As a hiking enthusiast, I’ve always found the planning part to be more of a headache than a joy. When my buddy Chinmay came back from the Indrahar Pass, he was buzzing about the trek but totally fed up with the chaos of finding trail info and reliable guides. It got me thinking—why does such an amazing experience come with so much hassle?
That’s when Cloud Hike popped into my head—a magical app that turns stressful planning into something exciting, like when we were kids counting down the days to our next big adventure!

Key Point
One key takeaway from my interviews is that many agree the whole process—choosing a trail, booking with a trusted agency, gathering the right gear, and coordinating travel—is overwhelming and stressful.
If something goes wrong, like forgetting necessary equipment or not preparing for the weather, it can really disrupt the trek.
