Let’s face it, with adventure travel, things don’t always go as planned. The proposed itinerary gets thrown out the window because of a storm, a tire goes flat on the jeep ride across Tibet, or you get a stomach rumbling from new and different cuisine. But these unknowns are why we love adventure travel, right?

Too many times we have seen clients need to cancel their trip either before or during an expedition for unforeseen reasons such as injury, illness, family issues, work obligations and so on. Considering the length of expeditions and how much is at stake, it would be irresponsible to not be prepared for contingencies. That is why for each of our programs, we require Travel Insurance which covers trip delay and cancellation, rescue, repatriation, and any medical issues that may arise. Protect yourself so you can head out on your expedition with peace of mind and focus on climbing.

There are several excellent providers on the market that can take care of your insurance needs. Please do your research to make sure you understand the specific coverage of each plan, and that the plan covers the full amount of the trip cost. Although their plans and rates are always adapting and changing with the market, our clients have had the best success with these providers (in no specific order):

• Global Rescue
• TripAssure
• Travel Guard

Whichever plan you choose, please make sure to forward us a copy before the start of the expedition, so we can assist you in case of an emergency.
