The itinerary, highlights and excursions as set out in the itinerary,s will be adhered to as far as possible, but these are to be used as a guide only. The company or trek staff may make omissions or alterations to the itinerary, highlights, and excursions as they deem it to be necessary. Some highlights or excursions may be inaccessible for any number of reasons.

If you are delayed by bad weather at the end of the trek we will meet your accommodation and food costs for the basic tour dates.
