This insurance must cover, at a minimum, trip cancellations, medical expenses, emergency evacuations (including high-altitude scenarios), and any other personal needs or potential risks associated with the activities included in your itinerary.

While we may provide a list of travel insurance providers for your reference, this is offered solely as a convenience. We do not endorse, recommend, or have any involvement in the purchase or management of your travel insurance. The selection, acquisition, and suitability of the insurance policy are entirely your responsibility.

• You have secured appropriate travel insurance that meets your specific requirements.
• The company is not liable for any expenses, losses, or claims arising from inadequate or insufficient insurance coverage, regardless of the circumstances.
