Terms and Conditions, Travel Insurance and Visa Information

Term and condition

1. If we fail to provide you the trip (completely or partially), due to unexpected circumstances such as flight cancellations by the airlines, snow, or landslide (situations beyond our control), we will offer you an alternative trip of a similar nature and value. If this doesn't fit your personal interest, we will refund you the money deducting expenses till that point of the trip. However, any extra expenses incurred to you due to this cancellation will be your own responsibility. For example, any extra cost due to a delay of flights in Lukla, other remote airstrips, will be your personal responsibility. It is always wise and recommended to keep one or two spare days for treks involving flights to and from remote regions.

2. All packages are based on twin sharing basis. Single accommodation will be an additional cost. 3. Our trekking guide reserves the right to expel members from the group if they do serious unlawful acts which endanger

themselves or others. 4. If you leave the trip on your own reason, whatever the reason be, once the trip starts no refund will be given for any unused

portion of the trip 5. Our trekking guide reserves the right to alter the route, walking durations and make other amendments for the safety and

interest of the group, especially due to weather conditions or in consideration of the health of a group member.

Travel Insurance

To be adequately protected in terms of insurance, you will need special travel insurance for participation in hazardous activities. A complete travel insurance policy that covers cancellation, lost baggage, theft, injury, liability, medical treatment, death and expenses is strongly recommended. Make sure the insurance covers all the activities that you will be undertaking during your stay in Nepal including trekking and climbing. If a client requires medical treatment, all hospital expenses, including doctors' fees and repatriation costs, are the client's responsibility.

If you are injured and unable to walk in a remote area, a rescue helicopter will be arranged. Annapurna foothills Treks has an agreement in Kathmandu that guarantees payment for helicopter evacuations. They will pay a cash deposit to the helicopter operator and collect the money from you once you have been rescued. Before leaving on the expedition, we will make sure your policy specifically covers mountaineering or alpinism otherwise you may have a difficult time settling the large claim.
