Rules & Regulations The following rules and regulations are required by law and to make Nanika Guiding a safe and reliable operation. We expect our guests to abide by them and if they do not understand them, it is their responsibility to ask Nanika Guiding's Staff to explain them. Nanika Guiding reserves the right to cancel the adventure if guests do not abide by the following:
