RECOMMENDED INSURANCE

CANCELLATION INSURANCE

Heliski Consultants Ltd highly recommends that you buy cancellation insurance for your Heliski trip and your flight ticket! This insurance must cover your trip if you become ill, or have other valid reasons for not being able to come on the trip. We highly recommend your insurance covers missed International flights due to circumstances beyond your control, such as bad weather keeping you from making your flight back home, local flight cancellations, bad weather keeping the helicopter from flying you back to the base, natural disasters, earthquakes, flooding, rioting, protests, etc. That said, HSC will do its best to assist you under any and all circumstances to keep any delays from happening but we will not be responsible for the outcome caused by circumstances beyond our control. The insurance should also cover your trip in case Heliski Consultants Ltd has to cancel due to circumstances beyond our control, such as no snow, severe avalanche conditions, bad weather, helicopter problems, pandemics, war, or natural disasters. Should Heliski Consultants Ltd have to cancel the trip, the 30% deposit is not refundable, so at the very least, you should ensure your deposit and your flight ticket, but we suggest you get 100% coverage in case the cancellation is on your behalf, as Heliski Consultants Ltd does not allow refunds 10 weeks prior to departure. You can either get this insurance from your travel agent, personal insurance broker, or through the following Travel Insurance group. For example AXA, Europ Assistance or “cancel for any reason“- insurance from Global Rescue.

HEALTH INSURANCE

Heliski Consultants Ltd does not carry health, life, or injury insurance for our skiers. It is required that you carry your own personal health & injury insurance and you provide proof of this before starting the trip. Heliski Consultants Ltd requires you to carry insurance for life and health care risks. Be sure that it covers you for your heliski trip to Nepal.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION INSURANCE

In the case of injury to skiers, helicopter ambulance expenses will be charged to the injured party. We recommend that everyone carry evacuation insurance.

PERSONAL PROPERTY INSURANCE

We also recommend that your personal belongings be also insured against loss. Your homeowner’s insurance may not be enough. Make sure this insurance covers you while you are in Nepal.
