Once we receive your booking request, our experienced friendly Travel Experts will assist you in making reservations at all the desired places according to your special requirements and interests. After that they will send you a confirmation mail which implies that your accommodation and all other arrangements have been confirmed. Then we send you a confirmation mail along with total tour cost bill. Once the invoice will be raised a contract will be established between you and Ampersand Travels. If a particular hotel is not available, we will offer a suitable alternative.

If it is necessary to cancel your travel arrangements, we will pay to you compensation. If we make a major change to your holiday, we will inform you as soon as possible if there is time before your arrival in Jammu & Kashmir.
