Do I need travel and medical insurance for Bhutan?

Yes, comprehensive travel and medical insurance is strongly recommended. Your policy should cover:

• Medical treatment
• Emergency evacuation (including helicopter evacuation)
• Trekking and adventure activities

Do make sure that it covers Bhutan.
If you are trekking, your policy should explicitly include High-Altitude Emergency Evacuation. Standard travel insurance policies often exclude activities above 2,500 or 3,000 meters, which makes them insufficient for most treks in Bhutan.

For any trek involving high mountain passe, your insurance policy must cover search and rescue (SAR) and medical evacuation up to 6,000 meters (approx. 19,700 feet).

Recommended Coverage Features : When shopping for a policy for Bhutan, ensure it includes:

• Emergency Medical Evacuation: Minimum of $100,000 USD.
• Medical Repatriation: To fly you back to your home country if needed.
