Unfortunately, it is not possible to bring your dog on this tour.

Can I specify dietary preferences during booking?

You can note your dietary preferences during the booking, and we will forward your request to the accommodation. The extent to which the accommodation can accommodate specific dietary requests is beyond our control. We do not guarantee this, and it is not part of our package travel services. Please note that in remote regions or high-altitude huts, providing special dietary requests can be very challenging, and some requests may simply not be feasible.

These requests will automatically become confirmed bookings once the individual travel services are confirmed. Binding requests can only be made in writing or through the online booking system.

The cancellation must be made in writing. Cancellation is always subject to specific cancellation fees, which are staggered based on the time of cancellation.
