Adventure Trips
On adventure trips, the locations may be in remote areas or in the wilderness. The events that may occur in these places are less predictable, the unexpected being the norm. Despite painstaking planning, such events cannot be taken for granted and there will be some element of risk-taking as we are dealing with natural and other elements. Some places do not have the same quality of emergency, health and safety services that we may be accustomed to owing to the lack of communications. Off Road travel may be uncomfortable and sometimes unreliable. This means that the itineraries planned should be seen as statements of intent, rather than contractual obligations.
Weather, transport difficulties and political instability might dictate that the itineraries be amended. The land agent or the Tour leader will make changes which are necessary and with or without consulting the participants. However the Company will do everything within our control to minimize the effects of the enforced changes. The Company cannot however be held responsible for the results of changes or delays, regardless of how they are caused. Participants are to be physical fit, properly attired and aware of the risk while on adventure trips and activities.
Force Majeure
All activities and itineraries are subject to change due to local weather and road conditions. Some area is sometimes difficult for us to drive in as it is controlled by the Lao Military and sometimes not open to foreigners riding motorcycles. Before we leave we make the appropriate checks and will re-tour itinerary to you before cross to Laos. In this event we will endeavor to amend the program as necessary with the intention of providing the best experience possible under the conditions at hand.
