Nepal Travel Insurance

Nepal travel insurance should be matched to your itinerary. A city tour has different risk from a high-altitude trek, helicopter tour, rafting trip, or remote safari. The most important detail is whether your policy covers your actual altitude, activity, and emergency evacuation needs.

Coverage to check first

For trekking and mountain travel, confirm emergency medical treatment, helicopter evacuation, altitude limits, trekking activity cover, trip interruption, and baggage protection. Do not assume a standard travel policy covers high-altitude trekking.
  • Emergency medical treatment
  • Helicopter evacuation where relevant
  • Altitude limit matching the route
  • Trekking or adventure activity cover
  • Trip delay and cancellation terms

Altitude and activity wording

Policies often exclude trekking above a certain height or activities that are not listed. Everest Base Camp, Gokyo, Manaslu, Annapurna Circuit, and similar routes can exceed standard policy limits. Ask the insurer for written confirmation when the wording is unclear.

Documents to carry

Keep your policy number, emergency assistance number, passport details, and contact information available offline. Guides should know the insurer emergency process before heading into remote regions.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need helicopter evacuation cover for Nepal?

For high-altitude trekking, remote regions, or routes with limited road access, helicopter evacuation cover is strongly recommended and sometimes essential.

Does normal travel insurance cover Everest Base Camp?

Not always. Many policies exclude trekking above certain altitudes, so confirm the route altitude and trekking activity are covered in writing.
