It is important to grasp the vitality of buying travel insurance when heading on a Zen Explore Nepal adventure. Our trips include various parts of the world such as the Himalayas, Tibet, Bhutan, South Asia, India, Tanzania China, and Mongolia.
These countries offer a spectrum of adventures from Culture & Leisure Tours to Trekking & Walking Holidays and Climbing & Expedition trips. All our travels require that you have proper travel insurance for your safety.
Traveling can be dangerous. In particular, this is true for remote or high-altitude areas. Such dangers may include health risks; accidents and cancellations of flights/trips due to unforeseen circumstances such as natural catastrophes, political volatility, or epidemics.
A well-arranged trip can easily become stressful in case of inadequate insurance coverage. That is why, we insist on sufficient travel insurance before you board our airplane for any of our trips.
It should be noted that all travel insurance covers are not equal because what one has to insure against solely depends on where they are going.
For this reason, one should select an encompassing policy covering all activities and destinations involved.
For the Culture & Leisure Tours which take place in less risky zones and at lower altitudes, you will not need advanced insurance. However, some basic conditions should still be detailed in your policy including medical emergencies, flight cancellations, and other uncontrollable situations like pandemics to cover any disruptions on your travel plan.
Nepal’s mountains present an experience of its kind while trekking but it comes with challenges especially those related to altitude especially when higher up. In such remote areas where health issues like altitude sickness or injuries can be eminent, there may be a lack of instant medical care.
Henceforth, emergency search and evacuation expenses plus medical costs including helicopter rescues must be insured by your travel insurance policy. Ensure that your policy includes coverage for trip cancellation as well. We recommend talking with one of our travel advisors before buying your insurance to ensure you have the proper coverage for the trek.
Some of the most challenging and dangerous adventures we provide are in climbing and expeditions. These trips generally involve scaling up peaks using ropes and other climbing aids, often under freezing conditions. Due to the high risk involved, you must have advanced rescue insurance.
Your insurance must also cover search, rescue, and advanced medical care. Premiums for these policies might be higher but they are necessary for your safety. Do notify your insurer about your destination’s highest altitude during the trip to facilitate the provision of appropriate coverage.
Ensure that your travel insurance policy includes:
One has to go through their policy thoroughly and ensure that it covers any potential risks posed by one’s specific trip. In case you’re not sure or there are some questions regarding the coverage you need, do not hesitate to get in touch with us for consultation.
There are different insurance needs for various destinations. This implies that Tibet has no helicopter rescue hence, there is no need for air ambulance coverage. Nevertheless, if you are going hiking or climbing in the Himalayas, it is a necessity.
When traveling to Bhutan this insurance must also include an environment conservation fee as well as the usual medical costs and cancellations because Bhutan has extremely controlled tourism intended to protect its natural and cultural heritage.
