Trekking & Expedition Liability Waiver

Acknowledgement of risk

You understand that activities organised by Adventure Alternative Nepal — including trekking above 3,000 m, mountaineering, glacier travel, helicopter flight, and remote camping — involve risk of altitude sickness, frostbite, falls, avalanche, landslide, vehicular accident, illness, and death.

Your responsibilities

• Disclose all relevant medical conditions and medications before departure.
• Follow the directions of your lead guide regarding pace, acclimatisation, and turnaround times.
• Carry valid travel and high-altitude evacuation insurance (see Insurance Requirements).
• Refrain from independent climbing or off-itinerary travel without the guide's written consent.

Guide authority

Your lead guide has absolute authority to modify, shorten, or terminate the trip in the interest of safety. No refund is owed for such modifications, but every reasonable effort will be made to deliver an equivalent experience.

Release

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release Adventure Alternative Nepal Pvt. Ltd., its staff, guides, porters, and partners from claims arising from the inherent risks of the activities, except in cases of gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

Signature

You will be asked to sign a counterpart of this waiver in person at the pre-trip briefing in Kathmandu. Refusal to sign means the trip cannot proceed.
