Global Rescue
We require that all of our clients have an insurance plan in place that includes helicopter evacuation in the plan.  There are no roads in or out of the Everest Region and the only way out is by walking or helicopter.  Make sure you have a good policy in place if you have an accident or injury.  Unfortunately, there has been a lot of fraudulent behavior from helicopter companies over the years in Nepal.  They have been found to be scamming on insurance calms over the past decade in the Everest Region. This makes getting insurance and real rescues harder for everyone else.  We use <anchor>Global Rescue</anchor> for our Helicopter evacuation cover. They have doctors on the ground in Kathmandu and will quickly assess you over the phone if you really need evacuation from the region.

# Where do I get Helicopter Evacuation Cover for my Trekking Adventure

Where do I get Helicopter Evacuation Cover for my Trekking Adventure.  There are lots of opinions out there, but you need local knowledge, logistics and know you will be taken care of in a professional manor. Ian Taylor Trekking recommend Global Rescue services. **Evacuation cover starts from $169** [**CLICK HERE**](https://ss.globalrescue.com/partner/iantaylortrekking/index.html) for further information on policy and pricing. There is an additional charge if you are joining a trek or expedition above 4,600m/ 15,000 feet.

### Make sure your trip insurance includes elevation coverage.

We recommend Global Rescue, whose High-Altitude Evacuation Package add-on ensures medical transport services for members traveling above 4,600 meters (15,000 feet) during any part of their trip (excluding airplane travel) and who require emergency transport due to injury or illness.  **[Learn More](https://partner.globalrescue.com/iantaylortrekking/)**.

### Thinking about going Into Thin Air? Seeing the Snows of Kilimanjaro? Touching the Void? Make sure you’re covered.

Be certain to protect yourself on your high-altitude climb by including Global Rescue’s High-Altitude Evacuation Package add-on. It’s protection that provides medical transport services to Global Rescue members who travel above 15,000 feet or 4,600 meters at any point during their trip (excluding airplane travel) and who require emergency transport due to injury or illness.  **[Learn More](https://partner.globalrescue.com/iantaylortrekking/)**.

### Global Rescue High-Altitude Protection

Traditional insurance usually won’t rescue you at any altitude, and a medical evacuation can cost up to $300,000. It’s important that our clients are covered.  That’s why we’ve partnered with Global Rescue, whose High-Altitude Evacuation Package provides rescue and evacuation services to members who travel above 15,000 feet (4,600 meters) during any part of their trip (excluding airplane travel) and who require emergency transport due to injury or illness. Without Global Rescue, your travel emergency could take longer, cost more — and make a dangerous situation a lot worse.  **[Learn More](https://partner.globalrescue.com/iantaylortrekking/)**.

### **Important Things to Know About your Global Rescue Membership**

Global Rescue **is not an insurance company**. We are a membership organization that provides advisory, rescue and evacuation services. Global Rescue must be contacted

at the time of an incident and we are unable to reimburse members for any rescue not organized but Global Rescue. (If Global Rescue organizes and/or performs the rescue and the criteria below are met, there is no cost to the member up to $500,000.)

### **No, there are no Restrictions on Elevation or the use of Technical Climbing Equipment**

For Global Rescue to cover the costs of a medical evacuation, the member must be ill or injured and require in-patient hospitalization. This determination is made by Global

Rescue’s medical team at the time of an incident. Global Rescue will never deny services to a member in need.  However, in cases where this threshold is not met the member will be responsible for the cost of the evacuation. Global Rescue may ask the member for a credit card to cover the cost of services requested for transports of convenience. Communication is critical in any back country or wilderness  rescue situation. Global Rescue strongly recommends that members carry or have access to a satellite phone.

### **The Global Rescue Emergency Number is 1.617.459.4200**

This number can be pre-programmed into the phone and it is helpful to let your partners and/or guides know that you have our service. It is also important to carry spare batteries for any extended trip.
