1. Introduction

At Ghumo Ji Travels, we are committed to providing a fair and transparent refund process. This Refund Policy explains when you are eligible for a refund, how refunds are processed, and the timeline for receiving your refund.

Refunds are processed in accordance with our Cancellation Policy. Please read both policies together to understand your rights and obligations.

  • Failed payment where the amount was deducted from your account

2.2 Partial Refund Situations

  • Cancellation within the cancellation window (as per Cancellation Policy)

  • Force majeure cancellation (after deducting actual costs incurred)

3. Refund Exclusions

Refunds will NOT be provided in the following situations:
