Cancellation Policy
Refunds, rebooking, and departure changes
Last updated: June 2026
Standard Refund Schedule
More than 60 days before departure: full refund of amounts paid minus a $150 administrative fee per person. This is the same rule referenced across the website (Home, FAQ, Tour pages).
30–60 days before departure: 50% refund of the tour price.
Less than 30 days before departure: no refund, but credit toward a future departure within 12 months (subject to availability).
Rebooking & Transfers
One free date change is permitted up to 45 days before departure, subject to availability and any fare differences.
If GREATSILKTRAILS cancels a departure, you receive a full refund or transfer to another date at no extra cost.
Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering cancellation, medical evacuation, and trip interruption — especially for remote Silk Road segments.
Claims related to personal illness, visa denial after timely application, or failure to meet group departure points are not eligible for operator refunds beyond the schedule above.
