About RoamWise
Built in a hill town in Uttarakhand by one person who got tired of bad travel data

Most travel apps are built in cities by people who last took a bus five years ago. RoamWise is built in Almora — a Kumaoni hill town in the Himalayas. The local transport times, auto-rickshaw rates, and seasonal crowd data are checked against reality, not scraped from aggregators.

Solo indie product by Mohit Pandey. No VC money, no affiliate hotel commissions, no incentive to make anything look cheaper or more convenient than it is.

🏢 No affiliate hotels
RoamWise earns nothing from hotel bookings. It recommends what works, not what pays commission.
📈 Crowd data from the ground
Crowd calendars are built from on-the-ground research, cross-referenced with public transport booking data.
🏠 Made in Almora
Every Himalayan price and road time has been verified within a day’s drive of where it was written.
