Official Guidelines & Terms

Booking, Cancellation & Refund Policies

Please review these conditions carefully before confirming your trek. These policies ensure transparent communication, team readiness, safety provisions, and fair cancellation terms for all high-altitude pilgrimages and Himalayan expeditions.

Confirmation Policy

  • The customer receives a confirmation voucher via email within 24 hours of successful booking and deposit verification.
  • In case the preferred departure slots or campsite capacities are unavailable, an alternate schedule of the customer’s preference will be arranged and a revised confirmation voucher will be dispatched via email.
  • Alternatively, the customer may choose to cancel their booking prior to formal schedule confirmation, in which case a full refund will be promptly processed.

Cancellation Policy

Critical Notice: The initial booking token / registration deposit amount is strictly non-refundable in all cases, as it is immediately committed to local forest permits, guide allocations, ration porters, and campsite reservations.

All cancellation requests must be formally submitted via email only to altitudeclimber.team@gmail.com by replying directly to your original payment receipt email. No cancellations or refund requests will be accepted via telephone calls or WhatsApp messages.
