Why Travel Insurance is Important
High-altitude trekking involves physical challenges and risks. Even a minor illness or injury may require emergency evacuation by helicopter, which can be very expensive. Medical facilities in remote areas are limited, so a good travel insurance policy is essential.
Your policy should cover:
Emergency helicopter or air ambulance evacuation
Medical treatment and hospital care
High-altitude sickness / Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)
Trip cancellation or interruption
Loss, theft, or damage of luggage
Make sure your insurance covers the highest altitude of your trek, which can range from 3,500 meters to over 5,600 meters, depending on your route.

High-Altitude Trekking Risks – High-Altitude Sickness (AMS)
Treks in the Himalayas, including Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Circuit, Langtang Valley, Manaslu Circuit, Upper Mustang, Kanchenjunga, and other high-altitude routes, go to elevations where Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) can be a serious risk.
