Assumption of Risk & Safety Declaration

Mountaineering is an activity with inherent risks, including but not limited to slips, getting lost, rockfalls, hypothermia, and acute illness. By registering for this tour, you acknowledge and accept all associated risks.

If, during the activity, the team leader determines that a participant's psychological, physical, or fitness condition, or their equipment, poses a safety risk to themselves or the group, the leader reserves the right to terminate their participation immediately and unconditionally. The participant will be escorted to a safe location to await return transport. All subsequent transportation and related expenses will be the sole responsibility of the participant. The unfinished portion of the tour will be considered forfeited, and no refund will be issued.

⚠ Trip Regulations & National Park Guidelines

Team Safety & Itinerary Adjustments

The entire trek is led by experienced team leaders and guides. All participants are required to stay with the group at all times and are strictly prohibited from separating from the team to act independently.

In the event of unforeseen circumstances such as earthquakes, rockfalls, severe weather, or trail collapse, the team leader reserves the right to alter the itinerary or order a retreat for safety reasons. All participants must comply with such decisions unconditionally and without objection.

Should any participant encounter a life-threatening situation, all other team members are obligated to cooperate with emergency procedures and provide assistance. Mountaineering is an activity of shared risk, and all participants share a collective responsibility for the group's safety and welfare.

Prohibitions within Taroko National Park

To ensure environmental protection and public safety, all participants must adhere to the following regulations. Violations may result in legal penalties and/or immediate dismissal from the tour:

Littering of any kind, including food scraps, fruit peels, and toilet paper, is strictly prohibited. (Participants must carry a sealable bag to pack out all personal trash).

Open fires, barbecues, fireworks, pitching tents, and unauthorized cooking are strictly forbidden.

Picking or damaging flora, digging soil or rocks, feeding wildlife, or discarding plastic waste is prohibited.

Entering restricted areas or straying from marked trails is forbidden.

Playing music, making loud noises, displaying banners or signs, or erecting memorials is prohibited.

Environmental & Conservation Ethics

Adhere to the principle of "Leave No Trace." All personal trash, including food scraps, toilet paper, and fruit peels, must be packed out. Respect the natural environment and indigenous cultures by not defacing property, creating excessive noise, or leaving any marks behind.

The use of reusable water bottles and utensils is strongly encouraged to reduce plastic and single-use waste.

Personal Responsibility & Cooperation

Participants are responsible for their own well-being. Any accident or injury resulting from personal negligence (e.g., failure to report a physical ailment, inattention, slipping) cannot be attributed to the team leader or the organizing company.

While our guides will make every effort to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants, you are ultimately responsible for your own personal equipment and safety. All participants are required to respect the group's pace and follow the instructions of the team leader at all times.
