Everest Base Camp Trek with Overnight at Base Camp

All trekkers must have comprehensive travel insurance and provide a copy of their insurance policy certificate to our local exports. The insurance policy should include coverage for medical expenses, emergency repatriation, and helicopter rescue and evacuation costs at altitudes of up to 6000m. While we can provide recommendations for insurance companies based on feedback from previous clients and our own experience, we do not sell insurance policies directly. Once you have booked the trek, we kindly request that trekking members send us their detailed insurance information. In case of emergencies, we will utilize the insurance policy and information you provided to facilitate a prompt and efficient rescue operation, arrange emergency medical assistance, and more. Please ensure that your insurance coverage includes all costs associated with mountain rescue services. Before purchasing travel insurance, it is important to contact the insurance company and confirm that they offer helicopter rescue services up to 6000m.
