Travel Fare
Travel Fare: The fare for the journey, including meals, tea, snacks, guesthouse accommodation (in Nepal), bus, and sleeper class coach for the steam train, will be ₹27,000/- per person. To make an advance booking, ₹1,001/- per traveler should be deposited in cash or online into the 'Shri Shiv Shankar Tirth Yatra' account at SBI Bank in Rishikesh. The remaining amount will be collected after boarding the train. If you wish to travel to or from Kathmandu via airplane, it can be arranged separately at ₹4,000 (one way) per traveler.
Travel Details
Buses will be arranged by the organization at marked locations. These buses will take travelers from the railway station to the temples and bring them back to the station afterward. For places where there is no mark, the distance from the temple stations is considerable, so travelers can go there either by foot or by rickshaw (at their own expense). This way, travelers will have to walk very little.
During the journey, tea-breakfast and lunch will be provided to the travelers. The meal will include one lentil, one vegetable, rice, and complete bread arrangements. Tea will be served in the evening. Desi ghee will be used in bread, lentils, and rice, and refined oil will be used in breakfast, vegetables, and puris. Both Basmati and non-Basmati rice will be prepared at different times. Depending on availability, travelers will also be provided with pickles, papad, sweet, and salad with the meal. The use of onion and garlic will be avoided. Jain thali will be arranged for meals during long-distance travel by rail. Each traveler will be given a bottle of mineral water with lunch and dinner.
Travelers should bring two passport-sized photos, original voter ID card, and original Aadhar card with them. Please ensure each traveler carries a glass, spoon, plastic bucket, mug, a plastic seat (3x3 feet) for washing and bathing clothes, and a mattress (according to the weather).
To ensure the security of travelers' belongings, an adequate number of committee members will be available on the train to prepare tea, snacks, and meals and oversee them. No traveler should wear gold or silver jewelry. During the journey, the responsibility for any financial or physical damage and the traveler's belongings will lie solely with the traveler. The organizer will not be responsible for any losses incurred by travelers.
Each traveler will be provided with a full berth for sleeping during the train journey. No folding beds will be placed between the seats in the compartment. Each compartment will be a three-tier sleeper class. Travelers should bring their own bedding (according to the weather) for train travel. Where there is no train, arrangements for travelers to stay overnight will be made in guesthouses by the committee.
We only provide basic medical facilities during our journey. Travelers who take regular medication are advised to bring their medicines according to the travel program days. During the journey, if required, travelers can arrange for hospital/doctor visits at their own expense. Travelers will be responsible for compensation in case of sudden accidents or natural disasters during the journey. There will be a charging board in each cabin of each compartment for mobile charging, but the security of mobile devices will be the responsibility of the travelers themselves.
Elderly individuals and single women can comfortably undertake our journey. The atmosphere of the journey will feel like home, ensuring there is no sense of loneliness.
Travelers availing LTC/LFC facilities will be provided with journey receipts, travel certificates, and a copy of the railway's travel program. However, the responsibility of providing LTC will not lie with the organization.
Travelers are required to bring cash or a draft/cheque from any bank in the name of "Shri Shivshankar Teerth Yatra (Regd.)" drawn on the Rishikesh branch to settle any outstanding amounts.
Rules
Travelers must adhere to the following rules:
Travelers must fully comply with the rules set by the Railway Department for special trips (regarding luggage, railway timetable, and bogie checking). The jurisdiction for any dispute shall solely be Rishikesh (Dehradun). Disputes arising under the Consumer Forum shall also be within the jurisdiction of Rishikesh (Dehradun).
Travelers are requested to inform the head office after booking to avoid any possibility of error. When booking seats, travelers should carefully read and book the seat under the name of the institution's administrator Shri Lala Shivcharan Lal Agarwal, along with their photo and the name of the travel agency.
Each traveler must adhere to the timetable; if for any reason someone gets separated from the group, they will reach the next station/destination at their own expense. The manager has the right to separate infectious patients, those consuming intoxicants, or unruly passengers from the journey.
If a traveler, due to any reason or illness, wishes to return home leaving the journey incomplete, in such a situation, the traveler will only be provided with a third-tier sleeper class ticket by the manager to reach home. Refund of fare will not be applicable under any circumstances. This arrangement will only apply if communicated five days prior to the end of the journey.
The availability of trains during the journey depends on the basis of time. Therefore, if there is a delay in the train, flight, breakdown of the bus, changes by the railway, bad weather, weekly holidays, closures, rallies, etc., leading to not being able to see a place at some point, the institution/manager will make changes in the program. Travelers are requested to fully cooperate under such circumstances understanding the situation.
During the journey period, the manager will try to provide maximum convenience to the travelers, but some inconvenience during the journey is natural. At that time, as per the saying 'Paradesh Naresh Kaaleshan', endure it with the feeling of austerity and provide full support to the manager. Apologies for any errors in printing.
Cancellation Policy: If a traveler wishes to cancel their seat booking for any reason after booking it, they must provide a written notice at least 12 days prior to the departure date of the journey to receive a refund of the advance amount (after deducting the railway reservation cancellation fee). If written notice is not received at least 12 days before the departure date, the advance amount will not be refunded. If the booking is made within the last 12 days before the journey date and the traveler cancels their seat, the advance amount will not be refunded. If the journey is canceled by the traveler up to 5 days before the journey date (excluding the journey date itself), the institution reserves the legal right to charge the full fare of the journey from the traveler. No exemptions will be allowed in this regard.
