Trekking and adventure activities in the Himalayas inherently involve risk, including but not limited to weather changes, altitude sickness, and natural hazards. While Himalayan Buff takes every precaution to minimize risks and ensure safety, you acknowledge these dangers and participate at your own responsibility.
Images and visuals used on our website and social media are for promotional purposes only. They do not guarantee the same experience or sightings during your trek.
Different treks require varying levels of physical and mental fitness. It is your responsibility to assess your capability before joining. While no specialized training is needed for most treks, being in good health improves your experience. You must disclose any physical or medical condition at the time of booking. Failing to do so may result in your removal from the trek without refund.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that all necessary documentation (such as ID, permits, and forms) is completed and submitted before departure. Himalayan Buff is not liable for any trip disruption due to missing or incorrect documents.
Although we strive to follow the planned itinerary, we reserve the right to alter or cancel parts of the trip due to unforeseen events like roadblocks, weather, or political unrest. Any additional expenses resulting from such changes must be borne by you.
No refunds will be provided for unused services or voluntary departure during the trip. If a trek is cancelled by Himalayan Buff due to unavoidable circumstances, we may offer an alternative trip, a transferable voucher valid for one year, or a refund according to our cancellation policy. Costs related to transport, visas, or other third-party services are non-refundable.
All official communication will be conducted via the email address provided in your registration. We are not responsible for issues caused by incorrect email IDs or failure to update contact information.
You are responsible for your personal belongings throughout the trek. Himalayan Buff does not accept liability for lost, stolen, or damaged items, including luggage and documents.
Respectful, cooperative behavior is expected throughout the trip. We reserve the right to remove any participant whose actions disrupt the group or pose a risk. Decisions made by our trek leaders regarding safety and conduct are final.
Conditions in remote Himalayan regions may not meet urban standards. Weather, terrain, and infrastructure may affect your experience. Flexibility and a spirit of adventure are essential.
Unless specified, the cost of insurance, airfare, personal expenses, excess baggage, tips, and optional activities are not included in the trek package. Refer to the itinerary for detailed inclusions.
By registering, you accept all risks associated with adventure travel. You release Himalayan Buff from any claims resulting from personal injury, loss, or death. You are responsible for familiarizing yourself with the local culture, laws, and conditions of your destination.
In case of illness or injury, you are responsible for all related costs, including hospitalization, evacuation, and repatriation.
We collaborate with third-party providers such as porters, transporters, and accommodation partners. While we select these providers carefully, we are not liable for any deficiencies in their services.
By participating in a trek, you grant Himalayan Buff the right to use photos and videos featuring you for marketing purposes without requiring additional permission or compensation. If you wish to opt out, inform us in writing at the time of booking.
