2. Google Maps – For Navigation, Reviews & Offline Access

No matter where you're going, Google Maps remains essential:

• Find directions in unfamiliar cities

• Download offline maps for remote areas

• Check reviews of eateries, hotels, and attractions

• Explore walking, driving, or public transport routes

Pro Tip: Save your full route before starting a hill station or forest journey where mobile networks may drop.

3. Google Keep or Notion – For Trip Planning & Checklists

Instead of juggling notebooks, use:

• Google Keep: Quick notes, reminders, checklists

• Notion: Full trip planners, day-by-day plans, group travel management

Great for both solo travellers and group coordinators.

At Trip Today India, we often use these tools while building trip plans for families and large groups.

4. IRCTC Rail Connect / Where Is My Train – For Train Travel

For budget or scenic travel, trains are often the best choice.

Use:

• IRCTC Rail Connect: Book tickets, get seat availability

• Where Is My Train: Live train status, platform numbers, delays

We suggest these for Himachal, Rajasthan, Kerala, and North East circuits.

5. AccuWeather or IMD Weather App – For Real-Time Weather Updates

Weather changes fast in places like the Himalayas or Western Ghats.

Before finalizing your itinerary or choosing between beach or hill trip, check:

• Forecasts for rainfall, snow, temperature swings

• Storm or landslide alerts (especially in monsoon)

IMD also gives region-specific warnings — very helpful for monsoon road trips.

6. Trip Today India’s Blogs & Tools – Bonus for Smart Travel

We constantly update our app and platform with:

• Budget travel hacks

• Local food trails

• Custom tour packages

• Family-friendly tips

• Travel checklists

• Cab booking advice without naming ride-hailing giants

Everything we share is tailored to Indian realities — not Western-style travel fantasies.

There are thousands of travel apps, but only a few truly serve Indian needs. Instead of relying on overloaded platforms or pushing expensive packages, trust tools that simplify travel.
