If any group member wants to leave the group in between the expedition then he/she has to pay the cost of transportation motorbike from the point of leaving the tour till the Main office drop.
Group members would have to get their own riding gear. Wearing a helmet, carrying a valid ID proof & driving license is mandatory.
All guests will be responsible for the safety and security of their own luggage. We will not be at all responsible for the damaged/missing/lost luggage. So carry a small daypack bag to carry all the expensive things with you.
Compensation for any damage/accident done by you during an expedition to another property/person would be directly payable to you.
The advisable maximum size of baggage should not exceed 60 litres. Remember that you have to carry the luggage to the backup vehicle and into the accommodation
