Booking a local expert in three steps
Choose
Pick your place and browse local experts. Every one is DigiLocker-verified before they can list, so you see a real person with a real profile.
Chat and book
Message to confirm the plan and price. Add an emergency contact in the app if you want check-ins. They are only contacted if a check-in goes unresolved.
Meet and go
Meet your local expert and explore. If a check-in is missed, Bhavrah follows up before anyone else is notified.
What a local expert can show you
Every local expert picks what they offer, so you know exactly what you are booking.
City walks and food trails
Lanes, markets, cafes and kitchens picked by someone who actually lives there.
Culture and village visits
Temples, forts, orchards and family kitchens, with the story that signs do not tell.
Treks and day hikes
Route, pace and weather calls from a guide who knows the mountain, not just the map.
Climbing and bouldering
Rakchham-style bouldering: where to go, what is in condition, where to park and sleep.
Hangouts and company
A coffee, a walk or a meal with a local, for travellers who would rather not explore alone.
Day trips and weekend escapes
Plan a day out, such as Chandigarh to Kasauli or Manali to Solang, around traffic and weather.
Meet locals and find buddies, no booking needed
Meeting locals is free. Find other travellers heading to the same place on the same dates, and share the cab, the trail and the day. Explore the places with locals on the Manali, Sangla Valley and Chandigarh pages.
Verified before they can host
Every local expert goes through DigiLocker identity verification before they can list. Ratings come from real travellers, not paid reviews. The same Safety Grid backs every trip. See the Safety page for the full picture.
