Domestic flight delay/Cancellation:

Flight delays or cancellations are common in mountainous regions due to adverse weather conditions and limited visibility. If such situations arise, please understand that we are not responsible for any additional expenses or inconveniences you may encounter.

As mountain weather is quite unpredictable, we strongly recommend that you plan your trip with at least 1 or 2 extra days, especially for treks in the Everest/Annapurna/Manaslu region. This precaution ensures you won’t miss your international flight due to potential delays.

Changes to your trip and pricing due to unforeseen events:

If your trip needs to be canceled or altered due to unexpected situations like natural disasters or flight delays, we will arrange an alternative trip for you that has the same value as the one you originally booked. You also have the option to reschedule the trip.

When rescheduling your trip, whether it’s of the same value or a higher value, you will need to cover the cost of the services you’ve already used from your initial booking. Additionally, if the price for the rescheduled departure is higher, you’ll need to pay the difference between the new and old prices.

The majority of our trip packages are based on double occupancy. If you do not have another participant to share accommodation with, a single room supplement will apply. You will be informed about this additional charge at the time of booking.

One Globe Travel reserves the right to change the trip price at any time mentioned in our marketing materials.
