🔍 Cost Transparency

All volunteering or trekking programs listed on this website come with clear cost breakdowns. These estimates include accommodation, transport, meals, guide wages, and local support expenses where applicable.

I strive to keep your experience affordable, ethical, and meaningful. There are no hidden charges unless explicitly mentioned. I do not promote commission-based add-ons or expensive “luxury” upgrades unless requested by you.

🤝 Code of Ethics

• Operate with honesty and full disclosure
• Respect local culture and environment
• No exploitation of locals or volunteers
• Prioritize safety, well-being, and fairness

📄 Legal Disclaimer

Since HCWAKS is run by a sole individual and not a private limited company, I am personally liable for my services. Your bookings, payments, and participation are based on mutual trust, documentation (when required), and direct communication.
