Travel Insurance Guide – Sherpa Khangri Outdoor

At Sherpa Khangri Outdoor, your safety is our top priority. Whether you’re exploring the rugged trails of the Himalayas, trekking through remote landscapes in Asia, or climbing icy mountain peaks, having reliable travel insurance is essential. We specialize in high-altitude adventures, trekking expeditions, and cultural tours across the Himalayas, South Asia, Africa, Mongolia, and beyond—each with unique risks and requirements.

Why Travel Insurance Matters

Travel in remote or high-altitude regions often involves unpredictable conditions—extreme weather, rugged terrain, limited access to medical facilities, and possible political or natural disruptions. That’s why comprehensive travel insurance is mandatory for joining any of our trips.

Good travel insurance covers:

• Medical emergencies and evacuation
• Trip cancellations or interruptions (due to illness, pandemics, unrest, or natural disasters)
• Baggage and personal item loss
• Flight delays and cancellations

Please note that insurance coverage may differ depending on the trip type. Make sure your policy aligns with the adventure you’re planning.

Trip-Specific Insurance Requirements

🏞️ Culture & Leisure Tours

These trips are usually at lower altitudes and in more accessible areas. Advanced medical insurance or rescue coverage isn’t required, but your policy must include:

• Trip cancellation
• Medical emergencies
• Coverage for pandemic/epidemic-related issues

🥾 Trekking & Walking Holidays

Trekking routes often lead to remote, high-altitude areas with limited infrastructure. Insurance must include:

• Emergency medical care
• Air ambulance or helicopter evacuation
• Altitude-specific coverage
• Trip cancellation coverage

Please inform your insurer of the maximum elevation you’ll be reaching.

🧗 Climbing & Expedition Trips

These are our most extreme adventures, involving technical climbs on snow, ice, and glaciers. Insurance is mandatory and must include:

• Advanced search and rescue
• Air ambulance/helicopter evacuation
• High-altitude medical coverage
• Trip cancellation insurance

Due to the inherent risk, policies for climbing expeditions typically come with a higher premium. Please review your insurer’s altitude and activity clauses in detail.
