Accommodation & Sharing Policy : 

1. Shared accommodation is allocated on a gender-wise basis and is subject to final batch composition and room availability.

3. Maharashtra Desha will make every reasonable effort to honour the selected sharing preference and provide the most suitable accommodation arrangement for all travellers.

4. Travellers booking as a group will be accommodated together to the maximum extent possible. However, mixed-gender groups may be divided into separate gender-wise rooms in accordance with the accommodation policy.

5. Travellers booking Double Sharing (2 persons) will be provided accommodation together as per their booking, irrespective of whether the occupants are male-male, female-female, or male-female. No Exclusive Group Accommodation charges shall apply in such cases.

6. Groups wishing to guarantee accommodation exclusively within their own group may opt for the "Exclusive Group Accommodation" facility by paying an additional charge of ₹500 per group.

ABOUT TRAIN TICKETS :

Important Travel Information - Train Ticket Booking with Maharashtra Desha 

1. Ticket Booking Process:

• Certified Agents: Maharashtra Desha Adventure uses IRCTC-certified agents to book train tickets.

• AI-Based Tools: We employ AI-based tools like ConfirmTicket to predict the probability of your ticket being confirmed.

• Booking Strategy: Tickets are booked based on maximum confirmation probability, depending on the remaining days until departure.

2. Confirmation Disclaimer:

• No Guarantee: The tool does not guarantee 100% confirmation for waitlisted and RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation) tickets.

• Limited Control: Maharashtra Desha Adventure does not control ticket confirmations; it is managed by IRCTC, a government body.

• RAC Tickets: There is a possibility of receiving a RAC (half-seat) ticket instead of a confirmed seat. Maharashtra Desha Adventure is not responsible for the lack of confirmed tickets.

3. Train Cancellations and Route Changes:

• Responsibility: If a train is cancelled or the route changes, Maharashtra Desha Adventure will not be held responsible.

• Alternate Solutions: Alternative solutions will be provided at an additional cost.

4. Booking Recommendations:

• Advance Booking: To increase the likelihood of getting a confirmed seat, book your trip at least 60 days in advance.

• Seasonal Availability: Seat availability varies by season. Peak festive and tourist seasons may reduce the chances of getting confirmed seats due to limited train options.

5. Alternate Train Options:

• Agent Assistance: Our agents may contact you with alternate train options that have higher confirmation probabilities. These alternatives may involve a fare difference, which you will need to cover if you choose to upgrade.

• Predictability Tool Limitations: Occasionally, our predictability tool may fail, resulting in an RAC seat upon chart preparation. Maharashtra Desha Adventure is not responsible for providing full seats or issuing refunds in such cases.

6. Premium Trains:

• Higher Fares: Premium trains like Rajdhani and Duronto have fares approximately 50% higher than regular trains.

• Higher Confirmation Rates: These trains offer the highest probability of ticket confirmation and are recommended for a better travel experience.

• Flight Options: If you decide to switch to flight travel during your trip, notify us at least 36 hours in advance for a hassle-free cancellation of train tickets.

• Cancellation Policy: Last-minute cancellations are not always possible due to fixed agent schedules and other factors.
