Terms of use

FindTrekkingPartner 이용 규칙.

These terms govern your use of FindTrekkingPartner. By creating an account you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

1. What FindTrekkingPartner is

FindTrekkingPartner is a free platform that helps trekkers find partners and plan treks in Nepal. We do not organise treks, act as a trekking agency, verify users' identities or experience, or collect, hold or transfer money. Cost estimates, permit fees and itineraries are for planning only and may be out of date.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding agreement. One account per person.

3. Your responsibilities

You are solely responsible for:

  • your own safety and decisions, including whom you meet and trek with;
  • obtaining the correct permits, visas and insurance, including rescue insurance;
  • hiring licensed guides and registered agencies where required: since April 2023 foreign trekkers need a licensed guide in national parks and conservation areas, and in restricted areas a licensed guide through a registered agency is part of the permit (a single trekker is reported to be able to apply since 22 March 2026, but the guide and agency are still required; confirm with your agency). Follow the guide rule even where checkpoints do not check it;
  • any agreements, payments or disputes with other users, guides, agencies or transport providers.

4. Acceptable use

You agree to follow our Community rules. In particular, you must not:

  • give false information about yourself or your experience;
  • use the platform to promote commercial services, except a guided departure by an approved guide (see below);
  • request money from other users;
  • harass, threaten, impersonate or discriminate against anyone;
  • post illegal, unsafe or misleading plans, including trekking without required permits or guides;
  • scrape, spam or attempt to break the service or its security.

Guided departures by approved guides. A guided departure is a trip led by a licensed guide or registered agency whose application we have reviewed and approved (the licence details are checked by our admins and never shown publicly). It is marked "Guided departure · approved guide" and may show a price per person. It is the only commercial offer allowed on the platform. Everything else in this section still applies: no ads in chats or profiles, no requests for money through the platform, no contact outside the platform before a join request is accepted. We take no payment or commission and are not a party to any booking; the price and booking are agreed directly between guide and trekker. Approval is not an endorsement or a guarantee of quality or safety. We may remove the badge or the departure if these terms are broken.

5. Content

You keep ownership of what you post. You give us a licence to host and display it so the service can work. We may remove content that breaks these terms or the community rules.

6. Suspension and termination

We may warn, suspend or ban accounts that break these terms, at our discretion. You can delete your account at any time in Settings.

7. Reviews and map data

Reviews you post about a point of interest are your own opinion, not a verified fact. You must not post fake, paid or incentivised reviews. We may hide or remove a review that breaks these terms, the Community rules, or receives enough reports. Route maps, elevation profiles, GPX tracks and points of interest are provided to help you plan, not for real-time navigation — they may be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, so always carry a proper map, a GPS device and local guidance when trekking. Our itinerary planning tool suggests routes using automatic routing over public map data; distances, times, elevation figures and suggested stops are estimates, not verified facts, and may be wrong. Contact details (phone numbers, websites) shown for a point of interest may be out of date, and an "Open in Google Maps" link takes you to a third-party site outside our control.

8. Disclaimers

The service is provided "as is". We do not guarantee that other users are who they say they are, that information on the site is accurate or current, or that the service will always be available. Trekking in the Himalaya carries real risks, including altitude sickness, injury and death.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, FindTrekkingPartner and its team are not liable for any injury, loss, damage or cost arising from your use of the platform, your treks, or your dealings with other users or third parties.

10. Language

These terms may be translated for convenience. The English version is the binding version; if a translation differs, the English text applies.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Nepal, and disputes are subject to the courts of Kathmandu, Nepal.

12. Changes and contact

We may update these terms and will post changes here. Questions: hello@findtrekkingpartner.com.
