   Corbett Tiger Reserve does not issue special certifications, authorizations, or exclusive permissions to private travel agencies, tour operators, VIP travelers or individual guests—including any preferential treatment or special access to book night stay permits. All travelers (whether VIP or general public) and tour operators share the exact same common access to official booking portal (https://corbettgov.org/).

3. Booking Request and Confirmation

   Advance Reservation Request

   Guests may submit advance reservation requests for future travel dates, including dates for which the official online booking window for night stay permit may not yet have opened. Submission of a request or payment of an advance amount does not constitute a confirmed booking.

   Confirmation of Forest Rest House Package (Booking)

   A Forest Rest House Package shall be considered confirmed only when:

   1. The required Forest Rest House night stay permit has been successfully booked through the official booking system, and
   2. Written confirmation has been issued by The Indian Voyage to the guest.

   Guests are advised not to make non-refundable travel arrangements such as flight or train bookings until they receive written confirmation.

4. Authorisation to Process Your Booking

   By submitting a booking request and making payment, you authorise The Indian Voyage, a unit of Green View Voyage Pvt. Ltd., to act on your behalf and attempt to secure the required Forest Rest House night stay permit, jeep and driver allocation, transport allocation and related travel services.

   We will make reasonable efforts to complete the booking process; however, successful confirmation for Forest Rest House Package cannot be guaranteed.

5. Reasons Forest Rest House Package Confirmation May Not Be Possible

   As mentioned above, securing a night stay permit for a forest rest house is a vital part of the Forest Rest House Package. Multiple factors govern the successful booking of a night stay permit, including:

   • High demand and limited availability.
   • Limited room inventory.
   • Multiple users attempting bookings simultaneously.
   • Technical issues or server errors on official booking portals.
   • Changes in government regulations or booking procedures.
   • Restrictions or guidelines imposed by Corbett Tiger Reserve or the Uttarakhand Forest Department.

   If we are unable to secure the requested permit, the booking request shall remain unconfirmed, and the refund provisions outlined in these terms shall apply.
