Travel Insurance

Trekking or hiking in the mountain is risky because the high altitude can lead to many illnesses, weakness in trekkers, and misjudgments. There is also a risk on trails for falls, avalanches, or other mishaps. Your regular travel insurance probably won’t cover you at high altitude and won’t cover a helicopter evacuation. Please make sure that your travel insurance policy will cover helicopter rescue and all the other medication in case of emergency. Hence, travel insurance is compulsory, trekking to Langtang.
