Mera Peak Cancellation Policy

Due to the nature and heavy costs of government and operator permits, Alpine Ascents International must adhere to a stringent refund policy.

Each deposit, regardless of amount, includes a $300.00 non-refundable registration fee.

Refund Policy

• Full refunds, less the nonrefundable registration fee, will be provided for cancellations made 120-days prior to the expedition start date.
• 50% refunds, less the nonrefundable registration fee, will be provided for cancellations made 90-119 days prior to the expedition start date.
• No refunds will be provided for cancellations made 89-days prior to the expedition start date.
• All cancellation/refund requests must be made in writing and be received in our office within the deadlines stated above.

Trip Cancellation Insurance

We strongly recommend purchasing trip insurance. Even with the best planning, unexpected circumstances—such as an injury or family emergency—may prevent you from joining your trip.

Because Alpine Ascents’ cancellation policies apply regardless of the reason for cancellation, trip insurance is often your best option for recovering non-refundable trip costs if you need to cancel after the refund deadline.

Alpine Ascents International offers a plan in conjunction with our travel insurance partner linked below, however you are welcome to use whatever insurance provider you prefer.
