Emergency Support:
All our mountain expeditions will have two-way walkie-talkies and a satellite phone link to our Kathmandu Office. All our treks report their progress on a daily basis to the Office in Kathmandu. Any trekker getting problem due to high altitude sickness or physical injuries, we will provide an emergency support. If it prevents them continuing on the trek, we are able to operate a rescue flight by a helicopter immediately.
However, such flights can sometimes delay due to severe weather and are dependent on your individual insurance arrangements. We strongly advise you to buy an insurance policy in your home country that covers accidents, medication and helicopter rescue. Though with our company such problems are highly unlikely, whatever happens on a trek we promise to provide care in adversity as if you were family!
