Local guides might offer lower prices, but do they have the necessary training and experience to handle emergencies? When you’re in a remote location, far from medical facilities, expertise in emergency response can be the difference between a close call and a disaster.
Our trips come with comprehensive insurance coverage. This means that in the event of an emergency, all necessary medical evacuations and treatments are covered. With local providers, you might end up with significant out-of-pocket expenses if they lack the proper insurance.

Case 1
Here is an example of a 30-year-old male who badly broke his arm in a very remote part of Nepal. Immediate helicopter evacuation was required, with approval from the Nepali army. This was followed by meticulous coordination with the local hospital, the insurer, and the individual’s family back home. Thanks to our comprehensive planning and experienced team, he received timely medical care and avoided a potentially disastrous situation.
Case 2
A 24-year-old male* suffered a lacerated spleen in a remote part of Nepal. Due to required permits and strong winds, helicopter evacuation was not possible until the following day. Careful planning and management were essential to ensure his safety. The traveler ultimately spent 10 days in the ICU, highlighting the critical importance of proper preparation and skilled intervention in remote medical emergencies.
