Moreover, the trail is in the Himalayan region of Nepal and is above 3000 m altitude from sea level. Unforeseen events are expected. Therefore, you need to get travel insurance. The insurance plan has to cover all the emergency rescue and medical aid. Add the helicopter rescue, medical expenses, and accidents to the plan.
