1. Acceptance of Terms and General Information
The website https://hillvibetourtithi.tithiadhikary.com is owned and operated by HillVibe Tours. All information, travel itineraries, blogs, and pricing details provided on this Site are meant for general informational and educational purposes only. By accessing or using our Site, you hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree to be bound by the terms, conditions, and legal liabilities outlined in this Disclaimer. While we make every effort to maintain absolute accuracy, we do not guarantee or warrant that the information is completely error-free, exhaustive, or updated in real-time.
2. Mountain Travel Risks & Force Majeure Advisory
Travel itineraries operating within the Himalayan sectors—specifically Darjeeling, Sikkim, Kurseong, and North Bengal—are intrinsically prone to unpredictable environmental dynamics. Under no circumstances shall HillVibe Tours be held responsible, liable, or legally accountable for any disruption, financial loss, delay, personal inconvenience, or cancellation of services caused directly or indirectly by:
- Sudden and severe weather shifts, cloudbursts, or heavy snowfall.
- Natural disasters, including but not limited to landslides, earthquakes, or floods.
- Political blockades, sudden strikes (bandhs), civil unrest, or localized route diversions.
- Technical breakdowns of trains, flights, or assigned transit vehicles.
In any such Force Majeure event, any additional expenses incurred due to extended stays, route alterations, or alternative transport must be borne entirely by the traveler.
3. Government Permits, Approvals, and Border Restrictions
Certain destinations across North and East Sikkim, including international border zones like Nathula Pass and high-altitude lakes, fall under restricted administrative control. Booking a package with HillVibe Tours does not guarantee automatic entry to these regions.
- All permits are strictly subject to final approval by local military and government administrative authorities.
- We accept zero liability for financial losses, missed sightseeing, or mental distress if a permit is denied, delayed, or revoked due to sudden national security protocols or inadequate/incorrect documentation provided by the traveler.
4. Third-Party Vendor and Supplier Services
HillVibe Tours operates as a curated travel facilitator. We coordinate with independent third-party vendors—such as hotels, homestays, private transport providers, and local guides—to execute your trip. We select our partners with the utmost care; however, we do not maintain direct operational control over them. Therefore, we are not liable for any deficiency in service, behavioral misconduct, property damage, or negligence on the part of any third-party vendor or their employees.
5. High-Altitude Medical Disclaimer & Assumption of Risk
Travel to specific destinations in Sikkim involves traversing extreme altitudes exceeding 12,000 to 17,000 feet. Such terrains present inherent health risks, including Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), respiratory complications, and physical exhaustion. It is the sole responsibility of the traveler to evaluate their medical fitness, consult a certified physician, and carry necessary personal medications before undertaking the journey. HillVibe Tours completely disclaims liability for any personal injury, medical emergency, illness, or fatality encountered during the tour.
6. Dynamic Pricing and Itinerary Amendments
All promotional costs, package prices, hotel tiers, and route maps displayed on the Site are dynamic and subject to change without prior notice. Final booking configurations and rates are only locked once an official confirmation voucher is formally issued by our authorized management team.
