Our adventures take you to remote parts of developing countries, where the physical and social conditions can be very unfamiliar and
unpredictable. Therefore, all our published routes & itineraries
must be seen as Statements of
Intent only. While every attempt
is made to have you reach your
objective safely, we may be
forced, at any time, to change
any route and/or itinerary. If you
can accept this unpredictability
as part of the Adventure
Experience you are seeking-as
1000s of people from all over the
world do, every year- then the
Himalaya is DEFINITELY for you!
If not, then perhaps you should
consider a more structured
holiday in a more developed
part of the world. So, please
read the Terms & Conditions of
the Booking Contract very
carefully and thoroughly. As it is
a legal contract between
yourself and AmaDablam
Adventures. Your signature on
the Booking Form is legal
confirmation of your
understanding and acceptance
of all the Terms and Conditions
contained in it.

By my signature on the Booking Form, I acknowledge
and confirm the following: TO: AmaDablam Adventure
Group (AAG) and the various Land Management
Authorities who grant the license to operate this
adventure trip (the Licensors) In consideration of AAG
accepting my application for and permitting me to go
on the adventure trip in land owned by the Licensor or
elsewhere- I agree to this release of claim, waiver of
liability and assumption of risk collectively, as set out in
this Contract.
I waive any and all claims I may now and in the future
have against, and release from all liability and agree
not to sue, AAG, its service agents, independent
contractors, officers, employees, guides, agents or
representatives (collectively its staff) or the Licensor
for any personal injury, death, property damage or loss
I may sustain as a result of participation in a adventure
trip with AAG, irrespective of cause, including without
any limitation, negligence on the part of AAG, its staff
or Licensor.
I am aware that adventure trips have certain dangers
and risks, additional to those inherent in any travel,
which include:
Physical exertion for which I may not be prepared.
Weather extremes subject to sudden, unexpected
change. Remoteness from normal medical services.
Evacuation and its relative difficulties if I am disabled.
I accept all the inherent risks of the proposed
adventure trip and the possibility of personal injury,
death, property damage or loss resulting therefrom.
I acknowledge that the enjoyment and excitement of
adventure travel is derived in part from the risks
inherent in travel and activity beyond the accepted
safety of life at home or work and that these contribute
to such enjoyment and excitement, and are a reason
for my participation.
I agree that if I suffer injury or illness, AAG can, at my
cost, arrange medical treatment and emergency
evacuation service, as they deem essential for my
safety. In entering into this Agreement, I am not relying
on any oral, written or visual representatives or
statements by AAG or its Staff or any other
inducement or coercion to go on the adventure trip, but
entirely of my own free will.
