Everything you need to know about the Tracer M3 satellite GPS tracker for trekking.
The Tracer M3 is a professional-grade satellite communicator and GPS tracker designed specifically for trekking and mountaineering. It uses dual GPS/BDS (BeiDou) satellite positioning to provide real-time location tracking in areas with no mobile signal, including deep Himalayan valleys and high-altitude terrain above 6,000m.
The Tracer M3 communicates via satellite — not cellular networks. It uses the BeiDou and GPS satellite constellations to transmit your real-time location directly to HGN's 24/7 command center, even in the most remote areas of the Himalayas where there is zero mobile coverage.
The Tracer M3 has an extended battery life of up to 240 hours (10 days) of continuous tracking. This is more than enough for standard Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Circuit, and Manaslu Circuit treks without access to charging points.
Yes. The Tracer M3 is built for extreme Himalayan conditions. It operates in temperatures as low as -30°C and features rugged, weather-resistant housing engineered to withstand Himalayan storms, rain, and altitude pressure.
Press and hold the dedicated SOS button on the Tracer M3. Within seconds, HGN's 24/7 command center is notified with your exact GPS coordinates. The team immediately initiates rescue coordination — dispatching helicopter operators, contacting Alpine Rescue Service, and managing all logistics without requiring upfront payment from you.
Yes. The Tracer M3, combined with HGN's platform, lets you share a live tracking link with family and friends. They can monitor your location in real-time from anywhere in the world, giving them peace of mind throughout your trek.
The Tracer M3 device is available as a rental included with CTG insurance plans. When you purchase a CTG plan with device, the Tracer M3 is provided for the duration of your trek and returned to HGN upon completion. No purchase required.
The Tracer M3 is suitable for all trekking routes in Nepal, but is especially valuable on high-altitude and remote routes: Everest Base Camp (EBC), Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna Base Camp (ABC), Manaslu Circuit, Langtang Valley, Upper Mustang, and Mera Peak or Island Peak expeditions.
