For Sumo

The above quotes are based on Non Ac Tata Sumo's / Mahindra Maxx / Wagon R / Indica. You must be aware that when a guest is traveling in a Non Ac Tata Sumo's / Mahindra Maxx / Wagon R / Indica the vehicle changes every day/Sector wise & will be on contract as per the itinerary. This vehicle is not at your disposal. These vehicles cannot drop the guest, to the hotel (Government rule) and will have to leave the guest, at the Taxi Stand. From the Taxi stand, the guest is shifted into a local Taxi (Maruti Van / Wagon R maximum 4 pax in a vehicle) and then transferred to their respective hotels. Again the day they are going to Lachung, Lachen or Tshangu Lake and Nathula, they have to be transferred, by local Taxi, to a different stand and then get shifted into their vehicle which is a NAC Tata Sumo / Mahindra Maxx. The same exercise is vice-versa, on their return from Lachung, Lachen, or Tshangu Lake and Nathula. This Taxi fare is already included in the package's price quoted. Guest  may have to wait for the taxi transfer

Due to vehicle-parking difficulty, most of the areas are restricted to entry of vehicles & specific time is allotted for entries. Kindly follow the time strictly as given to you. In case of delays, the vehicle will have to leave the hotel area without you & get parked in a parking area. In such a case, you will have to be transferred to a Maruti Van FOR WHICH THE COST WILL HAVE TO BE BORNE BY YOU & WILL HAVE TO be COLLECTED DIRECTLY FROM GUEST.
