Cancellation and Refund Policy


The Cancellation policy defined is applicable universally to all the vacation packages curated by trekhops.com. All the packages offered by this platform are non-refundable and non-transferable. However, there are some exceptional cases subject to the policies that may offer a refund, subject to the penalties. In certain cases Hotels, or Activity partners involved in specific packages may provide refunds, albeit subject to penalties outlined in the terms and conditions of the respective package.

Policies for Refundable Packages or a Part of the Package

If Hotels, or other suppliers offer a refund, as outlined in the terms of the package, the responsibility for approving these refunds lies with the respective service providers. If it is refundable, partially refundable or Non refundable, it would be mentioned in the Terms and conditions of the package shared with you.

For refundable or partially refundable packages, the processing time for these refunds can vary, it's typically completed within 45 business days from the specific date of cancellation or when the Hotel or vendor initiates the refund request. Please note that the exact timeline may vary depending on the policies of the individual service providers.

Further, it's important to note that the actual refund amount may be subject to change due to various factors, such as fluctuations in international exchange rates, the total amount recovered from suppliers, and any payments received from customers up to the specified date. Any alterations to the refund value will be communicated to customers via their respective account owners for transparency and clarity.
