With the Char Dham Yatra set to commence in April and registrations running into lakhs each season, risk preparedness along the Himalayan corridor has become increasingly critical. High-altitude terrain, volatile weather conditions, landslides and crowd-related incidents continue to expose pilgrims to medical and logistical emergencies — where a single air evacuation can cost between ₹8–20 lakh.
Asego has reinforced its support for yatris with Pilgrim Protect, a specialised travel assistance and insurance solution designed specifically for high-risk pilgrimage routes.
The product provides 24/7 emergency medical assistance and evacuation support, coverage for accidental incidents including stampede-related injuries and emergency air transfers, protection against high-altitude illness, trip delay coverage due to natural calamities, and medical expense cover for trekking-related mishaps.
Dev Karvat, Founder & CEO of Asego, said pilgrimage travel requires structured emergency response systems. “Preparedness is no longer optional — it is a responsibility,” he noted.
The initiative enables travel partners to offer faith-based journeys backed by real-time risk protection and medical support mechanisms.
