Travel Insurance for Everest View Luxury Trek

It's highly advised to obtain travel insurance and emergency evacuation coverage. This can protect you financially and provide aid in case of unexpected emergencies like accidents, illness, or natural disasters. Your travel insurance should ideally cover emergency medical expenses, trip cancellations or interruptions, and baggage loss or theft. Likewise, emergency evacuation coverage should include the costs of medical evacuation, possibly by helicopter, in case of severe injury or illness. It's crucial to carefully review your insurance policy to ensure it adequately covers your trek and to understand any terms, conditions, deductibles, or exclusions. Opt for a reliable insurance provider offering a 24-hour emergency hotline, and keep a copy of your insurance policy and emergency contact details handy during the trek.

Road and Transportation while Trekking Everest in Luxury

The road transport inside the Kathmandu valley will be via private vehicle. The roads, for the most part, are smooth. The 20-minute domestic flight to Lukla offers a scenic view of the Himalayas. You'll be walking approximately 4-5 hours daily on a gradually ascending trail, which is well-maintained, making it relatively easier than other trails. 

Health & Fitness for Lower Region Everest Luxury Trek

This trek, while less demanding than the conventional Everest Base Camp trek, requires moderate level of physical fitness and mental readiness. The trek reaches a peak altitude of 3,880 meters, so you should be mindful of potential altitude sickness. The itinerary allows adequate time to proper acclimatization, however, it's important to inform as soon as possible, in case of difficulty. You'll be hiking for 7 days for 2-6 hours on a variety of terrains, including steep inclines, rocky paths, and potential snow or ice. Therefore, we recommend you train for the trek with cardiovascular exercises, strength training, and hikes with weighted backpacks. Mental resilience and positivity are also crucial to navigate potential challenges like changing weather and altitude sickness, ensuring a fulfilling trekking experience.
