Terms & Conditions

Important Notice for Participants

This agreement outlines the terms and conditions governing the relationship between participants (“you/your”) and The Touring Team Private Limited (“TTT”, “we”, “our”, “us”) for all expeditions, tours, and services organized by us.

By registering or participating in a TTT journey, you acknowledge and accept these terms. This agreement supersedes all prior communications, brochures, advertisements, or verbal commitments.

TTT functions as the organizer and facilitator of overland expeditions. While we coordinate logistics and support, many services (e.g., hotels, border agencies, local guides, vehicle permits, etc.) are provided by third parties. TTT assumes no liability for the performance, quality, or conduct of third-party services.

By confirming a booking, you (and your co-participants) agree to abide by these terms at all times.
