Note- If a booking is made using a voucher or discount code, the policies related to vouchers and discounts cannot be modified.
In the unlikely event that YMY cancels a trek prior to the scheduled departure date:
While it is extremely rare for YMY to cancel a trek, we understand that unforeseen circumstances or natural disasters may occasionally require us to do so before the scheduled departure. These circumstances could include continuous rain or snow, thunderstorms, snowstorms, landslides, floods, earthquakes, or any other natural calamity that poses a risk to the safety of our trekkers. Additionally, unforeseeable events such as local riots, curfews, pandemics, lockdowns, government orders, or any similar situations that compromise the safety of the trekking experience may also necessitate a cancellation.
In the event of such a cancellation, YMY will provide you with a voucher equivalent to the amount you paid for the trek. This voucher can be redeemed for any of our treks within the next year, allowing you to still enjoy an adventure with us at a later date.
Note
The issuance of a voucher is not applicable in situations where you are required to descend from the trek for any reason. The trek leader may make the decision to send you down from the trek due to factors such as insufficient fitness level, symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), high blood pressure, exceeding the designated turn-around-time, health concerns, or if you are found smoking, drinking, or violating the rules set for the trek. In such cases, the provision of a voucher does not apply.
In the Rare Event that YMY Shifts a Trek
We would like to emphasize that weather conditions in high-altitude areas are highly unpredictable and can undergo sudden changes at any time, irrespective of the day. Additionally, circumstances beyond our control, such as natural disasters, political unrest, pandemics, and lockdowns, may impact the feasibility of conducting a trek. In cases where we are unable to proceed with an event due to such circumstances that are beyond our direct control, we will make every effort to provide you with an alternative trek that is safer and more suitable.
In such situations, we will issue a voucher to offset the cost difference between the originally scheduled trek and the alternative trek. This voucher can be redeemed at any time within one year from the date of issue. Please note that a refund fee or reimbursement of the cost difference is not applicable in these cases.
Note:
- Change of trek batch is dependent on the availability of seats in the batch
- In case of transferring a trek to a friend, he/she should satisfy all the mandatory requirements put forward by YMY
- YMY holds the right to change/cancel the policies, without prior notice
- Cash refund is applicable only in case of bookings made without using any promotional offer code or vouchers

However, most of our treks are covered under our Trek Again Policy, allowing you the opportunity to repeat the same trek at a later date.

From Mountains to Mahadev My Journey to Jageshwar Dham
Jageshwar Temples in The Deodar Forest
Jageshwar Dham is an ancient temple site in the Almora district of Uttarakhand, situated amidst deodar forests at an altitude of approximately 1,870 meters. This holy place is among the twelve supposed Jyotirlingas and is of enormous importance in Shaivism. The site contains more than 125 stone temples, of which most were constructed between the 7th to 14th centuries in the style of Nagara architecture.
The principal deity here is Lord Shiva, who is worshipped as Jageshwar Mahadev, and other deities such as Vishnu, Surya, and different forms of Devi. The key temples are the Dandeshwar, Mahamrityunjaya, and Jageshwar Temple. The site, which is administered by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), also has a tiny museum that consists of ancient idols and inscriptions.
Jageshwar is not just a holy center but also a peaceful getaway surrounded by cedar and pine forests. It is home to the Jageshwar Monsoon Festival during July–August, attracting pilgrims and tourists in equal numbers. Serene, ancient, and deeply spiritual, Jageshwar provides an ultimate Himalayan experience.
