There aren’t many people who get excited about researching insurance so I thought I’d take a minute and explain some Travel Insurance thoughts and options and try to answer a few common questions.
IMG recommends that all trip participants consider Cancellation Insurance. There are countless reasons why it may be necessary to cancel your trip (sick child, flight delayed, accidental injury, etc.) so weigh the options and as always read the fine print. Note that if you enroll within 21 days (with Travelex) of your registration for an IMG Program, coverage for certain pre-existing medical conditions may be waived.
IMG recommends Travelex. Specifically many of our customers find that Travelex’s ‘Travel Select‘ coverage fits their requirements, with both primary and comprehensive coverage. Best of all, Travel Select allows for complete customization with upgrades including “Lifestyle Paks”, “Cancel for Any Reason Pak” and “Transportation Pak”. Costs range from under $100 to a several hundred dollars for our more expensive climbs and treks.
For more info and to see current coverage plans and rates, please visit Travelex at: www.travelex-insurance.com
Please note that if you do purchase travel insurance through Travelex IMG’s location number is #47-0050

People ask me – “Why go to Bhutan?”
Additionally, treks like the one we do in Bhutan give us an opportunity to share the experience with a spouse, friend, son or daughter who may not have the mountaineering skills required for many more involved trips. Add to all this the fact that a country like Bhutan sees a much smaller number of tourists than many other locations. And talk about exotic, I can’t think of many locals higher on the ‘exotic’ scale than Bhutan. Add it all up and you’ve got the makings for a great adventure (
I drove the team to the Paradise Parking Lot in Mt. Rainier National Park yesterday in very winter like conditions… Not the Spring Easter we were hoping for. Some fresh snow was covering the freshly plowed parking lot as the team loaded the packs and rigged up the sleds… Into the snow they went.
