This page has two parts. Part 1, Trip Terms, applies when you register for a BBE expedition, trek or course. Part 2, Website Terms, applies to your use of this website. Our Payment & Cancellation Policy and Privacy Policy are also available as separate pages.
Part 1 · Trip Terms
A 20% deposit reserves your place and includes a $350 nonrefundable booking fee. Your reservation is confirmed when we receive your deposit, your completed registration form, and your signed acceptance of our Payment & Cancellation Policy. The balance is due 120 days before departure; if you book within 120 days, full payment is due at booking. We accept wire transfer, bank transfer/ACH through our QuickBooks invoice (no fee), and credit card (3% surcharge). Everest and other major expeditions have their own terms, provided with your application. Full payment terms are in our Payment & Cancellation Policy.
You accept these Terms and our Payment & Cancellation Policy by checkbox or signature on the registration form.
All published prices are expressed in USD and may change without prior notice due to variations in permits, logistics, or currency costs.
Once your deposit is received, your trip cost is locked, except for changes imposed by third-party providers (e.g., park fees or government taxes).
Participation in any BBE Program requires signing the Participant Release of Liability and Assumption of Risk Agreement before the start of the trip.
No modifications to this document are allowed.
Failure to sign will result in the denial of participation, with no refund provided.

We always act in good faith to preserve the integrity of each expedition.
However:
All BBE expedition guides have full authority over route, schedule, and safety decisions.

No refunds will be issued, and the participant will be responsible for any additional evacuation or transport costs.
Participants must be in good physical health and adequately prepared for the altitude and demands of their chosen Program.
By registering, you affirm that:
BBE reserves the right to remove any participant whose condition or conduct compromises safety or the expedition’s success, without refund.

Trip Cancellation Insurance is strongly recommended.
BBE does not provide insurance coverage and is not responsible for costs related to evacuation, rescue, or trip interruption.
