One product · two halves

Plan it here. Walk it with the app.

Every trek on this website is the same record the Kashmir Explorer app carries — one catalogue, one Official Route, one set of numbers. What the app adds is everything that has to work when the signal doesn’t.

The app is on its way to the stores. The whole catalogue is already here.

What runs where

Nothing on this list is a marketing claim: it is the matrix the website was built against. If a row says “on the web”, the website does it with the same backend data the app uses.

Why the app can’t be a web page

Offline navigation means the route, its checkpoints, its safety notes and a corridor of map tiles are already on your phone before you leave the road — and that the device keeps recording your position with the screen off, in a valley with no signal, for a week. A browser tab cannot promise any of that, so this website does not pretend to. It gives you everything you need to decide and to prepare, and hands the walk itself to the app.
