Dear Kashmir Travelers,
We are very sorry to inform you that we will not be able to run our March 22 - April 2 Kashmir trip due to the deteriorating security situation in India and Kashmir. Since the bombing last week in Kashmir, the tension between the two countries has escalated and news from the region indicates that Kashmir is under curfew and activity is curtailed for the foreseeable future.
We understand this news is disappointing, and sincerely regret any inconvenience this may cause, however our travelers safety always comes first, and therefore we feel the cancellation of the departure is the most responsible action to take at this time. We will be in contact with you shortly to facilitate processing your refunds and generating a letter to support your request of refund from your air carrier, if needed.
We would also like to offer you an inconvenience credit of $300 per person to use towards another trip. We do have a Kashmir departure October 18 - 29, 2019 that we would be happy to transfer you to if that works for your schedule. We also understand that the spring might be the best timing for you and thus would suggest our upcoming Jordan or Iran departures (Discover Ancient Jordan & Petra April 3 - 14, Treasures of Iran April 24 - May 8) or a private trip to India or elsewhere? Please let us know the best time for our Regional Specialist Brian Allen to contact you to assist in arranging an alternative to this trip.
Again, we apologize for the inconvenience this causes, and also thank you for your patience in waiting to hear whether this departure would run. We look forward to working with you to arrange the next steps in your travel as it pertains to this trip and potential other options.
