For tourists and travelers, one of many questions that
arise while traveling to Nepal for trekking or other adventure tours is about Travel and Medical insurance. In the current era, there is a wide
range of Insurance policies covering different aspects of one’s life.
Likewise, there are companies that provide insurance policies for traveling
abroad.
Nepal being the adventure travel destination, home of
the massive Himalayas including Mt.Everest: makes it one of the most sought destinations for trekking and mountaineering holidays. When one thinks of
traveling for adventure, then the risk is synonymous with the rewards of the
vacation.
The government of Nepal has therefore made it
mandatory for all adventure tourism adventures in the Himalayas. Thus if you’re
seeking for traveling to Nepal in order to take any trekking, hiking, or
mountaineering trips: then you are obliged to have a comprehensive Travel
Insurance covering various aspects such as Emergency evacuation,
Hospitalization, and other unfortunate events.
The rough
geographical property of the Himalayas with varying weather makes the adventure
destinations full of unpredictability. Natural disasters, accidents, rapid
changes in weather causing heavy rainfall/snowfall, or other unfortunate events
can ruin your adventure trip, causing it to be canceled or postponed.
Besides, the rising altitude and freezing cold weather
can be hazardous to any traveler living in a more comfortable environment, with
the chances of health deterioration including Acute Mountain Sickness or Altitude Sickness. During a worst-case scenario, an immediate evacuation might
be needed using the Helicopter services in order to transfer the victims to a
safe place or nearest Hospitals.
Therefore Vertex Holiday recommends you to have all-covering Medical and Travel Insurance from your native provider along with a clear understanding of their policies. Once you are secure, you’ll not need to
worry about enormous sums of expenditure that can arise due to any of the above-mentioned cases.
Moreover, Travel Insurance with Travel protection is
better: as you never know if your trip needs to be canceled due to any
unfortunate reason like missing a flight, leading to losing the money you paid
for that particular trip. As the down payments made to Vertex Holidays are
non-refundable it is our advice for you to be secure. For more information about Vertex Holiday's Policies check here
