Why buy travel insurance when going hiking?

If getting off the grid to wander through changing landscapes, exploring local villages or trekking a mountain pass sounds like your ideal adventure, then don’t forget to pack your travel insurance. Whether you’re heading up Kilimanjaro, to Base Camp or out for a Sunday stroll, World Nomads travel insurance can help you and your family when an unexpected accident tries to derail your next hiking trip. An optional adventure sports upgrade may be required based on what you're doing and the highest altitude of your trek.
