Hi everyone, 

It's been my dad's dream to trek in Nepal for the past 50+ years and we're finally looking like it might be a possibility. Unfortunately he has some rather difficult health conditions including cancer.

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for insurance companies that might cover him above 5000M and with complicated pre-existing conditions?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Go for it.

We used 'All Clear Insurance.' It wasn't cheap - but we got the holiday done.

Places like Macmillan, and Maggie's Centres, will be able to provide you with a list of possible providers.

Good luck. I hope you manage it.

In reply to oli1347: Sportscover Direct might be worth a look. Or look into getting Global Rescue cover and use their associated insurance company.
