Refund
What happens in case Advenchar has to cancel the adventure activity/event?
Advenchar reserves the right to cancel your booking or change the service described on our website, or brochure. We work hard on updating and intimating the information to all our participants and may have to make minor changes occasionally.
However, in the field of adventure, several variable factors are out of our control like landslides, floods, weather conditions, road conditions, and such. In such cases, we may have to cancel the adventure activity, and you will have two options:
Please note the following:
What if we have to change/cancel an adventure activity after departure?
Due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances and reasons beyond our control (including, but not limited to, political disturbance, war, weather conditions, riots, any natural or man-made disaster, pandemic, epidemic, health risks, mechanical problems with transport), we may sometimes have to change/cancel the adventure activity. In such a case, Advenchar is not liable to pay any refund.
If the change/cancellation arises otherwise, Advenchar will always try to make alternative suitable arrangements for participants. However, if you reject those arrangements, you will be safely dropped at your point of departure, and Advenchar will provide a voucher refund for any unused services, as deemed appropriate.
What if you choose to drop out of the adventure activity?
Advenchar will not be liable to make any refund in a situation where a participant voluntarily drops out of the activity or the event. However, the participant will have to pay additional for the unplanned expenses on the actual cost basis to prepare and execute the participant’s retreat.
What happens in case of an emergency evacuation?
While we do have first aid and experts available for all our activities and events, there might be unplanned events and situations which demand an emergency evacuation of the participants. In case of an emergency, we are committed to making a safe evacuation for you. We will make appropriate and adequate arrangements for your evacuation to the nearest road head which is well connected by road, and would also assist you in boarding a passenger vehicle to the nearest hospital or any other facility that you so require. Any extra costs incurred, such as porters, transport, ambulances, hospitalization, or any other expenses incurred for evacuation, will be borne by the individual participant.
What is the authority of your Trek Leader/Expedition Leader?
The leader of the adventure activity or event represents Advenchar and it’s necessary that, in any event, you abide by the authority of the leader. The leader reserves the right to refuse continued participation in the adventure activity to any person if they judge the participant to be incapable of meeting the rigors and requirements of participation. If you commit any illegal act during the event or activity, or If, within the reasonable opinion of the leader or other person in charge, your actions or behavior is disruptive, threatening, or abusive, causes unnecessary inconvenience, or is probably going to cause damage to property, danger, distress or upset, disturbance or annoyance to others, or puts the other traveler or our staff at any risk or danger, on the telephone, in writing or person, we may terminate your travel arrangements without any obligation or liability on our part. In any of these cases, no refunds or compensation are paid to you, and that we won’t be liable for any costs or expenses incurred by you.
What if I lose or damage any equipment gear/equipment provided to me by Advenchar?
You will be responsible to pay for the damage or loss of the personal equipment and group equipment and gear issued to you by Advenchar or any staff associated with Advenchar.
Respecting Local Laws and Customs
We come from different parts of the world, and the places we visit can be very different from those we are used to. You are required to be mindful of your actions and behavior to ensure that they do not offend anyone, especially if you are visiting religious places. It is your duty and responsibility to become familiar with local laws and customs and appreciate them. If you fail to do so, we will not be liable to you for any expense, loss, or harm you have caused, nor will we reimburse you for any unused portion of your travel arrangements.
Medical disclosure
Any person suffering from mobility impairment, disease, or disability or receiving treatment for any physical or mental condition must, at the time of booking, announce the true nature of such condition and make arrangements for the provision of any medication or other care that may be needed during the adventure activity. Failure to make such a declaration would constitute a violation of these booking conditions which will result in those individuals being disqualified from the event in which case the amount paid for the adventure activity would be forfeited. You can contact us if you would like to get more information or any clarifications.
Road journey and travel
For expeditions involving road journeys and transport, the participants are recommended to take the utmost care of road safety rules and requirements. Any indiscipline concerning road safety or risky riding/driving by the participant can force our team to restrict/suspend/terminate the ride/drive of the participant.

Advenchar has taken consideration to guarantee that our Participants experience a rewarding mountaineering adventure. We wish to educate our members that mountaineering and outdoor trekking experiences are not risk-free. The same elements which contribute to the unique character and fun of exploring and climbing mountains, such as physical activities or living outdoors can result in loss of or damage to equipment, injury, illness, or, in serious cases, permanent trauma, paralysis, or death. We do not want to heighten or minimize your excitement for training, but we do want you to know in advance what to expect and to be aware of some of the potential risks.
