Declarations & Policies
- Visit Bihar will select the hotel(s) for the tour. Prior to the departure, Visit Bihar will provide the Client with the hotel information, including the name, location, and telephone number of the hotel. In advance of the tour, the Client will inform Visit Bihar whether he or she prefers a shared room or a single room. The Client shall inform Visit Bihar if the Client has any special needs, including a smoking or non-smoking room. If the Client expresses no preference within a reasonable time before the tour, he/she shall get the run of the house room.
- Visit Bihar is not an Air Ticketing or Rail Ticketing Agency but a Tour Company and shall make Air and Rail Travel arrangements for within India and/or International Travel only upon request from the customer.
- We suggest that guests avoid traveling by public transport unless there is no air connection. The public transport system like the trains and busses are not hygienic and unorganized. Securing reservations in Trains is also a problem these days due to the population. Many times your reservation might be turned down if a VIP is traveling. The time table is also not strictly adhered to and you might just loose 1 day of your itinerary because of the train running late. Reservations can be secured 4 months in advance.
- Hotels in India believe in self rating and this is why not all claims made on their websites are true. Hence we suggest that you go with our choice of hotels as by booking them directly you might be overcharged even after commitment.
- Visit Bihar, in its discretion, may substitute portions of the tour, including, but not limited to, sightseeing, hotels, and restaurants, prior to, and during, the tour. Visit Bihar will fully explain such substitutions to the Client as such substitutions become known to Visit Bihar.
- During local or national holidays, some facilities, such as museums and shops, may close or operate on limited schedules. On such occasions, Visit Bihar may make itinerary adjustments to minimize inconvenience to the Client. Visit Bihar will inform the Client well in advance of the departure date if any such adjustments need to be made.
- Only 15 kgs of check-in luggage and 1 hand bag with not more than 5 kgs is allowed on domestic flights.

Visit Bihar is not responsible for any damage to, or loss of, the Client’s luggage.
- Visit Bihar strongly encourages the Client to carry Travel Insurance for the tour. Visit Bihar warns the Client that insurance carriers require travelers to purchase policies within a limited period of time from payment of the first deposit. The Client will be solely responsible for arranging travel insurance, and Visit Bihar will not be liable for any damages or deficiencies in the Client’s travel insurance coverage.
- The standard check-in & check-out time for hotels in India is 12 noon and in some cases it is 1400 hrs. The client needs to inform Visit Bihar for any early check-in or late check-out time. The early check-in cannot be before 10 am and the last check-out can be 3 pm subject to availability.
- The Client needs to notify Visit Bihar well in advance of any physical challenges or other special needs that may require accommodation or support arrangements on the tour.
