Travel Insurance

It is a condition of booking with us that you have appropriate travel insurance in place and that you provide confirmation and a copy of your travel insurance to us before you travel.

It may not be as exciting as your trip itself but travel insurance is a very important element of any trip, especially when you're planning a high altitude trek, tour or other type of adventure travel experience. We strongly advise you take out travel insurance at the time of booking, to protect yourself in case of any unexpected events that may prevent you from travelling as well as having it in place in the case of any events that happen whilst you are travelling. Whilst we hope you never need to use it, it is important you have appropriate travel insurance in place, particularly because if you need emergency evacuation in the mountain regions of the Himalayas, where the normal method is by helicopter (as there is often no road access) which can mean a very expensive and unwanted bill if you don't have travel insurance.

If you have not already arranged appropriate insurance cover, please contact our recommended Travel Insurance providers Rise & Shield or Campbell Irvine
