What happens if I need to cancel my trip?

In case you wish to cancel your activity please e-mail us. To Know more in details please refer our cancellation and refund policies in links.

How many people are expected to join a tour?

We keep our group sizes low so you have the freedom to move around and get involved with your surroundings, as well as more personal attention from our local guides. This intimate size ensures that your group will not crowd your experience. You can expect up to 15 travellers on a trip but the average is 10. Check individual trip pages for maximum group sizes.

What if in case of any emergency situation, how me and other people will be rescued?

In case of any possible emergency situation Adventura will be making arrangements for you to reach the nearest road and stay from where further rescue can be carried. Here it should be understood that Adventura is not liable to pay for any expenses during rescue activity if you are sent down. Only you will be solely responsible for bearing all the expenses of the whole rescue activity before or later. Adventura is not liable to pay for the expenses in rescue activity if you are sent down.

Evacuation or dealing with emergencies is extremely difficult in the mountains. It is time-consuming as well. A normal trek of 2 hours may take 6 hours in an emergency (a sick person is not easy to evacuate). Doctors do not go along with a team. Doctors are not available at the base camp or nearest road head either. Adventura leaders are trained to administer first aid and know how to deal with issues related to the mountains. However, they are not doctors.

Registering for the activity is an understanding that you have read up on the difficulties of River rafting, Mountain Cycling and high altitude trekking and understand the risks. You have also understood what is Hypotermia, Spinal Injuries, AMS, HAPE and HACE are. You have taken efforts to educate yourself and you are in a position to manage your own adventure related emergency.

What is the fitness level required for the activities and how hard are the activities?

It is very essential to have a little bit of fitness regime in you. A half and hour jogging approx for a week before the start of the adventure is all you need to try any of our adventure related activity. Most of our activity are moderate.
