1. Intro Briefing for 30 Mins – A detailed briefing of the group by the Chief Program Manager, who would be an advance mountaineer with at least 5+ years of delivering learning based adventure experiences. This briefing would be based on LD format (Lecture + Demo) and would be conducted for each activity that is part of the hunt.
2. Revision of critical points – When a student approaches to attempt, he/she would be briefed again by the Activity In-Charge for 30 seconds revising the critical aspects of the activity for the student
3. Attempt – The student starts her time attempt only after 30 mins of mandatory revision (that would later by consistently reduced from overall time). Idea would be to complete the activity safely to qualify for the hunt winner. A fully successful attempt would give 100 points to the student. Any misses in technique would attract negative markings.
4. Debrief – This is not just a game but a learning experience. Group members would be debriefed by the Chief Program Manager so that they can realize the true experiences that they have just had.

Membership & Loyalty program

Bikat Adventures has always believed in growing as a community of adventure enthusiasts and takes pride in the people who have been on expeditions with us. We believe in establishing a personal connect with all our participants and our secretly famous ‘After trek or expedition parties’ are a testimony to our Endeavour in this area. With Bikat Adventures growing by the day into a larger organization, we feel grateful towards this “Bikat Community” who has been a significant reason behind our success and growth. Here’s launching the Membership and Loyalty program targeted at the Bikat Community…

The purpose of this membership plan is not to lure you into something but just as a gesture of Thanks. Here are the questions that you need answers for:

Who is eligible for the memberships?

• If you booked at least 3 expeditions days* with us, then consider yourself eligible!

When you say days on expedition, Are all your events called expedition or is there any criteria for that?

• An expedition would be defined as any trekking, cycling, rock climbing, or mountaineering trip with a minimum duration of 3 days

How would the expedition days be counted? Would the travel time also be included?

• Expedition days would be counted from the standard itinerary published by Bikat Adventures’ website. In case there is additional travel involved to reach the starting point, then that would not be counted.

How many types of memberships do you have?

• The membership would be offered at 3 levels
  1. Basic (2 year) – With at least 3 expedition days under your belt, you get a free membership for a period of 2 years from the date of invitation
  2. Summiter (5 year) – A Basic level member with 12 more expedition days with us, can upgrade to a ‘Summiter’ level membership. Or if you have completed 15 expedition days with us and forgot to become Basic member, then also you can become a Summiter directly by applying afresh. As a Summiter, you get a free membership for a period of 5 years from the date of invitation.
  3. Leader (Lifetime) – A Summiter who completes 20 more expedition days with us, would be given a free lifetime membership.

What are the various benefits attached to memberships?

• The various benefits involve Inaugural Voucher, Regular Discounts, Power to Refer & win Vouchers, The benefits applicable to all the membership plans are similar but the validity/quantum may be different.

What is an Inaugural Voucher?

With every new invitation for membership, we give you a discount voucher worth INR 2000 (Inaugural Voucher) that can be redeemed in any of our expeditions within a period of 6 months from the date of completion of most recent expedition. The idea is to help more and more people in using this voucher without damaging parity between prompt and occasional users. So, the validity shall be extended whenever it expires with a deduction of 10% for another 6 months. Like this, the voucher actually never expires but incentivizes those who are frequent explorers.

The deduction would be 10% for every elapsed period of 6 months from last date of the most recently completed trek. For eg. In case your inaugural voucher worth INR 2000/- is expiring on 4th July 2016 and last time you completed a trek with us was from 1st January till 3rd January 2016, then the voucher would be extended with a deduction of 20% of the present value of the voucher i.e. INR 400/- and a new voucher worth INR 1600, valid till 3rd January 2017.

Please note that this extension policy is valid only for Inaugural vouchers and not for any other voucher whatsoever.

How do I Accumulate Discounts each time I trek?

• Every active member would get Bikat Vouchers worth certain %age of the expedition fee, every time he/she books an expedition with us. The vouchers are like cash back and we call them Booking Vouchers

Basic Member (10%)     ||    Summiter Member (15%)    ||    Leader Member (20%)

Please note that the booking vouchers, as explained above are, are generated on the amount paid by a member for him/herself. In case you are making a group booking from your ID, then you would get the booking voucher only for your own amount and not the others who are part of the booking.

Can I also gift or transfer a voucher to one of my friends?

• The vouchers can be redeemed by anyone having the voucher code. So, you can gift your vouchers to your friends or relatives who can use them for any of our expeditions. Just use the “Gift a voucher” tab on your dashboard.

How do I earn more using Referrals?

• You can refer friends or anyone for that matter. Use the “Refer a friend” tab on your dashboard to refer for any of our expeditions and get additional vouchers worth 10% of the Expedition fees.

Is there any condition for referrals?

• The only condition is that the people they are referring should not already be a member of Bikat Adventures community and the expedition that you are referring for should of minimum 3 days.

When would any voucher become active for me? At the time of booking or after the expedition?

• Except for Inaugural voucher, all other vouchers are activated immediately at the time of generation i.e. booking an expedition. However, Inaugural voucher would be activated only after the expedition is complete and the participant has finally been part of the team attempting the expedition.

How is longer validity at different levels of Membership a benefit?

• The longer the validity, the more vouchers you can accumulate to redeem on Bikat Expeditions.
