Travel Insurance

Trekking in Nepal is a rewarding experience, but it also involves unique risks due to high altitudes, changing weather, and remote locations. Travel insurance is essential to ensure that you are protected against unforeseen events and emergencies during your trip.

Why Travel Insurance is Important

Travel insurance provides coverage for a variety of situations, including:

• Medical emergencies: Illness, injuries, or altitude sickness treatment
• Emergency evacuation: Helicopter or ground evacuation from remote areas
• Trip cancellations or interruptions: Due to weather, political issues, or personal emergencies
• Lost or stolen belongings: Luggage, trekking gear, passports, or personal items
• Accidents: Covering accidents while trekking or participating in adventure activities

Recommended Travel Insurance Coverage

When selecting travel insurance for trekking in Nepal, make sure your policy includes:

• Medical coverage with a high limit for treatment at local and international hospitals
• Emergency evacuation and helicopter rescue for high-altitude treks
• Trip interruption or cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances
• Coverage for adventure activities including trekking, mountaineering, and hiking

Altitude Considerations

Trekking in high-altitude regions like Everest, Annapurna, or Manaslu carries additional risks. Ensure your insurance covers altitude sickness and emergency evacuation. Some basic travel policies may not include this, so verify carefully.

Choosing the Right Insurance Provider

• Select a reputable insurance company recognized internationally
