      Unfortunately 50% discount is not possible. But to honor him, ask him that he will get 20% discount because he is a solo traveler. Since he will travel this November and that would be a Peak Season. Besides, we are notified that many hotels are increasing their tariff by 30%.

    Interesting tour, there seems quite a few 6 hour journeys, are there other ways to travel rather then in a bus. Train perhaps or flights on these long journeys

      Yes few places are a distance but the scenic journey will make you happy. But this is a private tour hence no bus only car.

      Alyssa

      Traveler•Written May 2023

      I was about to book this tour as described in your description "based upon 2 sharing in 4* hotels" only to find that the advertised price is valid for 3 sharing!!

    • Travel ConOperator•Written May 2023

      Prices are meant for three people who are ready to share the room, basically it applies to a family or friends. For strangers we too do not recommend to share the room. If you are couple, then you have to pay and bear the prices.

    • Travel ConOperator•Written May 2023

      There are separately mentioned prices for a solo traveller, two traveller i.e. twin sharing basis and triple sharing basis i.e. when 3 persons sharing the room. It is very obvious that if 3 persons share the room, the prices are down compared to twin sharing basis.
