Travel Insurance: International travellers are strongly advised to take out full health insurance and should be prepared to pay up front for medical services. It is recommended that you bring an extra $200 and a credit card, in case of emergencies.

Things can happen when you're travelling that are out of your control, so insurance comes in handy. Considering the unpredictable nature, remote destinations and conditions encountered on many tours it is REQUIRED to have travel medical insurance on ALL trekking and climbing trips, and trip cancellation insurance is highly recommended. If you're going to spend your hard-earned money to enjoy your holiday - why not spend a bit more to safeguard it?

Upon starting your tour, the guide will ask everyone to provide a copy of their insurance details to keep on record. Failure to provide this information can, and has, resulted in travellers being unable to continue on tour, so don't leave home without it.

Travel Guard offers competitive plans. You’ll want to get the standard basic medical, emergency evacuation, trip cancellation/delay, baggage delay, etc. These options come with most packages. However, you’ll want to add on the adventure sports waiver though, for high-altitude climbing. All trips are at high altitude, and any claims to your insurance could be denied, if you do not sign up for the adventure sports waiver.
