Identical money for either reading of the week
What sits inside a figure before you reserve a week from $1,340 per person
Figures run from $1,340 to $3,180 per person, two sharing a double room. The same figure buys the good week and the poor one, which is the whole point of how this catalogue is set down.
Reserve one of these weeksSend the form whenever it suits: it never shuts. Someone here replies inside one working day, and no charge arises at this end.
Held by every figure on this site, in practice
Nights as stated, in a room of middle standard, which here means yours alone with its own bathroom, plus breakfast wherever the house puts it on. The guided days listed on the place page come inside the figure, together with the admission charges those days carry and whatever local transfers they require. So do the operating company's charges for running the week itself. Last, written confirmation: it names that company, your dates and the undertaking it has given, it is issued by the company, and a copy comes to this office.
Left outside every figure
Travel to the country and back out of it is yours to arrange and yours to pay for. Meals go uncovered unless the place page names them. So does anything personal, anything you add after arrival, and any charge another party puts to you directly. Gratuities form no part of the money and are never handled for you by this office. When a permit has to be bought on the spot, the place page states it and prints the sum, instead of burying it inside the total.
Why a poor week is not discounted
Bad weather does not make anything cheaper to provide. Rooms stay held, guides still get paid, transfers still run, and what the operating company lays out comes to the same sum whether the light turns up or stays away. Price the good version quietly and hope, and what you are really selling is a forecast nobody can make. The week is what gets priced here, both of its versions are printed, and neither one is put forward as the better purchase. The scale on every place page is not a quality rating either, and neither version of a week is described as the better buy.
Eight things that move a figure, in practice
The date you ask on, since an operating company quotes against whatever rates it is holding that morning. The size of the party and the way the rooms split between you. One traveller keeping a double room to themselves, which brings a single supplement into the sum. Room standard, at the places where a grade above or below is available. Which week of the season you take, because a shoulder week and a peak week carry different money. A guide to yourselves against joining a group. A transfer on a scheduled service against a car booked for you alone. And the rate of exchange on whichever day the invoice leaves the operating company.
Finish the sentence and a week gets reserved
Whatever the hour, what you send lands here and is read by a person, who replies inside one working day. Sending it binds you to nothing, and no sum is ever taken at this end.
