Why You Need International Travel Medical Insurance in Kathmandu
Hospital costs in Nepal for uninsured foreign travelers are billed at full private rates — with no network discount, no insurance negotiation, and often upfront payment required before treatment. A single hospitalization runs $400–$1,800/day. Emergency evacuation out of Kathmandu costs $30,000–$80,000.
Hospital / Day

Top Health Risks in Kathmandu
altitude sickness (even Kathmandu at 4,600 ft can cause symptoms), trekking injuries in Himalayas, helicopter evacuation from remote peaks, foodborne illness, road accidents, and air pollution
Who Needs Coverage in Kathmandu
Business Traveler
Employer health plans rarely cover international emergencies in Nepal. One hospitalization wipes out the entire trip ROI.
Tourist & Leisure Traveler
Adventure activities, unfamiliar food, and new environments elevate risk in Kathmandu. Coverage starts from $1/day.
Expat & Long-Stay Visitor
Extended stays in Nepal require coverage that lasts — most domestic plans cap at 30 days abroad.
Senior Traveler
Medicare provides zero international coverage. Seniors face the highest medical risk abroad and need the highest limits.
