Health & Safety

Medical Information

Prior to travel, please make sure you look into any recommended immunizations for your time in India. Given that we are not a licensed healthcare provider, we cannot advise travelers on which immunizations they may need. We recommend that all travelers do the following:


• Travel Doctor: Consult with a travel clinic or your primary care physician regarding immunizations or other precautions you may need to take in order to participate in this journey. You will need to do this well in advance of your trip as some vaccinations require time to take effect, and you may need to allow time between a series of shots.

• Resources for Health Guidance: Please consult with a travel clinic or your personal physician and read through the following resources for information on immunizations and other health preparations and individual requirements to travel to India.



• Medical Insurance Reminder: The evacuation insurance that Elevate Destinations will secure for you does not include medical insurance. All travelers are recommended to also have health insurance that will cover them while in India, so please check if your current health insurance does, or consider purchasing a supplemental policy. 


• Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP)

We recommend that all travelers from the U.S. sign up for the U.S. State Department’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). This is a FREE service provided by the U.S. Government to U.S. citizens who are traveling to, or living in, a foreign country. STEP allows you to enter information about your upcoming trip abroad so that the Department of State can better assist you in case of an emergency. Enrolling in this program has enormous benefits in case of an emergency while abroad:


You will receive information from the Embassy about safety conditions in your destination.

Enrolling lets the U.S. Embassy in that country know that you are there and helps them contact you in an emergency, whether natural disaster, civil unrest, or family-related.
