You can get a quote from this link and buy directly from ALLIANZ, our preferred insurance provider.
Maximum benefits of travel insurance are availablewhen purchased same day as the initial trip deposit.
We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to cover medical evacuation, as medical evacuations can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Payment will be expected in cash before the medevac can take place, if there is no insurance coverage. Neither the U.S. Embassy nor the U.S. government pays private medical bills overseas.
Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept cash payments.
Travel insurance is an essential safeguard for any traveler, offering peace of mind and financial protection against unforeseen circumstances. Whether embarking on a short weekend getaway or an extended international adventure, travel insurance provides coverage for a range of mishaps, including trip cancellations, medical emergencies, lost luggage, and flight delays. Without it, travelers risk significant financial losses and stress in the event of emergencies or disruptions during their journey. From unexpected illnesses to natural disasters, travel insurance ensures that travelers are not left stranded or burdened with exorbitant expenses. It's a small investment that can make a world of difference in ensuring a smooth and worry-free travel experience.
All U.S. Citizen travelers are encouraged to enroll into Smart Traveler Enrollment Program while traveling abroad. This is a free service that allows U.S. citizens traveling or living abroad to receive the latest security updates from the U.S. Embassy. Enrolling in STEP will help the U.S. embassy contact them and provide assistance during an emergency overseas.
U.S. government employees on official travel to Nepal must seek approval before traveling outside of Kathmandu Valley.
However, visa requirements can change, so it's essential to verify the current regulations before traveling.
