It's said that some of Chalcon Line expeditions are dangerous. How I can know, if I'll come back alive?

 

It's our job to provide expeditions to jungles, mountains, or war-zones. Places where you cannot go with other tour companies. That's truth that some of those places are potentially dangerous. And that's why we take safety as our first consideration.

Our schedules are planned for avoid risky situations, we have special procedures in case when something goes wrong, and our employees are there with you for handle any of this situations. The difference between risk and "controlled risk" is like doing Mount Everest on your own, or with professional and knowledgably climbing guide.

We give people adventure, not harm!

 

Who are people who work for you?

 

Western guide is usually the author of the expedition plan and takes responsibility on "everything what happens on the way". Normally we take also local "fixer".

We hire the best available specialists and pay them very well. They are experts in their job, and are intelligent, knowledgeable, and respectful individuals.

 

I am old/weak/don't have money/never traveled abroad - can I go on Chalcon Line expedition?

Information about expeditions in your webpage is poor. There's no day-to-day schedule of activities available - why?

 

You are right. We don't provide detailed information on our website. That's because our programs are specially designated for our company, and we don't want that competing companies steal our ideas and travel scenarios.

Just contact us and you'll get very detailed program of travel. Our agent can respond also all your questions. That's what they are paid for.
