Travelers' Responsibility
Travelers are responsible for having proper travel documents, such as a valid passport with enough pages, the proper visas, proof of required vaccinations and the necessary passport pictures. Khiri Travel strongly advises travelers to have proper and adequate travel insurance for the duration of their trip.
Force Majeure
Khiri Travel defines Force Majeure as: “Any circumstances beyond the reasonable control of a party which prevent or impede the due performance of our services, including but not limited to war or hostilities; riot or civil commotion; epidemic; earthquake, flood or other natural disasters.”

We shall in no event be liable to the traveler or his travel agent, by reason of breach of services or unsatisfactory services provided to the traveler by third parties or by way of indemnity or in tort or otherwise, for any loss, injury, damage, delay, change in schedule or other adverse events which are beyond the control of Khiri Travel and/or sustained by an act or default of any person or company providing the services to the traveler.
