Few important points to note before you
decide to register:
*Alcohol is strictly
prohibited on BMC events (Except when that event is party :).
Trekking is an activity where there are more than 50%
chances of facing uncertainty, as you see we always write "Tentative Schedule",
on treks, it's very difficult to make people walk with the speed we want. Also
because the vehicles we hire are not regular on route vehicles like KSTDC which
can guaranty us the time it takes to reach.
*Weather conditions, Wildlife movements,
permission changes are not in our hand, many times we are forced to change the
itinerary, distance or place. But if for some reason we cancel the event we
offer 100% refund to all the participants.
*All participants registering for the trek should
be trekkers! We have experienced few picnic crowd registering for Treks by
mistake (Crowd which demands Changing room, rest room, bedroom, shower, porters
etc.) We request not to register if you are not Ok to carry your own required
items, which includes: Your personal backpack, sleeping bags and common items
like food, tents etc distributed equally among the group.
*We are dependent on 3rd
party transport agency, we don't have direct control over a vehicle, vehicle
drivers. Rarely we face small issues with pickup and drop times or quality of
bus. If you are too specific please check back before registering.
*We can not guaranty availability of restrooms
where we do night camping. But for everybody's convenience, we try our best to
reach the place where people can freshen up.
While utilizing campsite all trekkers have to be
responsible for cleaning the place (after and before using).
*We expect every trekker to be humble towards
Nature, localities, and tribals.
We have designated pick up and drop points, make your
own arrangements of transports accordingly. It took more than 4 years for us to
make our departure on time, that was since we started leaving all late comers
behind in Bangalore.
*For cancellation of participation, we will pay your refund as per our
cancellation policy.
In
a case of damage or loss of any of the BMC equipment or property, the
responsible member has to bear the cost.
*There is no consideration, priorities, discounts
to even our close friends, but on times we reward participants with free or
discounted treks for their outstanding leadership/volunteers during treks.
All our events are built on Teamwork methodology. Our
coordinators' presence in the event is to lead the event, make sure that things
are going as per plan, schedule, safety. Also, its fun to pitch tents, collect
firewood from the forest, cook food etc.
*Trekking is a life skill of exploring the nature
in a natural way which gives you an experience of surviving in nowhere and with
nothing. Try to gain the maximum of that experience, test the limits of your
physic and mind.
*All our arrangements are very basic, we do not/can not provide luxury on such
events. Our accommodations are many times: Sleeping bags and Tents, Dormitories,
room with no beds and sometimes just sleeping bags under the glittering sky.
*To keep proper track of participants and keep
them updated time to time, we require each and every participant to read thru
these points and then register.
We do not have control over online registration head
count, on times we get many registrations than max head count, in that case, we
have to request last overbooked members to accept refunds or switch to another
trek.
*The laws of India shall apply and courts in Bangalore/Bengaluru shall have jurisdiction in respect of all the terms, conditions and disclaimers.
These are guideline/clarification points, our operation is much professional to attract thousands of enthusiasts :)
