What Clothes do I need to Bring?
Think your most comfortable hot weather clothes. Temps are expected to range between 70-90 degrees F. The rainy season is over; but we may have a few sprinkles. Pack light – mostly Short sleeves, light long sleeve top, shawl, long pants, sneakers, yoga clothes, sunglasses, sunscreen, comfortable hat, shorts, sandals, lots of socks, personal hygiene items. Pack for a week – you will have opportunities to wash your clothes. Do not bring a hair dryer, makeup mirror, high heels, dressy outfit, or over coat!
What are the medical and vaccination requirements?
Of course you should consult with your doctor or medical professional. But we recommend that you get a hepatitis A and a typhoid vaccination before your journey. According to the CDC, there is no risk of yellow fever in India.
How much money should I bring?
Once you arrive in India, all of your air and ground travel, your overnight hotel stays – tips and taxes, your entrance fees to all holy sites, and all breakfasts throughout the pilgrimage are included in your registration. Your daily lunch, and dinner is your only expense. You may want to shop, buy souvenirs, clothing, trinkets, and memories of your journey. We will have opportunities to exchange currencies – and credit cards are welcomed in virtually every place we go. Bring $500 if you plan on shopping in the markets throughout our journey.
Payment Plans and Cancellation
You may cancel your registration and receive a FULL refund within one week of booking your trip. There are no refunds after that. This is why travel insurance is so important in the event you need to cancel. The Cancellation Policy only applies to paid-in-full accounts at registration. Payments made via our installment plan are non-refundable at anytime.
Trip insurance is compulsory to protect you from an unexpected cancellation, losing your luggage, and any medical emergency during the retreat.
Do not confuse this with flight insurance. Trip insurance covers all aspects of your trip including your flight. You must submit proof that you have trip insurance 60 days before the retreat. Please purchase trip insurance with at least $100,000 worth of medical coverage since you never know what the universe has in store.
