Terms & conditions

Booking conditions and our mutual obligations on trek.

Last updated: 13 May 2026

Booking & deposit

Bookings are confirmed once a 25% deposit is received. The balance is due 30 days before departure. For bookings made within 30 days of departure, full payment is required at booking.

Cancellation policy

  • 30+ days before departure: Full refund minus a $50 processing fee.
  • 14 – 29 days: 50% refund.
  • Under 14 days: No cash refund — we will always try to credit toward a future trek within 24 months.
  • No-show on departure day: No refund.

Travel insurance

You must hold travel insurance covering high-altitude trekking to your trek's maximum elevation, plus helicopter evacuation. We will not start a trek without proof of insurance.

Force majeure

We are not liable for trip disruption caused by events outside our control: weather, natural disasters, political unrest, government decisions, or airline cancellations. We will do our utmost to reroute or reschedule.

Health & fitness

You agree to disclose any medical conditions that may affect your trek before booking. Our lead guide has final authority on safety decisions, including the authority to descend a trekker showing signs of altitude sickness.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Nepal. Disputes will be settled in Kathmandu District Court.
