All guests are required to present a valid passport at check-in or, in certain cases, prior to arrival at the Lodge.
Guests are strongly encouraged to purchase Travel Disruption Insurance to protect against unforeseen events. This coverage can be arranged through Global Rescue (https://www.globalrescue.com/). Additionally, we highly recommend that guests secure Medical Evacuation Insurance from companies such as Global Rescue and others prior to their trip and bring a copy of their policy to the lodge. This ensures preparedness in the event of a medical emergency requiring evacuation.
Please note that obtaining appropriate insurance is the sole responsibility of the guest.
Guests will be held responsible for any damage caused to equipment, rental items, buildings, or other Lodge property that exceeds normal wear and tear. The cost of repair or replacement for damaged items will be charged to the guest. In cases where an item is lost, the guest will be charged the full replacement cost. By staying with us, guests agree not to dispute charges associated with damage, loss, or destruction of Lodge property.
