What a Good Policy Should Cover
A decent travel policy for India should include medical treatment and hospitalisation, emergency evacuation, baggage cover, and trip cancellation. If you plan boat rides, cycling, or a day trip to Sarnath, check that these activities are not excluded.
Carry both a printed and digital copy of the policy, save the insurer’s 24-hour helpline in your phone, and know the nearest hospital to your stay — several private hospitals in Varanasi handle international travellers.
