These Terms and Conditions constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“Guest”, “Customer”, or “User”) and Bakri Chhap Agro-Tourism and Natural Products Pvt. Ltd. (“Bakri Chhap”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).

By browsing our website (bakrichhap.com), reserving a village homestay, booking an event, or purchasing goods from our natural produce store, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use our services.

2 Responsible Village Travel Ethos

Bakri Chhap homestays are real village homes embedded in fragile Himalayan and rural ecosystems. When you visit our partner villages, you are arriving as a revered guest into a living community.

3 Homestay Bookings & Verification

All accommodation reservations are subject to confirmation upon successful advance payment:

• Government ID Requirement: In compliance with Indian Police and Tourism Department regulations, every staying adult must present a valid government photo ID (Aadhaar Card, Passport, Voter ID, or Driving License) during check-in.
• Check-in & Check-out: Standard check-in time is 12:00 PM IST and check-out time is 10:00 AM IST. Early check-in or late check-out is subject to room availability and prior host confirmation.
• Village Accessibility & Mountain Terrain: Certain village homestays require a brief uphill walk or village path trek (ranging from 100 meters to 1.5 km). Guests are advised to review stay accessibility notes and travel with suitable mountain footwear and compact luggage.
• Meals & Local Cuisine: Homestays serve authentic, freshly prepared local Pahadi and organic village meals. Special dietary requirements should be conveyed in advance.

4 Natural Produce & Store Orders

Bakri Chhap facilitates direct market access for marginal mountain farmers and craft clusters:

• Natural Variations: Because our honey, indigenous millets, mountain pulses, cold-pressed oils, and handwoven shawls are 100% natural and handcrafted, slight variations in color, aroma, texture, and seasonal yield are natural hallmarks of authenticity.
• Pricing & Taxes: All prices listed on the website are in Indian Rupees (INR) and inclusive of applicable GST unless stated otherwise. Shipping fees are calculated at checkout based on destination pincode and weight.
• Order Confirmation: An order confirmation email with tracking details will be issued upon successful receipt of payment.
