How we work out your route

We are not a booking site. We work out how a journey can actually be made, show you every sensible way to do it, and send you to the operator to book.

We read the real timetable: Train legs come from the published railway timetable — the actual train, its number, and the hours it takes. If no train runs between two places, we will not invent one.
Flights only where airlines fly: We check a route is actually operated before offering it. Where there is no non-stop, we route you through the hub an airline would, rather than pretending the flight exists.
Road distances are measured: Hill roads are measured along the road itself, not across the map. That is why a drive can read much longer here than the distance suggests — the mountains do not let you go where you are pointing.
The last mile is researched: Shared jeeps, first-light departures, where the road ends and the walking starts: no timetable holds any of this, so it comes from people who have made the journey.

Common questions

Do you sell tickets?: No. We work out how the journey can be made and what each way costs, then send you to IRCTC, the airline or the bus operator to book. We never take a payment.
Why is your route longer than the one I saw elsewhere?: Usually because the shorter one is not real. Mapping apps will happily draw a line between two airports with no flight between them, or a road that is closed for the season. Where the fast option does not exist we show the honest long way round instead.
Why is there no flight for my route?: Because no airline flies it non-stop, and connecting through a hub would take longer than the train. Most pairs of small Indian airports have no service between them — that is normal, not a gap in our data.
Are the prices what I will actually pay?: They are honest estimates, not quotes. Fares move with the season, the class and how far ahead you book. Use them to compare routes against each other, then check the live price on the operator’s site.
Can I plan from a small village?: Yes. Type any town in India, even one with no station of its own — we will find the railheads and airports near it and include the road to get there, rather than quietly pretending you start at the nearest city.
How do I know which parts to trust?: Every leg says where its numbers came from. Trains name the train. Road legs say when a time is an estimate. Anything above the roadhead should be confirmed with a local guide before you go.

Please read before you book

Prices are estimates, never quotes: Fares move with the season, the class and how late you book. Use our numbers to compare routes against each other, then check the live price before you commit.
Some routes are longer than they look: Where the fast option does not exist, we still show the honest long way round — a two-day train instead of a flight nobody operates. A long route is not a mistake; it is sometimes the only route.
Ask a local guide before a trek: For anything above the roadhead, talk to a registered guide or the local trekking agency first. Snow lines, river crossings and acclimatisation are judged on the day, not from a search result.
Permits and closures change without notice: Inner Line Permits, forest entry, seasonal road openings and army restrictions all change at short notice, and some valleys close entirely. Confirm with the district administration before travelling.

Routes, times and fares on this site are informational and provided without warranty. We are not the carrier and do not sell tickets, so we cannot be responsible for cancellations, delays, closures, or any loss arising from a journey planned here. Travel in the mountains carries risk that no website can assess for you — the final judgement about whether a route is safe on the day is yours, and it should be made with people who are there.
