What Happens to My Booking if a Kailash Departure Is Postponed or a Permit Is Delayed?
Shivalaya Holidays Pvt. Ltd.
If a permit is delayed or a departure moves, the result depends on the booking terms, amounts already committed and the reason for the change. Ask for a written update identifying whether your group is waiting, being offered a transfer or being cancelled. A postponed date does not automatically determine a refund amount.
Separate the costs
Ask Shivalaya to itemise payments received, recoverable balances, supplier charges and any credit offered toward another batch. Independently booked flights, rail tickets, insurance and extra nights have their own conditions. Retain your dated quote, payment receipts, change notice and any airline or insurer response.
Check the aerial rule separately
The Lucknow aerial programme has a minimum group of 25 and its own confirmation window. A postponement because the group is too small is different from a Tibet permit delay on the full yatra. Ask for the new proposed date, written terms if you cannot travel then and when the next decision is due.
