The certified Wildways expedition leader exercises full operational authority regarding daily pacing, route alterations, and emergency turn-arounds to protect human life.

3. Environmental Leave-No-Trace Conduct

Trekkers must adhere to zero-littering rules. Defacing rocks, leaving non-biodegradable plastics, or damaging flora and fauna in sanctuaries will result in immediate disenrollment from the expedition.
