Tour and Trip Alteration: Changes in program may occur due to bad weather conditions and guests are requested to be flexible when safety factors prevail. If major changes are necessary while the tour is in progress, the additional costs, if any, are the responsibility of the traveler.
Sometimes guests may be invited to join interesting local events. Such unexpected changes actually enhance the program, as guests get a more authentic insight of local life.
Physical exertion: Generally there is no extreme physical exercise required, but sometimes we walk over hills or cross on wet terrain. You should be able to complete walks of a few hours duration so a reasonable level of fitness is required. You should meet the schedule of the tour each day, but if you feel tired you can stay at the guest house instead of walking.
Packing for your trip and seasonal climate: Take only one main piece of baggage and a knapsack (daysac). Don’t overload yourself, as you are expected to carry your own luggage. Comfortable walking boots are essential for tracking, and trainers/sandals for general travel. Temperature vary, being influenced by the physical features of the Carpathians. July and August are usually hot, but temperatures drop over night and in the mountains it can be cold even in summertime. Pack summer clothing, but don’t forget a sweater plus a windproof/waterproof jacket. Bring a water bottle, insect repellent, sunscreen, a sunhat and a torch.
Travel insurance: Although Romania is as safe as any other country in Europe, we would like to ask you to consider purchasing travel insurance.
