Terms & Conditions for Travelers:
When you book a trip with Kim Schleicher (Kim Schleicher, et al) you will be deemed to have agreed to these Traveler Terms & Conditions.
Deposits and Final Payment
In order to confirm your booking with us, you will be required to pay a non-refundable deposit towards the total price of your trip. You may pay your deposit by credit card. Final payment is due 60 days before the start of the tour.
Please note: The estimated cost of the tours is based on the currency exchange rate as of June 2023. If there is a significant change in the exchange rate at the time the final payment is due, cost is subject to change.
Passport, Visas and Other Travel Documents
For trips outside or your home country, you must have a valid passport and have obtained all other required travel documents (visas, permits, certificates etc.) for the countries you will visit during your trip. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the end date of the trip.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in possession of all such required travel documents for your trip. We are not responsible if you are refused entry to a country because you lack the correct travel documents.
Your Details
For us to confirm your booking, we may need you to provide this information:
Passport information
Copy/scan of passport photo page
Date of Birth
Dietary requests/restrictions
Any medical conditions, injuries or physical limitations that you want us to know about and/or which may affect your ability to participate fully in some aspects of the trip.
Requests for Roommate Matching
If you are traveling solo but do not want to pay the higher price for “single occupancy,” notify us at the time of booking. We will do our best to match roommates in order to accommodate the request for the lower “double occupancy” rate.
However, if we are unable to match you with a roommate as of the due date for final payment, then you will be charged the single occupancy rate.
Cancellation by Traveler
If you wish to cancel your booking, you may do so any time. If you cancel 91 days before the scheduled trip start date we will refund all amounts paid except for the initial deposit, which is non-refundable. If you cancel your booking 90 days or less prior to the scheduled trip start date (or if you fail to show up, or if you leave a trip prior to its completion for any reason), there are no refunds. Bookings are non-transferable. We strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance.
Cancellation by Tour Operator
We reserve the right to cancel any trip at any time and will refund all monies. If the trip is canceled, due to natural disaster, political instability or other disruptions and/or events beyond our control (“force majeure events”), or the operating of the trip would be unsafe or otherwise unviable and the trip is cancelled due to a force majeure event, the client will receive a refund equal to the monies paid less any costs incurred which are not recoverable. We strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance.
Health Certification
By booking a trip with us you confirm that you are mobile and in good general health, and capable of performing the activities contemplated for the trip you have booked. You also confirm that you are capable of caring for yourself during the trip, and that you will not impede the progress of the trip or the enjoyment of other travelers.
Third Party Operators and Yoga Instructors are Independent Contractors
We contract with Third Party Operators to provide all goods and services for your trip; and you understand that all Third Party Operators are independent contractor(s), and not our affiliates or employees. In selecting Third Party Operators, we do our best to seek out reliable suppliers and contractors to provide the necessary travel-related goods and services. We will not be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential or incidental damage, liability, injury, loss cost or expense you may incur (including any claim relating to personal injury, illness, death, property damage or loss, delay or other inconvenience) arising out of or by reason of the acts or omissions of any Third Party Operator.

Certain locations are remote and require additional travel time away from city centers and towns; as such, medical attention may not always be readily available or may be of inferior quality compared to what is available at home. Also, you may be visiting places where the political, cultural and geographical environment is very different than where you live, and in some cases, these differences may present increased risks and/or challenges. We use reasonably available information from the U.S. government, applicable foreign governments and reports from our contacts in planning each trip itinerary, and assessing the viability of each trip itinerary as the start date approaches. However, it is your responsibility to acquaint yourself with all available and relevant travel information for your destination and the nature of your itinerary. You acknowledge and agree that your decision to travel is made after having considered this information, and you expressly assume the personal risks involved with such travel.

You release Kim Schleicher, et al. from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, expenses, damages, demands, actions, causes of action, lawsuits or sums of money of any kind arising out of, by reason of, resulting from and/or related to any trip you may book and/or participate in; and you understand and acknowledge that you are fully responsible for and expressly assume any and all risks, whether known or unknown, in connection therewith.
