Travel Insurance for Bhutan from India

Travel Insurance for Bhutan provides financial safeguard, offering a vital safety net against unexpected incidents. Key coverage areas include Medical emergencies, especially with the added complexity of Emergency Medical Evacuation (EVE) in Bhutan's remote, mountainous terrain, and eventual Repatriation. Furthermore, comprehensive coverage protects your trip by covering non-refundable costs associated with Trip Cancellation, Interruption, and Delay. It also extends to cover unforeseen issues, such as lost or Delayed Checked Baggage, and the costs involved in replacing a Lost Passport or Travel Document.

While international travel insurance is no longer mandatory for Indian visitors to Bhutan, it remains highly recommended. The unique environmental factors of the country, specifically the high-altitude terrain and the associated risk of altitude sickness, along with the limited availability of advanced medical facilities outside of major centres, make a travel policy an ideal choice.
