Terms & Conditions

Taurus is the most elaborate RV (recreational vehicle) in India as of now – the campervan camping – was anchored on the riverbanks of Raavi near Madhopur, Pathankot, (Punjab, INDIA). It offers the best experiential outdoor holidays.

To enjoy your holidays, you need to have complete faith in us.

Holidays to genuinely relax, detox and rejuvenate with `quality time’ in wilderness the lap of nature with comfort, away from humdrums of life come at a price. There always seems to be a compromise too; hotel comfort at the cost of location opportunity and/or location opportunity at the cost of hotel comfort. Why not both at the same time and place?

Quality comes at a price.

Camp is run as “self-service”. Though, we set up everything. We support the cause of the green (nature conservation). 

Tariff

Packages are available from Rs 15,00 to Rs 15,000 per person per night, depends on the combination of facilities, food, region, number of days, number of persons in a group, etc. This new concept of outdoor holidays has Special Offers.

Our tariff cannot be ascertained or evaluated or fixed on per day basis, which is easier to do in case of a hotel or any static infrastructure (resorts and camps).

• It’s very expensive to run and maintain this infrastructure – tangible and intangibles – wear and tear costs a lot, toll tax, other taxes, general service of the vehicle and infrastructure, salaries, rent of locations, fixed and variable, etc. And many other invisible expenses.
• Being a mobile camping, tariff differs from area to area, route to route even in the same region and in the same month.
• Exact tariff for each holidays program/ itinerary is either mentioned or you may call/ WhatsApp +91-9888 380386      +91-6280 595008, based on the area and route.
• Package includes only stay onboard Taurus and camping trailers, food from the kitchen of Taurus, is extra unless clearly specified otherwise. 
• Hired transport for excursions will be mentioned clearly with your program/ itinerary.
• Single Supplement is applicable.
• There are many activities which are not undertaken by everyone, so we have kept our activities optional and to be paid if consumed or availed, basically to ensure that guests save their money.
• Our tariff plans are two types –  ‘all inclusive’ and ‘limited’ (with basic tariff for the basic needs), which are mentioned in ‘What is Included’ and ‘What is Not Included’ with each program.

PLATINUM:

These programs are all inclusive, with activities mentioned, extra items and unlimited food for the following:

• Indian eg food (morning tea/ breakfast, lunch, soup, dinner).
• Morning evening tea/ coffee, snacks.
• Beverages (packaged juices, aeriated drinks).
• Safaris.
• Barbecue (veg and non-veg).
• Transport travel,  as per the prescribed program details, veg barbecue,  camel ride and safari (where possible), local transport for shopping, excursions, if time and circumstances permit then a photo session for the guests, unlimited service from the kitchen, etc.

GOLD:

• All basic needs are taken care but with a certain limit to facilities and activities which doesn’t cut corners on quality.
• We have only removed the extra frills to bring down the tariff of the holiday.
• It suffices for the experience and one won’t need to look at one’s pocket to pay again while being on the program/ tour/ holiday, except any expenses at the facilities other than Taurus.

SILVER:

• Basic tariff and basic camp needs to ensure it suits those who love ‘soft adventure’ and fits into the budget/ pockets of those who like to have very basic needs on outdoor holidays.
• So you  “pay as used/ as consumed” basis.
• Basically, to let you exercise your choices and save your money for the undesired items and activities.

Your comfort is our concern!

A certain degree of respect and care (for the physical fatigue of the crew) has to be extended by all participants collectively and in personal capacity towards the crew of Green Dot Expeditions and anyone else associated with our operations.

16. If you need Taurus for astrophotography as a subject lit up then you must discuss this as a group before the tariff has been quoted. It needs lots of effort to set up Taurus as a foreground subject and then sleeping arrangements are done differently.

We insist that please understand this is an outdoor activity and can not be compared with static camping, resort, hotel or restaurant for its food, sleeping and any other comforts. But at the same time it offers a different kind of experience for those souls who love outdoor life and its a luxury for outdoor experience with nomadic lifestyle and has no comparison as of now in the tourism industry.
