Local authorities do not require high-altitude insurance for Mount Ararat, meaning you can climb without insurance. However, this does not mean that insurance is unnecessary. We recommend obtaining insurance for high-altitude climbs. We offer you two free insurances: one is Incoming Travel Health Insurance, and the other is Tour Cancellation Insurance, which provides coverage when the tour is not cancelled and refunds your tour fee in the event of cancellation, but you should be aware that this insurance does not cover high altitudes and only covers the city and transportation sections of the tour. We strongly advise against trusting companies that do not explain their insurance on their websites, as all legal companies organising tours and climbs in Turkey are required to offer this insurance and cannot describe it as “Climbing insurance” or “High-altitude insurance.” In addition to this free insurance, if you wish to obtain high-altitude insurance, you can explore our partner Global Rescue’s online insurance options.
