planned by you, not an agency

Skip the famous one.
Go where it's actually good.

Second-choice valleys, side-street guesthouses and the local bus nobody tells you about. Set your money and your month — every price on the site rewrites itself around you.

Activity · trekking & hiking

Twenty-seven treks, graded honestly

Easy means a fit beginner in running shoes. Medium means you own boots. Hard means altitude, cold and a real chance of turning back. Permits come first, because a permit you didn't know about is a trek you don't do.

Temple trips, done cheaply and done right

Two things ruin a temple trip and both are avoidable: arriving without the booking that had to be made sixty days ago, and paying an operator for a bus you could have taken yourself for a tenth of the price.

How to do this yourself

Method, routes and receipts. No sponsored posts, no "10 dreamy destinations", and every figure carries the month it was checked.

Image slots

Where to paste your photos

249 named slots. Paste a URL into any of them and the picture appears across the whole site straight away — no file editing needed until you are ready to make it permanent.

The one-click option

Press "Auto-fill from Wikipedia" below. The site pulls real photographs of each place straight from Wikimedia Commons — no account, no key, no cost — and fills every empty slot it can. About 30 seconds for all of India. Anything it can't find keeps its illustration.

Before you publish commercially, check each photo's licence on Commons. Most are CC-BY or CC-BY-SA and need a credit line; a few are more restrictive. The Search Wikimedia link on each row takes you to the file page where the licence is stated.

Or do it by hand

  1. Find a picture. Use the three search links on each row — Wikimedia, Pexels, Unsplash. All free. Or use your own photo, or generate one with the prompt provided.
  2. Get its URL. On Wikimedia or Unsplash, right-click the full-size image → Copy image address. For your own photos, upload to Cloudinary, Imgur, GitHub or your own host first.
  3. Paste it into the box on that row. The picture appears immediately, everywhere on the site. Your entries are saved in this browser, so you can stop and come back.
  4. When you're done, hit "Copy IMAGES block" and paste it over the window.IMAGES = { … }; block near the top of the HTML file. That makes it permanent for everyone, not just your browser.

You don't have to do all 249. Any slot you leave empty keeps its illustration, and the site still looks finished. Start with the hero of the ten places you care most about.

One route a week

A trek, a temple circuit or a border crossing — what it costs this month, and the place next to it nobody sends you to.
