Trip Cancellation Insurance
As there are many unforeseen circumstances that may occur during or leading up to the trip, we highly recommend trip cancellation insurance.
In many situations, this may be the only way to receive a refund for unused services.
In brief, trip cancellation insurance may allow you to get reimbursement if you need to cancel your expedition when you are not entitled to a refund from Alpine Ascents.
Alpine Ascents International offers a plan in conjunction with our travel insurance partner.
Our climb was awesome! Better than I expected, and respected social distancing well. Our guides were effective leaders and well experienced. I mean, where else are you going to find a guide with multiple trips up Everest? So grateful for their experience and clear direction.
