Do NZ laws apply to this deal?

Hi Bhushan, Could you clarify what law in particular you mean?

Hi Melinda - I suppose consumer protection - i.e. if the service provider doesn't fulfilment their obligations under this deal, where am I taking my complaint? Will I have to chase someone in another country where they have weak consumer protection laws.
I have already booked my air-travel to and from Nepal to undertake this trek in March-April and am actively considering joining a group. However there have been reports of promises not being kept by service providers - hence my question.
