Who Covers Helicopter Rescue for Your Expedition?
Not all insurance companies understand the Himalayas. You need a specialist. Here are the providers trusted by guides for Everest Base Camp and Mount Everest expeditions.
The backpacker favorite. Their 'Explorer' plan covers trekking to 6,000m. They are known for paying out reliable rescue claims. A solid choice for standard Everest trekking.
This is a membership, not insurance. They provide the best evacuation logistics in the world. Serious climbers on a Mount Everest summit attempt usually pair this with a medical insurance policy.
These are adventure-specific insurers. They understand that 'mountaineering' is different from 'trekking'. Check their policies if you are climbing Island Peak during your Everest expedition.
Policy details change. Always read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) before buying. Ensure 'Nepal' and '6,000m' are covered.
