Terms & Conditions

Namaste and a warm welcome from Sherpa Discovery Treks! You are planning to travel with us into the Himalayan Mountains, and we are grateful. Before making the magic happen on the trails, we ask you to take a few minutes to analyze the necessary information that ensures a perfect operation.

These terms and conditions are designed to capture the understanding achieved between you (the traveler) and us (Sherpa Discovery Treks) regarding orders, responsibilities, and your experience with us. Think of this as not elaborate legal definitions, but a friendly covenant that represents balance, protection, and openness.

The Agreement Trailhead

By visiting our site, making an order, or participating in any service we offer, you agree to be bound by these terms. Should something feel off, friendly now to contact us or postpone confirming orders until every detail is clarified.

Booking Your Adventure

The Process of Booking

To finalize your unforgettable Himalayan adventure, we kindly ask for some important information: name, telephone number, any relevant health problems, and an emergency contact. Remember, we need to get this information right. By providing information, you are attesting that you are fit, both mentally and physically, to head on these adventures.

Payment Procedure

For you to secure a trip, a deposit or full payment is needed. Reservations can be paid through bank transfers or secure online payments, which we accept. After receiving payment, we’ll send confirmation via email.

Cancellation Compass

In case trip plans change, we allow cancellations based on our cancellation policy.

  • Canceling over 30 days in advance will incur a small refund of the admin fee. Between 15 and 30 days, there is a 50% refund of the total trip cost for cancellations.
  • Under 15 days for cancellations, we can no longer provide a refund.
  • Trip cancellations need to be submitted in writing; however, rescheduling is an option we are willing to discuss.

Altering your destination

Like to change your destination? No problem- for the best results, contact us as soon as you can. All changes can incur a small fee plus an availability check.

Medical And Fitness Preparedness

All our routes offer a variety of trails, ranging from easy to demanding. Some routes require great endurance when climbing to high altitudes. If you are booking with us, any medical issues, surgeries, or other specific needs must be disclosed. For strenuous treks, we may ask for medical fitness certificates.

Be informed that we can withdraw your participation if we deem you unfit for the trek due to safety issues. In those cases, refund policies may not be applicable.

Responsibility & Liability

The Risk of the Wild

The breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas most certainly come at a cost. There are various risks to consider, such as altitude sickness, harsh weather changes, and natural obstructions. Joining us means you are accepting these inevitable risks.

During your journey, which includes travel to and from your trekking location, accommodations, and side activities, Sherpa Discovery Treks and its team will not be liable for any personal injuries, accidents, property loss, or other unforeseen incidents.

Insurance Is Essential

Travelers are advised to purchase comprehensive travel insurance that covers trip cancellation, medical expenses, evacuation, and lost baggage. We do not offer support for costs due to delays, cancellations, or medical emergencies.

On the Trail: Principles of Behavior

The First Rule of Respect

Respect for travelers, local culture, and the environment is paramount. Adhere to the instructions given by the guide, as your safety and the well-being of the group rely on it. The group will be immediately removed from a disrespectful environment, culturally damaging actions, or environmentally damaging acts.

Drugs & Alcohol

We aim to uplift your spirit using nature rather than substances. During the trek, the use of illegal drugs and excessive alcohol consumption is strictly prohibited. Offenders may be eliminated from the trip without a refund.

Changes to Itineraries

We, along with participants, are bound to our itineraries. Unfortunately, Mother Nature can offer some trouble, so we reserve the right to change, postpone, or cancel any particular trek because of:

  • Natural disasters
  • Political instability
  • Weather interruptions
  • Illness or emergencies involving members of the group
  • Other safety or operational concerns

If any of the changes specified above are performed, we shall make every possible effort to give you options, date changes, or a partial refund tailored to the situation.

Protecting Your Privacy

Trust is the foundation of any business relationship. Medical and dietary information that you share with us will, like all other personal information, remain strictly confidential and safeguarded according to our Privacy Policy. Information is never provided for other businesses to exploit.

Scraps such as blogs, photos, and videos are part of Sherpa Discovery Treks, and so is every bit of content on the website. Without written permission, none of it can be reproduced or copied.

Force Majeure

If Sherpa Discovery Trek’s guidelines are followed, no responsibility is accepted for delays, cancellations, or disruptions related to external forces, including but not limited to:

  • Natural accidents (earthquakes, floods, etc.)
  • Government decisions, strikes, or travel bans
  • Epidemics or pandemics
  • War, riots, or political unrest

In such circumstances, we will strive to arrive at reasonable outcomes; however, this will not allow us to take responsibility for damages that do not fall within our provisions.

Since Sherpa Discovery Treks is registered in Nepal, these concepts are subject to the legal jurisdiction of Nepal. When it comes to conflict, the parties will try to solve it first in an amicable way, then through mediation or arbitration in Kathmandu.

Updates and Revisions

We reserve the right to amend these Terms and Conditions. The most current version will be published on our site and will be effective for all new bookings and services.
