Simple promise

We collect only the information reasonably needed to respond to your enquiry, process bookings, improve user experience, and provide support. We do not trade your personal data as a product.

Section 01

Information we collect

We may collect personal information when you fill out enquiry forms, request a callback, contact us through phone, email, or WhatsApp, subscribe to updates, or make a booking for any trek, trip, transport, or travel-related service. The exact type of information collected depends on the type of interaction.

This may include your full name, phone number, email address, destination interest, preferred travel dates, number of travellers, and any message or special requirement you choose to share with us. In booking-related situations, we may also receive travel identity details, payment-related references, and operational information needed to deliver the requested service smoothly.

Personal information

Examples include your name, mobile number, email address, city, travel interest, traveller count, and booking-related communication details.

Technical information

Examples include browser type, device information, pages visited, access timing, referral source, approximate location signals, and anonymized analytics information.

We only ask for data that is reasonably connected to support, booking, communication, site improvement, or service delivery.

Section 02

How we use your information

We use the information collected to respond to enquiries, assist with trip planning, process reservations, coordinate travel operations, provide customer support, send important updates, and improve the performance and usability of our website. In some situations, your details may also be used to confirm availability, discuss package suitability, handle pre-booking questions, or follow up regarding a request you initiated.

When information may be shared

We do not sell personal information as a standalone asset. However, information may be shared when reasonably necessary to provide the service you requested or to run essential business operations. This can include verified travel partners, transport providers, accommodation partners, payment processors, website tools, customer support systems, analytics services, or lawful authorities where disclosure is legally required.

Operational sharing

  • Hotel, transport, guide, or vendor coordination when required for your trip.
  • Payment or invoicing partners for transaction handling and accounting records.

Legal or safety sharing

  • When required under applicable law, legal process, or official request.

Section 05

How we protect your information

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational steps to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, accidental disclosure, or loss. This may include access controls, secure tools, trusted third-party systems, limited role-based access, and periodic monitoring of our website environment.

While no website, network, or communication channel can be guaranteed as absolutely risk-free, we work to keep data handling proportionate, secure, and operationally responsible.

Internal protection

Access to personal information is limited to individuals or teams who need it for enquiry handling, customer support, booking operations, or legitimate administrative work.

System-level protection

We aim to use secure platforms, sensible account controls, and standard protective practices to reduce avoidable data exposure risks.

Section 06

How long we retain information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably required to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, including enquiry follow-up, booking execution, record-keeping, customer support, business administration, fraud-prevention, dispute handling, and compliance with applicable legal, tax, or accounting obligations.

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods depending on whether the data relates to a general enquiry, a completed booking, an ongoing support issue, or a legal or regulatory requirement.

Once information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete it, anonymize it, or securely stop using it except where retention is required by law or legitimate business need.

Section 07

Your choices and rights

Subject to applicable law and the practical limits of operational record-keeping, you may request access to the personal information you have shared with us, ask for corrections where information is inaccurate, request deletion where appropriate, or ask us to stop sending promotional communication.

You may ask what personal information you have submitted to us through direct interaction channels.
You may request correction of inaccurate or outdated contact details.
You may request deletion where retention is no longer necessary and legal obligations do not require us to keep the data.
You may opt out of promotional or marketing communication at any time.

Updates to this Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, enquiry systems, booking processes, third-party tools, operational requirements, or applicable legal expectations. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date wherever appropriate.
