Travel Insurance

When you are travelling to a country like Nepal, travel insurance is a must. There are probabilities of flight delays and cancellation. Even in case of emergency rescues at high altitudinal regions, any kind of illness on the way, travel insurance can be a wise decision. While travelling, any unforeseen circumstances may come across. To prepare ourselves for those instances, travel insurance becomes a must.

We recommend you to have a travel insurance that covers both medical and emergency evacuation cost. An insurance of minimum USD 100,000 is recommended. It’s better to be insured than taking risk without any back up plan.

So, ensure yourself and travel without any worries.

There are many multinational insurance companies that offer travel insurance. Choose the one that is convenient for you.
