Why trekkers
choose WorldMore.
We built this policy by talking to guides, mountaineers, and expedition leaders. Every clause exists for a reason.
Helicopter Rescue
Helicopter rescue is included under medical expenses where medically necessary. A £500 excess applies for helicopter rescue in Nepal.
Trekking up to 7,000m
Cover includes trekking and hiking up to 7,000m automatically. Routes from 5,000m to 7,000m must be guided.
Emergency Medical Cover
Up to £10 million in medical cover if you are injured or fall ill abroad, including hospital treatment, specialist care, and recovery expenses.
24/7 Emergency Assistance
Our emergency assistance team is available around the clock, every day of the year, wherever you are in the world.
Pre-Existing Conditions
Declaring pre-existing conditions to include them in your cover is optional. If you choose not to, cover remains in place for unrelated incidents and medical conditions.

Trekking cover built into every policy, with no add-ons or extras required.
Trekking Travel Insurance
Our trekking travel insurance is purpose-built for high-altitude expeditions and multi-day routes above 3,000 metres. Whether you are heading to Everest Base Camp, summiting Kilimanjaro, or crossing the Annapurna Circuit, your policy includes emergency medical expenses, helicopter evacuation, and altitude sickness treatment.
Standard travel insurance typically excludes altitudes above 2,500 to 3,000 metres, leaving trekkers uninsured precisely when the risks increase. WorldMore covers you up to 7,000 metres as standard across all policies.
Built for remote terrain
Trekking routes in Nepal, Peru, Tanzania, and Patagonia often mean days away from the nearest hospital. If you are injured or develop altitude sickness on the trail, helicopter rescue is included under medical expenses where medically necessary. A £500 excess applies for helicopter rescue in Nepal. Our 24/7 assistance team is available to support urgent medical situations in major trekking regions.
Your policy also covers:
- Trip cancellation if you are unable to travel due to an insured event
- Emergency medical treatment for AMS, HACE, and HAPE at any altitude
- Trips of up to 12 months with no limit on countries visited
