AUTHORITY ON TOUR
The decision of the company or its representative will be final on all matters, at all times, regarding the safety, well being and satisfaction of the tour. The client must at all times strictly comply with the laws, customs, foreign exchange and drug regulations as applicable in India.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
The Client must be in possession of a valid passport, visa (necessary for all Foreign visitors in India), permits and certificates, including vaccinations certificates, insurance policies required for the journey. The client accepts responsibility of obtaining these. Any information or advice given by the company on visas, vaccinations, clothing, special equipment, baggage, climate, etc. is given in good faith but the decision and responsibility regarding the same rests with the traveler.
CONDITION RESTRAINTS
You may have selected a tour that involves traveling in remote areas. This adds to the adventure and opportunity to enjoy a true nature experience. However, due to the nature of the terrain, weather, road conditions and other elements beyond our control, some elements of tours may have to be altered. Times of some activities may need to be changed or even cancelled due to the prevailing conditions. If an activity is cancelled it will be replaced with an alternative activity that is more suited for the conditions. Advance notice will be given for any changes where possible, although at times changes may be made whilst the tour is in progress.
WILDLIFE SIGHTINGS
With any trip involving wildlife it is impossible to guarantee a sighting, but each trip is designed around known habitats and on basis of our experience. Wild World India will make every effort to ensure maximum wildlife sightings, but guarantee if no sightings occur due to the wildlife itself, weather or any other elements beyond our control.
LOCAL CULTURE
Many of the areas to be visited are remote and cultures of the people would differ from what you are accustomed to. These communities welcome visitors under the conditions that their customs, habits and rituals are respected at all times. Wild World India will provide appropriate guidance to visitors as to the appropriate code of conduct whilst visiting these communities. The company reserves the right to cancel a visitor's tour, at any time, should their behaviour be inappropriate and offensive to the local communities.
ACCEPTANCE OF RISK & RESPONSIBILITY
Nature and adventure travel is by character an activity that requires traveling in areas that are often remote and the terrain difficult. While every precaution is taken to ensure the comfort and safety of our clients, these trips do have elements of risk.

You accept that Wild World India, its staff and sub-contractors cannot be held liable for any accident, illness or similar occurrence.
