Do know that travelers from some countries cannot get a Nepalese visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport? Obtaining your visa is entirely your responsibility.
You have to submit your complete and correct passport information to book a trip. We will use this information to obtain the necessary fees, permits, and tickets on your behalf so that you do not have to go through this lengthy government process after arriving in Kathmandu.
If you do not provide the correct information when you make your booking, we will not be able to make the necessary bookings on your behalf and cannot be held responsible.
Health & Fitness Requirement
All of our trekking and climbing packages demand some level of physical fitness. You have to be in good shape to join hiking, trekking, climbing, or mountaineering. Moreover, some of our packages also demand previous trekking/climbing experiences. To know more about necessary physical fitness, check the package's useful information section.
Before confirming any trip with the guest, we have a small assessment session where we ask about travelers' fitness, and previous experiences and suggest pre-departure fitness instructions. We will inform you about all the things that you can do to prepare yourself for the venture and increase your stamina, muscle power, and confidence.
If you suffer from any disease or have any allergies, we request you to inform us so that we can advise the best trip that will suit you and make all the necessary arrangements for you to have a safe trip.
We do not believe in limiting the trip because of health issues. We work around it and find the best alternatives. Because we have a traveler's soul!
*FYI: Most of our trekking, hiking, and climbing trips happen in the Himalayas, a place where no one can predict anything. Even with our best effort, things may take a turn. The region we travel to barely has any modern infrastructure, including hospitals, so we may have to air evacuate you in the worst case to offer you quick medical assistance.
Do know that medical and evacuation expenses are not covered by the company. Therefore, make sure your travel insurance has medical and airlift coverage.
We reserve the right to refuse any person the right to participate in a trip on medical or fitness grounds. If in doubt, we may be able to design a custom adventure not detrimental to your health.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is mandatory to join most of the treks and climbing ventures in the Himalayas. Your travel insurance must cover air evacuation, medical bills, illness, accidents, and death. We also recommend you add trip cancellation, flight cancellation, loss of personal baggage, and personal items to the travel insurance.
If your insurance company does not agree to pay the medical cost on your behalf, then all the expenses incurring medical bills and air evacuation must be paid in cash.
Make sure that your travel insurance covers activities in the Himalayas if you are participating in them.
*Note: Foreigners are not allowed to get travel insurance as per the insurance policy in Nepal. You have to get travel insurance in your country, and it is your responsibility to check whether your insurance policy is adequate or not.
Children
Underage trekking (below age 16) is possible, however, some extremely strenuous ventures may not allow it unless you match all the criteria. The trekkers must be accompanied by a legally identified guardian during the trip. If you have a question regarding age and suitability, please contact us for further information.
Publicity of Images and videos
The Company holds the right to use the image and videos taken by the individual during the trip without compensating them after signing the agreement. The photographs and video only be used for publicity and promotion purposes through whatever medium.
