Let's look at why you need travel insurance when visiting Nepal:
In a country like Nepal, getting international travel insurance is crucial because of the many adventure activities you are bound to indulge in. In the event of any accident or hospitalisation resulting from these activities, travel insurance with adventure sports coverage will significantly benefit. Digit’s International Travel Insurance provides adventure activities coverage (provided it’s for a day).
Nepal experiences natural disasters like earthquakes, avalanches, landslides, floods and the like, which are dangerous for travellers. Not just that, there is also a prevalence of water-borne diseases in the country, which can hamper your stay. If your flight is delayed, hotel or flight bookings bounce, you lose your baggage, passport or personal belongings, need to be evacuated or require emergency assistance, then international travel insurance from Digit can be a great benefit.
Whilst comparing travel quotes from different insurance companies, make sure you are aware of the following:
The medical benefits available and the Sum Insured limit for each.
The terms and conditions can be tricky and hard to come by. Read the fine print carefully.
The claims process by checking the company's previous claim records. After all, that's the whole point of insurance.
Nepal is a multi-ethnic country with multi-dimensional culture located on the southern slopes of the Himalayan mountain range.

If you are planning your next vacation to Nepal, know that a visa to travel to Nepal is not required for Indian passport holders. However, to enter the country, you must carry proper documents issued by the Government of India or the Election Commission of India. This means Indian citizens can travel to Nepal by carrying their valid passports or other supporting documents.
Here are a few essential safety precautions that one must follow upon visiting Nepal:
Ensure keeping passport, money, any valuables and important documents in a secure place.
Make sure to enrol with authorised agencies for trekking and mountaineering. Let the authority know if there is any medical condition, like altitude sickness, etc., beforehand.
Refrain from carrying a large amount of cash and wearing expensive pieces of jewellery publicly to avoid unnecessary attention.
If you are planning to stay in Nepal for a comparatively longer time, ensure to get yourself registered with Nepal’s embassy or consulate.
Avoid visiting places which are forbidden.
Ensure to take note of the registration number of the cab that you have hired.
Make sure to follow all traditions and customs of the place you are visiting.
Avoid the Maoist-infested areas.
