5. Cancellation by Wandrcrew
Wandrcrew reserves the right to cancel, postpone, modify, or discontinue a trek or trip due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather conditions, political unrest, government restrictions, safety concerns, or other operational emergencies.
- Cancellation before departure

- Cancellation after the trip has commenced
- If a trip has already commenced and is cancelled or interrupted due to natural calamities, political situations, government orders, weather conditions, or other circumstances beyond Wandrcrew's control, no refund will be guaranteed for the unused portion of the trip.
- Insufficient participation
- If a trek or trip is cancelled because the minimum required number of participants has not been reached, participants may transfer their booking to another suitable event or receive a full refund of the eligible amount.
- Transportation issues
- If a trip is affected by train, bus, airline, or other transportation-related problems, Wandrcrew will make reasonable efforts to arrange an alternative. Any refund, if applicable, will depend on the actual expenses, non-refundable bookings, and charges already incurred.
- Medical or emergency situations
- Where a trip is cancelled or affected due to a medical emergency, COVID-related circumstances, or another emergency, the applicable refund or transfer will be determined according to the circumstances and the relevant cancellation terms.
