RISKS AND HAZARDS

On booking a trek with us you must be able to understand the risks and hazards which are involved in adventure trips. You must be physically and mentally prepared for the same. Any existing medical problems should be mentioned at the time of enquiry so that we can give the necessary guidance for a suitable trip.

MEDICAL EMERGENCIES

In the event of illness, accident, emergency medical evacuation either by foot, vehicle, helicopter or otherwise, the responsibility for the payment of such costs lies with the client and should be paid directly.

UNFORESEEN EVENTS

Rimo Expeditions will not be liable for consequences of weather conditions, flight cancellations, strikes, wars, riots or any untoward incidents. Any extra costs, such as hotel accommodation/flights, that result will be your responsibility and must be paid for directly at that time.

CANCELLATION

Should you wish to cancel; the following scale of charges will apply:

  • Cancellation 30 days to 2 months - 40% of trip cost
  • Cancellation 15-30 days before departure - 60% of trip cost
  • Cancellation 15 days before departure - 100% of trip cost

(For all the above sectors any domestic airfares will be refundable depending on the type of ticket purchased as some are non refundable tickets. Refundable tickets with a cancellation fee will be charged accordingly. For flights to Bhutan, a “No Refund” Policy applies)

CHANGE IN ITINERARY

Whilst every effort will be made to adhere to the planned itinerary, it must be realized that last minute or on the spot changes could occur with any kind of adventure travel. The unexpected may happen and adventure holidays unlike regular holidays cannot be taken for granted. Factors like weather, transport difficulty, political instability, changes in rules and policies may cause us to change the itinerary and the same will be informed to the clients should changes have to be made before trip departure. If changes occur once trip begins, the itinerary will be decided by the guide and will be in the best and safest interest of the clients.

Once a trip begins and should any one return early due to illness or any personal reason, no refund will be given for unutilized services and hotels. Any additional costs incurred due to deviation from the itinerary by the clients will be paid directly by them.
