Am I covered for hiking up to Everest Base Camp?

Fast Cover Travel Insurance does not automatically cover you for hiking to Everest Base Camp. If you plan to hike up to the Everest Base Camp, you must purchase the optional Adventure Pack as an add-on to your Fast Cover Travel Insurance policy and meet specific policy conditions.

Cover for hiking or trekking peaking at an altitude between 3,000 and 6,000 metres, including to Everest Base Camp, is only available if you purchase the Adventure Pack and do not require specialist climbing equipment. Please refer to What is considered specialist climbing equipment? - Fast Cover FAQs for what we considered as a specialist climbing equipment.

Please note that you will not be covered for hiking to Everest Base Camp if you do not purchase the Adventure Pack, and the trek involves mountaineering, technical climbing, and hiking above 6,000 metres.
