On adventure trips of this type, weather, local politics, transport or a multitude of other factors beyond our control can result in a change of itinerary. Meanwhile we take the full responsibility for all the groups we handle on behalf our government registered company, however, very unlikely that the itinerary would be substantially altered; if alterations are necessary the leader will decide what is the best alternative, taking into consideration the best interests of the whole group. Where a change does occur, we do everything we can to minimize its effect, but we cannot be responsible for the results of changes or delays
