Tour Guy Scammed me

HI, I booked a honeymoon trip to Manali from a local tours and travels vendor for 60K. he never sent any booking details even asking repeatedly. At last minute he cancelled the trip saying there is heavy snow. We asked him for refund he said he will. Now he is not picking calls nor replying to messages, its been 1 month. What can i do legally to get the money back?. My friends say for 60k its not worth the hassle to go to court, police and have a lawyer to get the money back as legal fees will become more than this. Is there anything i can do to get my hard earned money back. Is it that simple for someone to cheat and live freely in this country :'(
