General Information

Risk

Our tours may by their very nature involve an element of risk for the traveler not normally associated to holiday packages. The client must accept these attendant risks and also be aware that safety standards of providers (hotels, tours, transports) are not of the same standard as in his/her home country. Due to political and cultural differences as well as generally tougher physical conditions, travel to many destinations we offer involve risks others than those we take in our daily lives. The client must be aware of this fact and should make his travel decisions accordingly.

Insurance

The traveler, together with all his personal belongings, is traveling on his own risk. It is therefore a booking condition that the traveler subscribes to a personal travel insurance covering personal accidents, medical expenses, air ambulance, loss or damage of effects, injury, personal liability, illness or death, cancellation of travel and interruption of stay.
IT IS COMPOLSORY THAT ALL TRAVELERS HAVE PERSONAL TRAVEL INSURANCE.

International Flights

ATH, Adventure Trans Himalayan Treks & Expedition Inc. does not include or sell international flights with its regular tours and is thus under no liability in respect of any matter howsoever arising with arrangements of international air transportation.

If a TAILOR MADE TOUR (customized tour) includes international and/or domestic flight(s) our responsibility is limited to providing the appropriate travel documents and accurate information and coordinate land transfers accordingly. The carrier remains first and unique responsible for the service provided and the conditions surrounding that service.

Photographing

Nepal is a paradise for photographers. It is said that even if one falls over and accidentally trips the shutter, the result will be photogenic. The changing landscape and the purity of the light, the charming villages and the glittering peaks all make a perfect framework for the informed eyes. One needs to think about three basic issues when considering trek photography: weight, versatility and reliability.
