Tailored for motorists. The HVK Central Hotel Desk ("CHD") has identified several hotels in the Ladakh Circuit &  across India, mainly in the highways, with whom it has made arrangements to book hotel rooms for the subscribers of this product. In many instances, the hotels extend price privileges. Typically, the CHD helps select hotels for the subscribers on the spot, but in certain circumstances, it may suggest that bookings be done in advance also.

Although the CHD has identified Hotels in all major destinations in India & popular travel circuits, especially on the highways of India, you are advised to check locations before you travel. 

The selected hotels you stay in are hotels the members of the HVK Forum & HiVayKing Club have stayed in – none of them are picked out of any directory, these are hotels reviewed by us during our own visits. In most destinations, the CHD cannot give you multiple choices of hotels, and will not disclose the names of the hotels till you confirm their booking. Hotels have been chosen because they meet a set of criteria and are found to be suitable for most of our members, but they may not suit all needs, hence you are advised to check beforehand on any specific requirements that you may have.

PLEASE NOTE THAT IS NOT THE PAYMENT FOR THE HOTEL ROOMS. ON MAKING THE PAYMENT OF RS 1501, THE CENTRAL HOTEL BOOK DESK WILL FACILITATE THE CHOICE & BOOKING OF HOTEL ROOMS. YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE HOTEL ROOMS DIRECTLY ON THE SPOT WHEN YOU CHECK IN AT THE RATES INFORMED TO YOU. IN SOME CASES, YOU MAY BE REQUESTED TO PAY AN ADVANCE TO THE HOTEL (OR AS REQUESTED BY CHD) ALSO. ONCE FIRM BOOKING IS MADE, YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO CHECK IN OR PAY THE COST OF THE BOOK NOT OCCUPIED. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE QUALITY OF THE HOTEL ROOMS OR REPRESENT THE HOTEL IN ANY WAY.

No, you cannot walk in & claim the rooms, the booking has to be made only through the CHD. Your Route Plan will have to be vetted by the CHD prior to initiating the hotel booking process. You are advised to seek the CHD's concurrence to your route plan & drive plan, and also subscribe to the paid route maps in the HVK App RoutO. You have to strictly comply with the requirements spelt out here, and non-compliance thereof will result in denial of any support by the CHD. While there is a reasonable probability that your room will be available, based on our counsel & prudent judgement, there can be no assurance on actually getting it.

When you Travel, We Travel with you – that is the mission in the HVK Forum. The CHD will be happy to help you during your drive, but these are purely out of the sense of belonging to the same community of motorists and not by any financial or commercial commitment. The CHD is headed by H V Kumar and does not have a organisation behind it, it is run entirely by H V Kumar with the help of volunteers who are devoting some of their personal & professional time to helping other motorists. While we will attempt to help you on a "best efforts basis", we cannot give you any assurances on quality of service and we have no proprietary interest or control over the hotels that we help arrange rooms in.
