Trekking to Langtang valley doesn’t require an insurance policy. However, we recommend you to be insured before joining this trek for your financial protection in case of any emergencies. It is a moderate-level trek that goes through remote mountain terrain, rivers, and jungles. The excess of transport and hospitals are out of reach. In this region, the fastest option to get to the well-equipped hospital is by helicopter.

There is always a risk of natural calamities or health issues while traveling to the mountainous region. So, if you are fully insured all of your medication and helicopter rescue expenses will be covered by your insurance company.

Don’t worry; you are with the right hand. We will do everything to save your life if there are any difficulties with you in the mountains.

Our native guides are well-trained and authorized by Nepal’s government. They are even trained in first aid medicine and they are eligible for medication in case of an emergency. If you have altitude sickness or any other health issues, you will be certainly taken to the nearby hospital if available. If there aren’t any health posts, you will be transferred to the low elevation as soon as possible.

Even more, if your health condition is getting worse your guide will contact our office in Kathmandu and ask for an emergency helicopter rescue. Then after, you will be transferred to the well-equipped hospital in Kathmandu for further treatment. All these rescue and treatment expenses should be covered by your insurance policy.

In the case of a natural disaster, you will be taken to a safe place with the help of our guide and porters. If the trails are blocked due to natural calamities your guide will try to find the safest and alternative routes. However, if there isn’t any option to go further up or return to Kathmandu, you will be rescued by helicopter and taken to Kathmandu. Your helicopter evacuation expenses should be covered by your insurance policy.

Langtang valley trek is a moderate trek that goes up to the 4,773 meters altitude at Tserko Ri. But you will spend overnight at a height of 3,800 meters only. Relatively, this trek is easier than the other treks of Nepal such as Annapurna Base Camp and Everest base camp. Thus, you don’t need to be fit extremely.

However, doing some training beforehand is much more beneficial for your enjoyment. We suggest you prepare at least 8 weeks before your trip and do regular morning walks, join the gym, swim, climb upstairs, or do short hiking at least once or twice a week. On this trek, your porters will carry your belongings and you have to carry your personal items only.
