Welcome to Gangasagar Dham. Gangasagar Dham is a travel service brand operated by A 2 Z TRIP, based in Kolkata. We organize Gangasagar pilgrimage tours and travel assistance for customers travelling from Kolkata to Sagar Island. These Terms & Conditions explain the rules applicable to the use of our website and the booking of tours, transportation, accommodation, sightseeing, pilgrimage services, and other travel-related facilities offered by us.

By using our website, submitting an enquiry, making a booking, or using any of our services, you confirm that you have read and accepted these Terms & Conditions.

We request you to carefully review these terms before confirming your travel arrangements or making any payment.

1 General Terms

Gangasagar Dham provides tour, travel, pilgrimage, transportation, accommodation, sightseeing, and related travel assistance services.

The exact services included in a booking will depend on the selected package, quotation, itinerary, or service confirmed with the customer.

All services and reservations are subject to availability and final confirmation.

2 Quotation and Booking Process

Quotations shared by Gangasagar Dham are based on availability and may be revised until the booking has been officially confirmed.

Receiving a quotation or submitting an enquiry does not by itself create a confirmed reservation.

A booking will generally be treated as confirmed once:

  • The requested service or availability has been confirmed.
  • The required advance or full payment has been received.
  • A booking confirmation has been issued.

If a requested service becomes unavailable before confirmation, Gangasagar Dham may suggest a suitable alternative or make reasonable changes to the itinerary after discussing them with the customer.

3 Package Price

The final cost of a tour or travel package may depend on several factors, including:

  • Number of travelers
  • Selected travel dates
  • Hotel category
  • Type of transportation
  • Duration of the trip
  • Seasonal demand
  • Availability of hotels and vehicles
  • Special requirements requested by the customer

Rates may be different during festivals, holidays, weekends, peak travel periods, or periods of increased demand.

Services or facilities that are not specifically included in the confirmed package may be charged separately.

4 Payment Terms

Customers are required to complete payments according to the payment schedule communicated during the booking process.

Depending on the type of booking, payment may be required in the form of:

  • An advance payment at the time of booking
  • A partial payment before travel
  • Full payment before departure

A reservation may remain unconfirmed until the required payment has been successfully received.

Payments made through bank transfer, UPI, payment gateways, or other methods may require successful receipt and verification before confirmation is issued.
