Your safety and well-being are our top priorities at Great Adventure Nepal. Before you embark on your Himalayan adventure, it’s important to prepare not only with the right gear but also with adequate travel insurance and the necessary vaccinations to protect your health throughout your journey.
Travel Insurance — Why You Need It
Travel insurance is essential for anyone trekking in Nepal or visiting remote mountain regions. It covers unforeseen events such as:
Medical emergencies and evacuation
Trip cancellations or delays
Lost or stolen belongings
Accidents during trekking or adventure activities
We strongly recommend purchasing a comprehensive travel insurance policy that includes high-altitude trekking and helicopter evacuation coverage. Many trekking permits also require proof of insurance before your trip begins.
If you need recommendations, we can suggest reliable insurance providers who specialize in adventure travel.
Recommended Vaccinations
Before traveling to Nepal, it’s wise to consult your healthcare provider about vaccinations. Commonly recommended vaccines for travelers to Nepal include:
Routine Vaccinations: MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, polio, varicella (chickenpox), and influenza
Hepatitis A & B
Typhoid
Japanese Encephalitis (for longer stays or rural areas)
Rabies (for those at higher risk, such as trekkers spending extended time outdoors)
Malaria Prevention: Although low risk in Kathmandu and most trekking regions, some southern lowland areas (Terai) may require precautions
Health & Safety Tips
Carry a basic first-aid kit including altitude sickness medication
Stay hydrated and avoid tap water (use bottled or purified water)
Practice good hygiene to prevent gastrointestinal illnesses
Inform your guide immediately if you feel unwell during the trek
At Great Adventure Nepal, we want your trip to be safe, healthy, and stress-free. If you have any questions about insurance or health preparation, just ask — we’re here to help you every step of the way.
