About the project
Planning outdoor adventures often requires coordinating destinations, itineraries, accommodations, participant registrations, transportation, and safety information across multiple tools. This fragmented process increases administrative effort and reduces the overall customer experience. Garkal was developed as a centralized adventure tourism platform that enables travelers to discover hiking expeditions, compare adventure packages, book trips, and receive real-time travel updates. Tour organizers gain comprehensive tools to create hiking packages, manage bookings, coordinate participants, and communicate important trip information throughout the journey. The platform combines itinerary management, interactive maps, booking workflows, notifications, and organizer dashboards into a seamless experience that improves operational efficiency while delivering a better travel experience.
