1. Business Status & Scope of Services
Kanishka Travel (kanishkatravel.com) is an independent private tour operator and travel facilitator registered in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. We specialize in curating tailored tour itineraries, reserving verified hotel and homestay accommodations, arranging commercial passenger vehicle transportation (such as Swift Dzire, Innova Crysta, Ertiga, and Tempo Travellers), and coordinating local on-ground route support across Uttarakhand (including Char Dham Yatra, Kedarnath, Badrinath, Auli, Chopta, Mussoorie, and Rishikesh).
Important Notice: Kanishka Travel is a private travel facilitator. We are not an official government entity, temple trust committee (e.g., Shri Badarinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee - BKTC), or direct helicopter operator. All temple entries are governed by respective temple administration guidelines, and biometric yatra registrations are issued officially via the Uttarakhand government portal.

- Transparent Inclusions & Exclusions: Each quotation and confirmation voucher explicitly details all service inclusions (e.g., vehicle type, toll taxes, parking, driver allowance, hotel stay category, meal plans) and exclusions.
- Balance Payment: The remaining balance of the package cost must be settled as per the schedule agreed upon prior to departure or during arrival pickup in Uttarakhand.
