The Terms and Conditions set out by Go Trekking Nepal are designed to provide clarity and transparency for all clients engaging in our trekking services. These terms establish the legal and operational framework that governs the relationship between our company and our clients. They are in place to ensure that all participants understand their rights, responsibilities, and the policies that apply when booking a trek or adventure with us.
Trekking, especially in remote and challenging environments like the Himalayas, involves certain inherent risks. By clearly outlining our policies on booking, cancellations, insurance, and health requirements, we aim to protect both the company and our clients from unforeseen situations that could arise during the journey.
Our Terms and Conditions cover essential topics such as payment policies, insurance requirements, itinerary flexibility, and personal safety. These provisions are designed to:
- Ensure that our clients are well-prepared for their trek.
- Minimize potential misunderstandings or disputes.
- Provide legal protection and clarity in case of emergencies or unexpected changes.
The inclusion of policies related to **health, fitness, and travel insurance** ensures that clients are adequately prepared for the physical demands of trekking in high-altitude regions. Meanwhile, the sections on **itinerary changes and force majeure** reflect the unpredictable nature of mountain environments, where weather or other unforeseen events can impact the schedule.
In essence, these terms serve as a mutual agreement between Go Trekking Nepal and its clients, ensuring that every trek is conducted safely, fairly, and with a shared understanding of what to expect.
