest is having problem of blood pressure, knee or other ailment for which they cannot climb the higher floors they will have to intimate us during the time of booking so that we can try to arrange rooms at the lowest possible floor of the hotel enabling the guest to climb the minimum number of stairs.

NORTH SIKKIM (LACHUNG)

photo ID proof with photo copy (identity card – Voter ID card / Pass-port / Driving License /) for processing the permit. PAN Card / Aadhar Card are not acceptable for issuance of the Permit.

• In Lachung most of the hotels are offering Vegetarian food • Packages are available with all meals at hotel only (on the way meals if any, Guest has to pay their

own). • Hotels available are only with basic amenities & simple food cooked by the locals and not by hotel Chef. • In maximum hotels there is no geyser in the bathroom – hot water is supplied by buckets by the

hotelier. • No room heating systems are provided in the room in maximum hotels due to shortage of power,

instead the hotelier provides hot water bags. • There are telephone lines but due to cable fault and weak signal, it is often out of order. Airtel,

Vodafone & BSNL operates better in this area. • Due to shortage of power the guest sometimes, may have to bear with candle light. • Once the package is booked & confirmed no refund will be entertained. • The best season for traveling to North Sikkim is Mid February to Mid-June & Mid-September to Mid-
