Travel insurance
Choose a policy that explicitly covers the altitudes, motorcycle use, trekking or adventure activities on your itinerary, including medical evacuation where appropriate.
Medical preparation
Discuss heart, lung, blood-pressure, pregnancy or other relevant conditions with a qualified clinician. Carry enough prescription medicine for delays.
Road safety
Use seat belts where fitted, helmets on motorcycles and never stand through a sunroof. Do not pressure the driver to recover a late start with speed.
Emergency communication
Carry offline contacts for hotels, driver, operator and insurance. Share the route with family and tell the driver immediately when a traveller feels unwell.
Security awareness
Follow local administration instructions, keep identification accessible and avoid photographing military installations or entering unapproved border tracks.
Roads, government procedures, mobile arrangements, prices and weather change. Reconfirm close to departure through official authorities and your registered local operator.
