Trekked Annapurna solo and my family back home could see my live location the whole time. The SOS button on the tracer is the reason I felt safe going alone.
Anna Kowalski
Solo Traveler
I've led over forty groups above 5,000m. Every one of my trekkers now carries the HGN device — it's the fastest rescue coordination I've seen in the Himalayas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about trekking insurance and GPS tracking in Nepal.
Still have questions? Contact usHGN (Himalayan Guardian Nepal) is a comprehensive travel safety platform integrating insurance, GPS satellite tracking, emergency rescue coordination, and 24/7 operations into one closed-loop safety ecosystem for trekkers and mountaineers in Nepal.
CTG (Comprehensive Tourism Guard) is a complete travel safety system designed for high-risk and remote travel environments. It integrates prevention, real-time GPS monitoring, emergency alerts, helicopter rescue coordination, medical pathways, and insurance support into one operational system — not just a policy on paper.
While not universally mandated by national law for every trek, travel insurance is strongly expected for high-altitude and restricted-area treks and is often required by trekking agencies. Many routes above 4,000m and permit areas now expect valid insurance coverage.
CTG plans start from $8 per trip, making them one of the most affordable comprehensive trekking safety solutions in Nepal. Higher-tier plans covering greater altitudes, longer durations, and premium GPS devices are available up to $500.
Yes. Himalayan Guardian includes the Tracer M3 — a professional-grade satellite GPS tracker with dual GPS/BDS positioning, 240-hour battery life, SOS button, and -30°C cold resistance. It works in areas without mobile signal via satellite communication.
Any international trekker, hiker, or mountaineer visiting Nepal — from first-timers doing Annapurna Base Camp to experienced mountaineers on Everest or Manaslu. It is especially essential for solo trekkers, those going above 4,000m, and anyone in remote areas with limited mobile coverage.
No. CTG complements your existing travel insurance by adding the critical ground-level layer: real-time GPS tracking, direct rescue coordination with helicopter operators, and no-upfront-payment evacuation — services that international insurers cannot provide on the ground in Nepal.
Yes. CTG plans can be purchased online at himalayanguardian.com or in person at HGN offices in Thamel, Kathmandu — provided your trek has not yet started.
