provides comprehensive coverage for the entire duration of the tour. This should include protection for

medical expenses, injury, death, repatriation, trip cancellation, and curtailment. It is recommended to

17. Extra services booked by traveler with other agency or service provider

Extra services directly booked by the traveler with other agency or service provider, apart from Aarya

of the traveler to manage. In such case, while we at Aarya Village Travel Pvt. Ltd. are here to assist

www.aaryatravel.com E: [email protected]

Kathmandu|Nepal

and provide guidance, we do not assume any responsibility for the cancellations, changes, or any

issues that may arise with these bookings. The traveler is responsible for communicating with the

respective service providers directly, making necessary arrangements, and addressing any concerns

or modifications related to their bookings.

We want to emphasize that Aarya Village Travel Pvt. Ltd. cannot be held liable for any accidents,

injuries, or damages that may occur during the provision of extra services directly booked by the

traveler. Furthermore, while we strive to partner with reputable service providers, the traveler

assumes all risks associated with these services. It is essential for the traveler to understand and

adhere to the terms and conditions set forth by the service providers, including any safety guidelines

or precautions.

We encourage our travelers to carefully review and confirm their bookings, communicate directly with

such agency or service providers, and consider obtaining appropriate travel insurance to safeguard

against unforeseen circumstances or incidents related to their independently booked services. Our

team is available to provide information and assistance, but the ultimate responsibility for managing

and ensuring the satisfactory execution of these bookings lies with the traveler.
