Flexibility required:
Adventure is an unpredictable activity due to a variety
of reasons. So when on your adventure or culture we
would request you to be flexible and accommodating
in the event of landslides, road blocks, vehicle breakdown,
inclement weather and any other unexpected causes.
However we always strive to overcome any kind of obstacles
and provide the very best of services to the best
of our ability and seek immediate alternatives. So
when booking a trek or a tour with Himalayan Frontiers
we urge you to possess a spirit of adventure, a lot
of patience and the capacity for tolerance.
Fitness and acclimatization:
For all adventure trips at least light physical exercise
is required however no exercise is necessary for Jeep
Safaris and cultural tours in the mountains. As we
gain altitude slowly on most of our treks, safaris
and tours, acclimatization occurs naturally and for
most people the slow ascent to higher altitudes produces
negligible effects.
