Itinerary Disclaimer
While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission.
Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
Travel Insurance
Travel Insurance: Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a small group trip or Private group , you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by our Trip Leader , who will take note of your insurance details. Although where we travel is relatively safe, it's important that you cover yourself for the unexpected by arranging Travel Insurance before you go.
A Couple of Rules
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter, and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our Trip Leader have the right to expel any tour member if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.
Tipping
It is customary in Asia to tip service providers such as waiters, at approximately 10%, depending on the service. Tipping is expected - though not compulsory - and shows an expression of satisfaction with the people who have assisted you on your tour. Here is the recommendation of tipping when you come on our trips :
Local Expert and Driver wound range from $2-$3 USD per person per day
Trip Leader who will be with you 24/7 would range from $5 USD per person per day.
However , it is not customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels.
