DISCLAIMER & ITINERARY CHANGE NOTICE

At Mountain Adventure Travels, your safety is always our number one priority. We design each journey with care, but when traveling through mountain and remote regions (such as Pakistan, India, Nepal, Israel, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia and beyond), nature and local conditions can sometimes take us by surprise.

Events like heavy rain, snow, floods, landslides, glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), damaged roads, protests, or even flight cancellations may require last‑minute adjustments. In such cases, our expert guides will do their best to provide safe and enjoyable alternatives—whether that means rerouting, rescheduling, or modifying activities.
We kindly ask all guests to remain flexible and understand that these changes are beyond our control. Any additional costs (e.g. hotels, transport, or flight rebooking) are the traveler’s responsibility, and no refunds are possible for missed services. To travel with peace of mind, we strongly recommend comprehensive insurance that covers delays, cancellations, and natural events.

By participating in a tour with Mountain Adventure Travels, you consent to us photographing and filming group activities during the trip, and to the use of those group photos and videos on our social media, website, and promotional materials. Individual close-up photos or videos will not be posted without your additional permission.
