What is Trekking, Mountain Walking, Hiking, Rambling, and Mountaineering Up To 3000M?

These activities involve walking in different terrains and altitudes, often on hiking trails or in mountainous areas. They range from light walking to more strenuous mountaineering, with the goal of reaching new heights and exploring natural landscapes. These activities are popular for their physical challenges and the opportunity to connect with nature.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for These Activities?

Yes. Trekking and related activities can result in injuries from slips, falls, or altitude sickness. If you’re traveling abroad for these activities, travel insurance helps protect you against medical expenses, lost equipment, and trip cancellations.
