Everything you would ask
Bookings
How do I book a trip?
Pick a date, hit “Book your spot” and fill in the form — you pay nothing at that moment. You will get an email straight away with the next steps and the participation form.
How early should I book?
Spots are limited (8–16 people). The popular trips fill up weeks in advance.
Can I cancel?
Yes — the earlier the better. You will always find the exact cancellation terms in the Terms of Participation.
On the trip
What ages are in the group?
We do not check IDs — we look at attitude. People of every age have travelled with us; what they share is the same appetite for adventure. On the “Trips for Hippies” the mood is even more laid-back.
Who comes with us?
An experienced Altervan coordinator — not a tour guide, but the friend who knows the road.
What fitness level do I need?
Easy to moderate. All you need is the will to walk and explore.
Where you sleep & how you pay
Where will we stay?
Guesthouses, wooden cabins, hostels/dorms or mountain huts — depending on the type of trip. You sleep in twin rooms shared within the group; we arrange the rooms ourselves, so you never have to go hunting for a roommate. A single room is not the rule — if you want one, tell us from the start and we will look into it subject to availability, at an extra charge.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes — you book with a deposit and pay off the rest gradually, in instalments.
What does the price include?
It varies by trip — most of them include the flights. The official list is always the “Included / Not included” section on each trip page.
