Privacy Policy

Next Trail Travels ("we", "us", or "our") is a Skardu-based travel company planning premium, personalized journeys across Northern Pakistan. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website and booking channels, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

By using our website or booking a trip with us, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you have any questions, our team is happy to walk you through them directly.

We collect information you provide directly to us, along with limited technical information collected automatically when you visit our website.

We use the information we collect to plan and manage your trip and to keep our website and services running smoothly.

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support basic site functionality, understand how visitors use our pages, and remember your preferences.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Doing so may affect how some parts of the website function, but you'll still be able to reach us and browse our content.

We work with trusted local hotel, transport, and tour partners to deliver the trips we plan, and we share only the information necessary for them to fulfil your booking — such as your name, travel dates, and group size.

We may also rely on third-party tools for website analytics, email, or payment processing. Each of these providers handles information under its own privacy practices. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

When you submit a booking request through our contact form, WhatsApp, email, or phone, we ask for accurate trip details — such as destinations, travel dates, and the number of travelers — so we can plan and confirm your itinerary.

This information is used solely to coordinate your trip with our partner hotels, transport providers, and guides, and is retained only as long as needed to service your booking and meet reasonable recordkeeping needs.

Payments are typically arranged directly with our team via bank transfer or a mobile payment method common in Pakistan. We do not store full card details on our systems.

If a payment is ever processed through a third-party payment gateway, that transaction is subject to the provider's own security and privacy practices. Billing information you share with us is used only to confirm and reconcile your booking.

WhatsApp is our primary channel for booking inquiries and trip coordination, chosen for how quickly it lets our team respond. Messages exchanged with us over WhatsApp are also subject to WhatsApp's own privacy policy and encryption.

We use the information you share with us on WhatsApp only to respond to your inquiry and manage your booking, and we will not add your number to any third-party marketing list without your consent.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Access to booking and contact information is limited to team members who need it to plan and support your trip.

No method of storage or transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we encourage the same care on your end when sharing sensitive information online.

You can reach out to us at any time to review, correct, or request deletion of the personal information we hold about you. We'll respond to your request promptly, verifying your identity where needed to keep your information secure.

We review this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our services or how we operate. When we make changes, we update the "Last Updated" date shown at the top of this page.

We encourage you to check this page from time to time. Continued use of our website or services after an update means you accept the revised policy.
