Travel Insurance

Three major types of travel experiences are provided by Green Getaways: adventure, tours, and sustainable travel in Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet.

To participate in any of our tours and adventures, it is necessary for our clients to be covered against all costs they may face due to accidents, illness, pandemics, regional epidemics, political unrest and protests, and natural disasters. Nevertheless, the insurance coverage varies depending on the type of trip package.

Without adequate travel insurance, a journey cannot be taken in comfort. The expense of emergency care and evacuation in the event of illness or injury is rather alarming. As a result, we urge everyone who joins Green Getaways to purchase travel insurance. We advise you to exercise caution when selecting coverage because some insurers have unique exclusions for adventurous travel. Prior to purchasing insurance, confirm that your provider is aware of the Green Getaways adventure plan you intend to follow and is willing to cover all activities involved in the trip.

For instance, your insurance must cover emergency air ambulance/helicopter rescue, including medical costs, if you are embarking on trekking, climbing, or expeditions. Although it is preferable to have them with you, having air ambulance or helicopter rescue coverage is not required for a group tour in urban areas. Again, since helicopter rescue is not an option for visits to Tibet, purchasing air ambulance coverage is not necessary. Also, because all payments for deposits are non-refundable, double-check your insurance coverage to make sure it covers trip cancellation.

Insurance for Culture, Sustainable & Leisure Tours

Culture, Sustainable, and Leisure Tours typically don’t include going to dangerous places or high altitudes, therefore they don’t need to be covered by comprehensive travel insurance. However, for these tours, your insurance should provide coverage for medical emergencies, pandemics, epidemics, flight cancellations, and trip cancellations.

Trekking & Walking Holidays

The altitude and mountainous terrain, which may present a significant risk to life, play a significant role in the difficulty level found in various hiking destinations. If you travel somewhere without access to roads or hospitals, you might need to evacuate immediately. For these kinds of journeys, you must let your insurance company know the highest height you will be traveling to. As a result, your insurance provider will pay for medical problems, evacuation, and emergency search. Recall to include travel cancellation in the insurance coverage as well. Please get additional information from one of our travel consultants before purchasing your insurance coverage.

Climbing & Expedition

Expeditions and climbing trips carry a high level of danger. There is a considerable risk of death because you will be climbing with ropes on ice and snow in mountain cliffs. You must purchase advanced rescue insurance for these journeys, which often has a slightly higher rate. Insurance providers offer coverage options based on the altitude you’ll be traveling at. Keep in mind that you must have search and rescue and advanced medical insurance for your climbing and expedition activities with us.

You must either send us a copy of your insurance policy information or bring it with you on the trip. We have the right to cancel your trip if you are unable to provide the proof of insurance required for a Green Getaways excursion, out of concern for your safety.
