March 2020 update

In the light of the Indian government’s travel restrictions for arrivals up to April 15th, and those imposed by the UK and other countries, we are not able to accept bookings from guests for the rest of the current season (to end May 2020). Bhutan and Nepal are similarly closed to international guests. We hope very much that departures from autumn 2020 will proceed as normal, but we understand the dilemma of fixing any travel plans during the current global health crisis. We urge you to continue to support Village Ways, and we promise you the flexibility to change your plans, if you need to.

Therefore, you can switch to another destination or move your travel dates up to 31 days before you’re due to depart, and we will provide you with a travel credit to the value of your original booking. If official travel advice remains in place against all but essential travel to any destination you are visiting, we will cancel your trip for free, or we will give you a full travel credit. You can put your credit toward another Village Ways trip for at least the same value.

We will be working with our partner communities to see how we can continue to help them during this crisis, and will post updates from our communities on our blog and social media. We thank all our guests for the support they show us by choosing to visit our partner communities, and wish everyone well during these difficult days.
