Travel insurance does a number of things. It can protect the trip cost, as well as provide medical coverage on the trip, trip delay, baggage delay, baggage loss and a number of other important coverages.

Any time you leave the country, travel insurance is a must. This would apply to any person of any age and on any trip. Traveling to a foreign country with no medical coverage can be a life altering devastating experience. The cost of travel insurance (when the trip cost is low) is typically very cheap but ciritcal. Medicare and many US based health insurance plans will not provide adequate medical coverage while traveling outside of the U.S.

In the last 6 months, missed connections, baggage loss, baggage delay and trip delay are up over 57%. Having coverage for all these potential scenarios is crucial. Travel insurance is powerful for many reasons- it can protect you financially, protect you medically and also protect you against the inconveniences of modern day travel.

 

Top 3 Things to Do in Nepal

From trekking through the Himalayas to exploring historic cities, wildlife safaris, and adrenaline-filled rafting, mountain biking and kayaking, Nepal has an incredible range of activities, experiences and adventures. It can be difficult to know where to begin with so many options. There’s always something new to discover, whether you’re a regular visitor or a first timer.

1. Trekking Through the Himalayas

Nepal is synonymous with trekking. Trips are easy to organize, and there are a wide range of trails to choose from. These range from self-guided day trips to epic multi-week excursions. The Himalayan landscape is spectacular – Nepal has eight of the ten tallest mountains in the world – but also offers a fascinating look into the cultures of the highlands.

 

2. Visit the birthplace of Buddha

 

 

Siddhartha, who became the Buddha in 563 BCE was born in Lumbini on the western Terai. The Maya Devi Temple is located on the spot. It is named after his mom and is believed to date back 2200 years. It is the holiest Buddhist site, along with Bodhgaya, in India, where Buddha found enlightenment.

The Maya Devi Temple forms part of a vast complex that includes temples built by Buddhist groups around the world, including China and Cambodia. It also includes gardens, a cultural center and museum, and a pagoda of peace.

 

3. Explore the Kathmandu Valley

 

 

The medieval architecture of Kathmandu’s historic quarters and those of the nearby cities of Patan (also known as Lalitpur, “City of Beauty”), and Bhaktapur is world renowned. Durbar Squares are lined with palaces, temples and shrines that have been restored or well-preserved, despite the 2015 earthquake. Together, they form a Unesco world heritage site, along with several Buddhist and Hindu monuments and temples in the Kathmandu Valley. Unbelievable adventure!
