Travel Insurance & Health Insurance is not optional.
It is the responsibility of each guest to ensure their medical travel insurance covers all potential expenses incurred should medical assistance and/or evacuation is required.
We strongly recommend that all our guests take out a comprehensive travel insurance for the length of their trip; this should cover cancellations, medical expenses, evacuation and emergency repatriation, as well as any additional expenses incurred due to unforeseen circumstances.
Actually you will be safer on your trek in the Indian Himalayas than on the roads of many parts of the world, but insurance does not cost much and is a worthwhile precaution. Coverage should include air flights, including charters.

Access to medical assistance:
While good hospitals with modern healthcare facilities are available at all the major cities of India, however the smaller cities usually lack high standard of healthcare.
This means, at times there could be a delay is hospitalization if you are travelling or staying at smaller cities during your trip.
