1. What is Travel Insurance?

Travel Insurance is your safety net while exploring the world — especially in the mountains. It’s a protection plan that secures your travel investment against unexpected events such as illness, accidents, flight cancellations, or lost baggage.In simple terms, it’s a smart backup that ensures you don’t lose financially when unforeseen situations arise during your journey.

2. Why Do You Need Travel Insurance?

The primary goal of Travel Insurance is to protect your health, safety, and finances while you travel.

Here are two major reasons why it’s essential:

1. Emergency Medical Rescue & Evacuation – To safeguard your life when urgent evacuation or medical assistance is needed.
2. Financial Protection – To minimize monetary losses due to canceled trips, missed flights, lost baggage, or other travel disruptions
3. Why is Travel Insurance Especially Important in the Himalayas?

When venturing into the Himalayas, uncertainty is the only certainty.

Weather can shift rapidly, leading to flight delays, trip cancellations, or even emergencies requiring helicopter rescue. You may also face challenges such as lost luggage, altitude sickness, or injuries in remote areas where medical help is limited and costly.

That’s why Brotherhood Adventure strongly advises all trekkers and climbers to obtain comprehensive Travel and Medical Insurance before starting any Himalayan journey.

It’s not just a requirement — it’s your lifeline when the unexpected happens.

4.What Should Your Travel Insurance Cover?

For any high-altitude trek or expedition, a valid insurance policy is mandatory. You must submit a copy of your insurance before your trip begins.

Here’s what your insurance should include:

1. Travel Protection

Coverage for losses caused by missed or delayed flights, trip cancellations, or extended travel due to unavoidable reasons.

2. Emergency Medical Evacuation & Repatriation

The Himalayas can be unpredictable. Your policy must cover emergency helicopter rescue and medical evacuation — crucial for altitude sickness, frostbite, or severe injuries.

3. Medical Expenses

Even after evacuation, hospitalization and treatment costs can be high. Ensure your policy includes full coverage for medical expenses.

4. Baggage Loss Coverage

If your baggage is delayed, lost, or mishandled, insurance helps cover replacement costs and prevents trip disruptions.

5. Accidental Death & Disability

In rare and unfortunate cases of serious accidents or death, insurance provides financial support to the affected family.

Your Insurance Policy Should Clearly Include:

Emergency Medical Evacuation & Repatriation

Coverage for all activities booked with Brotherhood Adventure (trekking, climbing, etc.)

Travel Dates and Duration

Geographical Area (Nepal or other destinations)
