Bikat Pass provides the buyer access to 105 adventure itineraries out of which 22 itineraries can be booked for free, 28 itineraries can be booked at 50% discount, and 55 itineraries can be booked with a 30% discount. Please refer the following page for benefits included in each category of the pass: https://www.bikatadventures.com/Home/Pages/Bikat-Pass-2024

"Compact" & "Classic" Passes will be valid for the entire calendar year of 2024. However, to avail of the benefits, the pass holder will have to book a trek that has its 'start date' and 'end date' falling within 2024, i.e.,the end date for the trek has to be on or before 31st December 2024.

"Pro" Pass will be valid for the entire calendar years of 2024 & 2025. However, to avail of the benefits, the pass holder will have to book a trek that has its 'start date' and 'end date' falling within 2024 - 2025, i.e.,the end date for the trek has to be on or before 31st December 2025.

The above benefit is only applicable for batches with fixed departures. The itinerary or the inclusions of the trek cannot be customized in any way (except availing add-ons after due payment). For 'free treks', the booking will only be offered in confirmed fixed departure batches.

Pass holder can only book treks for which he/she is eligible in terms of experience & fitness. Treks offered (both free & discounted) belong to different difficulty levels as per the Bikat Rating Scale(BRS). Interested participants must fulfill certain criteria (past trekking experience) to be eligible for a particular trek. Discretion to ascertain eligibility resides in the hands of the company.

To avail the benefits of the pass, the pass holder is required to book a trek (free or discounted) from their dashboard on the Bikat website within 60 to 10 days prior to the start date of the itinerary. Applications outside this window will not be considered. Once the pass member sends a booking request, our team will update the status of the booking request within 5 working days. More details about the booking process will be sent to the shortlisted pass members over e-mail.

30% of the seats in every confirmed batch (total group size is 15) will be reserved for Pass Members.

For the most sought after batch dates (like holidays around festivals & long weekends) when we receive Bookings for the same date from many Pass Members (sometimes 20-25 members), preference will be given to members who have done the least number of treks with the Bikat Pass.

To book a discounted trek, a pass member will be required to make the payment of the full due amount (Price mentioned on the itinerary page minus 50% or 30% discount). No partial payments allowed.

Pass holders cannot club the benefits of any ongoing promotional offer/discount voucher/individual vouchers/refund vouchers/gift vouchers/membership vouchers etc. with the benefits of the Pass. Post-booking benefits available to non-pass holders like Inaugural vouchers/booking cashback/referral vouchers etc. shall not be credited for bookings made while availing the benefits of the Pass.

In an extension to the existing cancellation policy already applicable for non-pass holders, pass holders are required to communicate, in writing, their inability to participate in a trek that they have booked by utilizing the Bikat pass. The inability to cancel before the stipulated time period i.e. 5 days prior to the departure date or not being present at the reporting place according to the reporting time will be treated as a case of no-show. Any incidence of no-show will attract a penalty of INR 3000 payable by the pass holder. Pass-holder will not be able to avail the benefits of the pass without clearing the outstanding penalty. Pass holders can, as per their discretion, book any number of treks and cancel them within the time period allowed.

Any incidence of no-show will lead to forfeiture of the complete paid amount (including add-ons, GST or any other additional payment made by the pass holder). For a confirmed booking that is canceled within the allowed time period, a voucher shall be generated with the amount equal to the paid amount (excluding add-ons & GST). The validity of this voucher will be 2 years from the date of expiry of the pass. The voucher will be visible on your Bikat dashboard immediately after the cancellation and can be used for any future booking. In case the future booking is again for a 'discounted trek', the pass holder can only utilize either of the two - the voucher refund OR the 30%/50% discount benefit, not both at the same time.

For example – You are a pass holder who wants to book a 'discounted trek' worth INR 20000. To book, you will need to pay only INR 14000 (plus any add-ons availed & GST). If you cancel within the permissible time limit, your dashboard will be credited with a voucher worth INR 14000. However, whenever you will use the voucher for another trek (except 'free treks'), you will not be able to avail the discount available otherwise to a pass holder. Hence, to book a trek worth INR 20000, you will have the option to use your INR 14000 voucher and clear the balance by making an additional payment of INR 6000 OR you can elect to not use the voucher and then pay INR 14000 for the fresh booking. Pass holders are not eligible for a cash refund. Notwithstanding any provision mentioned in this T&C, all cases of cancellations shall be treated as per the existing cancellation policy of the company.

The benefits available to a pass holder is only limited to the price of the trek (as mentioned on the itinerary page). Charges for add-ons like insurance, transportation, offloading (wherever applicable) have to be paid in full by the participant to confirm their booking. The above condition is applicable to both – free & discounted treks.

In addition to the booking & cancellation policy, all other policies & regulations which are relevant to a non-pass participant are also applicable to a pass holder participant. All participants will be required to read and sign a written document that contains said regulations (also referred to as 'the undertaking form') and abides by the provisions therein. Additionally, all pass holders are required to present a valid Govt-issued photo ID (PAN card not allowed) to our representative at the time of reporting.

The terms of the Bikat Pass are non-negotiable and the benefits provided therein are completely non-transferable. Any attempt by a bonafide pass holder to transfer the benefits to any other person may result in the cancellation of said pass holder's privileges.

The Bikat Pass is not extendable beyond validity period in any case.

The amount paid for purchasing the Bikat pass is non refundable.

Bikat Adventures reserves the right to cancel the pass at any time in case of indiscipline and/or inappropriate behavior during the trek . Any unused amount at the time of cancellation will be refunded to the pass member in cash. The unused amount will be calculated after adjusting the sum of benefits availed from the Pass fee. In case the sum of benefits availed exceed the pass fee, nothing will be charged from the Pass member.

Same trek can not be done more than once in the free category.

The cost of the pass does not include GST. GST is payable extra @ 5%.
