Trekking & Adventure Activity Disclaimer

Trekking, hiking, camping and other outdoor activities involve inherent risks.

Depending on the destination and activity, these risks may include:

By participating in a trek or adventure activity, travellers acknowledge that such risks cannot be completely eliminated even when reasonable safety precautions are taken.

Participants are responsible for following safety instructions provided by their guide or trip leader.

Himalayan Weather Disclaimer

Weather in the Himalayas can change rapidly and unpredictably.

Rain, snowfall, thunderstorms, fog, high winds, landslides and other conditions can affect trekking routes, roads, transportation and planned activities.

Manu Adventures India may change a route, campsite, departure time or itinerary when our operations team or guides believe that doing so is necessary for traveller safety or operational reasons.

Safety considerations take priority over completing a particular route, summit, pass or itinerary.

Altitude Disclaimer

Some Manu Adventures India trekking and tour itineraries travel to high-altitude areas.

Travellers may experience symptoms related to altitude regardless of age, experience or fitness level.

Information about altitude and acclimatisation provided on our website is for general travel awareness and should not be considered medical advice.

Travellers with concerns about their ability to participate in a high-altitude trek should consult an appropriately qualified medical professional before travelling.

Health & Fitness Responsibility

Different treks require different levels of physical fitness, endurance and trekking experience.

Difficulty ratings published on our website are general guidelines. Individual experiences can vary depending on:

• Fitness

• Age

• Trekking experience

• Weather

• Trail conditions

• Altitude

• Personal health

• Backpack weight

• Walking speed

Travellers are responsible for assessing whether a particular trek or adventure is suitable for them.

If you have concerns regarding your health or fitness, you should seek appropriate professional medical advice before participating.

No Medical Advice

Information on our website relating to altitude, fitness, hydration, trekking preparation, first aid or health precautions is provided for general informational purposes only.

It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Travellers should consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional regarding medical conditions, medications, vaccinations or other health concerns before travelling.

Itinerary Changes

The itineraries displayed on our website represent the intended travel plan.

However, mountain and adventure travel requires flexibility.

Manu Adventures India reserves the right to modify an itinerary when reasonably necessary because of:

• Natural disasters

• Government restrictions

• Forest department regulations

• Local authority instructions

• Transportation delays

• Other circumstances beyond our reasonable control

Where possible, we will make reasonable efforts to provide an appropriate alternative.

Trek Completion & Summit Disclaimer

Booking a trek does not guarantee that a traveller will reach a particular summit, mountain pass, lake, glacier, campsite or other destination.

The final decision regarding whether to continue, modify or turn back may be made by the trek leader or guide based on weather, trail conditions, participant wellbeing and other safety considerations.

Travellers are expected to respect safety decisions made by the trip leader or guide.

We make reasonable efforts to display accurate pricing and availability.

However, prices may change because of changes in:

• Government taxes

• Permit fees

• Hotel rates

• Transportation costs

• Fuel prices

• Entrance fees

A price displayed on a webpage should not automatically be considered a confirmed booking price until the booking and applicable price have been confirmed by Manu Adventures India.

Any obvious typographical, technical or pricing error may be corrected.

Hotels & Accommodation

Hotel names, campsites and other accommodation mentioned in itineraries are subject to availability.

If a listed accommodation is unavailable, Manu Adventures India may arrange a suitable alternative wherever possible.

While we aim to work with reliable service providers, their services may be governed by their own terms, conditions and operating policies.

Manu Adventures India cannot control every action, delay, cancellation or service failure of an independent third-party provider.

Flights, Trains & Public Transport

Flight, train and other transportation schedules can change without notice.

Delays, cancellations, rescheduling and missed connections caused by airlines, railway operators, weather, government restrictions or other external circumstances are outside the direct control of Manu Adventures India.

Travellers should allow sufficient time between important travel connections.

Passport, Visa & Permit Requirements

International travellers are responsible for ensuring that they hold appropriate passports, visas and other travel documents required for their journey.

Certain trekking areas may also require permits or identification documents.

While Manu Adventures India may assist with relevant travel information or permit arrangements, travellers remain responsible for ensuring that their personal travel documentation is accurate and valid.

Photography & Website Images

Photographs and videos appearing on our website and social media channels are intended to represent destinations and travel experiences.

Actual scenery, snow conditions, vegetation, weather, accommodation and other conditions may differ depending on the season, weather and date of travel.

We do not control the content, security, availability or privacy practices of independent websites.

The inclusion of an external link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of all information, services or products offered by that website.

Visitors should review the relevant terms and privacy policies when using third-party websites.

Reviews & Testimonials

Reviews and testimonials displayed on our website or social media channels reflect the experiences and opinions of individual travellers.

Every journey is different.

We make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate and useful information across our website.

However, the website may occasionally contain:

• Typographical errors

We reserve the right to correct or update website information when an error is identified.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Manu Adventures India will not be responsible for losses or damages resulting solely from circumstances outside our reasonable control.

These may include severe weather, natural disasters, road closures, government actions, transportation disruption or independent third-party service failures.
