Travel Insurance for Nepal Treks
Before joining a trek in Nepal, we strongly recommend having proper travel insurance that covers emergency rescue, medical support, trip protection, and high-altitude trekking where applicable.
Nepal Royal Tourism Holidays can guide you with the basic process, but travelers may also issue their insurance by themselves using the QR code below. Please check the plan details carefully and make sure the coverage matches your trekking route, altitude, travel dates, and personal needs.
| Situation | What you should do | Important note |
|---|---|---|
| You want to issue insurance yourself | Scan the QR code below and follow the insurance provider’s process | Send us a copy of your final policy before your trek starts |
| You want help understanding the plan | Contact Nepal Royal Tourism Holidays and we will guide you through the basic options | Final insurance selection should always be checked by the traveler |
| You already have travel insurance | Check whether it covers trekking, emergency evacuation, altitude, medical treatment, and trip cancellation | Basic travel insurance may not cover high-altitude trekking |
| You are joining a high-altitude trek | Choose coverage based on your maximum trekking altitude and route type | Everest, Annapurna, Manaslu, Langtang, Upper Mustang, and other routes may need different coverage levels |
Scan the QR Code to Issue Travel Insurance
You can also send this QR to travelers who want to issue the insurance by themselves.
Scan the QR code and complete the insurance process through the provider’s platform. After your insurance is issued, please send your policy copy to Nepal Royal Tourism so our team can keep it with your trip record.
Before confirming, check your travel dates, trekking route, maximum altitude, emergency rescue coverage, medical coverage, and cancellation terms.
| Before you buy | Why it is essential |
|---|---|
| Maximum altitude coverage | Your policy should match the highest point of your trek, not just the country you are visiting |
| Emergency helicopter rescue | Remote trekking areas may require evacuation support during serious illness, injury, or altitude problems |
| Medical treatment | Hospital care, doctor consultation, and medicine costs should be clearly covered |
| Trip cancellation or delay | Weather, flight delays, health problems, and personal emergencies can affect trekking plans |
| Policy document copy | Keep one copy with yourself and send one copy to our team before the trek |

| After insurance is issued | What to send us | Why we need it |
|---|---|---|
| Policy document | Send the final insurance PDF or clear photo of the policy | So our team can keep your insurance record with your trip file |
| Emergency contact number | Send the emergency claim or rescue contact provided by the insurance company | This helps during urgent medical or evacuation situations |
| Passport name match | Check that your insurance name matches your passport name | Small spelling mistakes can create problems during claims |
| Travel dates | Confirm that your policy covers your full Nepal travel period | Your policy should cover arrival, trekking days, and departure buffer days |
| Insurance option | What it usually includes | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Travel Protection Plan | Basic travel insurance coverage based on altitude, trip duration, age group, and selected protection level | Regular trekking routes where the traveler mainly needs insurance coverage without an added satellite safety device |
| Travel Protection with Safety Device | Insurance coverage together with a satellite-connected safety device for SOS support, tracking, and emergency coordination | High-altitude treks, remote routes, and travelers who want extra safety support during the journey |
| Special Route Plan | Route-specific protection for selected journeys where the risk level, location, or rescue access may be different from standard trekking areas | Special routes, remote Himalayan journeys, or itineraries that need plan details checked more carefully before purchase |
| Satellite Safety Support | SOS button, location signal, rescue coordination, emergency response support, and medical support guidance depending on the plan | Trekkers going into places where normal phone signal may not be reliable |
