History of life and general insurance in Nepal
History of general insurance in Nepal goes back to B.S.2005(1948
A.D.). Right from 1950 A.D.,a number of companies started their
operation in General insurance. Presently 15 companies are
transacting general insurance business. But start and growth of
life insurance has been very slow.
Life Insurance Corporation of India started life insurance
business in Nepal but its function was mostly confined to
Kathmandu city.
LIC stopped its operation in 1972 A.D. Life insurance business
was taken over by Rashtriya Beema Sansthan in B.S.2029 after its
incorporation on B.S. 2024/09/01 (16-12-1967 A.D.) and by
National life and General Insurance Company in
B.S.2045(1989A.D.) after its incorporation on B.S.2043/02/19
(2-6-1986)A.D.
The insurance activities were regulated by Insurance Act
2026(1969). The Act and the regulations were modified and new
Insurance Act and Regulations were enacted in 2049(1992). Beema
Samiti observes and regulates the insurance activities in Nepal
as per the provisions of Insurance Act 2049 and Insurance
regulations 2049.
Even though the performance of RBS has been impressive, the
reach and density of insurance has been very low even in
comparison with the insurance density in developing nations.

Travel and Holiday Insurance :
Adventure Specialist Trekking stress that you must take adequate
insurance, to cover your trip for every eventuality. This should
include the usual cover for baggage, personal possessions as
well as sickness liability. You also need to cover yourself for
the possibility of medical evacuation by helicopter. Don't
Panic! This is not common, but you need to be covered for every
eventuality, and cover for medical is required.
We can provide comprehensive insurance coverage from Nepalese
Registered Insurance Companies. Full details of insurance if
required from AST can be provided after a confirmed booking has

For those of you who would prefer to make their own insurance
arrangements, there are many reputable agencies that provide
this complete insurance at a very reasonable cost, and are often
much less than you would pay for travel and medical insurance,
bought as part of a typical package holiday, from the high
streets.
Don't forget to disclose, any expensive personal possessions
that you may take with you (e.g. camera equipment). You should
also disclose any significant past medical history, before you
leave the country, as we are all too aware of horror stories
concerning travelers who didn't.
Companies who provide this sort of complete insurance package,
advertise in walking and adventure travel magazines, all readily
available on the high street.
