Travel insurance is an essential part of planning your trip to Nepal. Whether you are joining a trekking adventure, peak climbing expedition, cultural tour, or wildlife safari, comprehensive travel insurance provides financial protection and peace of mind throughout your journey.
At Rising Adventure, we strongly recommend that all travellers purchase comprehensive travel insurance before arriving in Nepal. For trekking, peak climbing, and other adventure activities, travel insurance is mandatory.
Why Travel Insurance Is Important
Travel insurance helps protect you against unexpected situations, including:
- Medical emergencies and hospital treatment
- Emergency helicopter evacuation (for trekking and climbing)
- Trip cancellation or interruption
- Flight delays and missed connections
- Loss, theft, or damage to baggage and personal belongings
- Personal liability
- Emergency assistance and repatriation
Trekking and High-Altitude Coverage
If you plan to trek or climb in the Himalayas, your insurance policy should specifically cover:
- High-altitude trekking and mountaineering
- Emergency helicopter rescue and evacuation
- Medical treatment at high altitude
- Search and rescue expenses
- Adventure activities included in your itinerary
Please check the maximum altitude covered by your policy, as some insurers exclude high-altitude trekking.
Before You Travel
Before departing for Nepal, please ensure that:
- Your insurance policy is valid for the entire duration of your trip.
- It covers all activities included in your itinerary.
- Emergency helicopter evacuation is included where applicable.
- You carry a copy of your insurance certificate and emergency contact details.

In the event of an emergency, Rising Adventure will assist you in coordinating with local authorities, medical facilities, and your insurance provider. However, all claims, approvals, and reimbursements remain subject to the terms and conditions of your insurance policy.
