TrekTo.in – Adventure Weekend destination Guide

By Amol Ghemud on 31 Comments / 5145 views

We are up with launching page where users can register themselves through email id’s to be notified of site launch.

TrekTo.in is focusing on weekend destinations to unexplored mountains, valleys, caves, rivers and unfolded path etc. We are initially focusing on Maharashtra, will slowly expand in other states and overseas.

TrekTo.in will only list customized treks, river rafting, rappelling, and mountain biking and adventure events for outgoing people of all age groups. We will slowly focus on corporate tie-ups for their outdoor activities.

At TrekTo.in users can find info about adventure activities on preferred dates across preferred locations.

TrekTo.in will source info from trek groups to willing travelers. 

We are looking for suggestions from Rodinhooders on ”Idea development, Marketing strategy, Global launch, Users engagement and +/- sides of idea” so that we can make necessary changes before site launching. We are planning to incorporate private social platform for trekkers in second phase of development as well.

Thank you in advance.

Pls motivate us on FB at TrekTo.in

 Thanks

  1. hi amol,

    for some strange reason your site link is broken for me 🙁

    pls check!

  2. Thanks for reply .But its working perfectly..may be clearing cache history will work… 

  3. Links working for me. Tried in Safari and Chrome. 

  4. Thanks for checking Vinay Sir….

  5. why doesnt signup happen? It says “waiting” (chrome – Mac)

  7. Thanks for reply Alok sir

    i received your mail id..

  8. I just did…Tushky looks good..

    I am trying to focus more on niche market of adventure activity only..

  9. Change your servers where you have hosted them. Fails to load even after 2 minutes.. Firefox

  10. You need a new server, like asap! 

    Also, work on leveraging browser caching to make your landing page lightening fast else users & google will both hate to come on your site. 

    Also few more points : 

    – Better convey your message about what is Trekto in five words in first fold

    – Don’t even think about Global launch right now. Nail it, then scale it!

    – Give good enough content or reason or promise on landing page to provoke a visitor to submit his/her email 

    – Private social platform – ain’t nobody got time for that! Keep things simple, just focus on providing best experience

  11. Hey Amol,

    Few pointers:

    1) The webpage loaded quickly for me on chrome but the ‘Sign-up’ field is too bold, you might want to sober it up a bit!

    2) The first half of the page doesn’t give me anything about why should I sign-up; why make a potential customer scroll down when everything can fit in a single page properly! Express your start-up in less than 50 words and even better is if you can afford an explainer video.

    3) Look at launch page startups like: rocketstart.me, launchrock.co and see more examples about an effective landing page.

    For explainer video you can contact Praveen Kumar from http://www.opencreativs.com he is currently doing them for $99, he is on trhs.

    Best of luck and regards,

  12. Thank you Gaurav..

    Will ask webmaster about server issue..

    Was searching out for content developer but couldn’t find..so made it all by myself..now as you suggested will get professional help

    Will focus on India first 

    will try to keep it simple with rich experience 

  13. Thank you Ankit for reply..

    will work on sign up field

    in search for content writer for better massage..

    example gave you are real helpful..

    trying to cut cost as mush as possible..not thinking of video right now..

  14. I have been searching for a site / community like this one. Let’s see how it turns out!

    A few things on the page:

    1. All I see is an image, and a text box with a button? Why don’t you use text in about us?

    2. The image would either be larger than most screens (causing it to resize, which is an unnecessary bandwidth expense), or too small (which wouldn’t look good)

    A few tweaks, and you can save a few seconds in page load time.

  15. Thanks for reply Nishant…

    TrekTo.in will fulfill all requirements…

    working on your suggestions..

    launching site next month..

  16. Looking for a CO-FOUNDER (Strictly Mumbai based)

    You Can connect with Him if in Mumbai to work together,

    Also Check my comment on the post where I Have also mentioned some Active Rodinhoods in similar areas of Work to collaborate as well as below

    Get in touch with a few RodinHooders here in the Same field,

    Super Star Editor Asha Chaudhary for one is into the same Travel and Tourism Industry with her IndiaDecoded,

    Manish Golchha of Blissful Holidays & Travel, 

    Talvinder Singh of Tushky (Exotic activities and locations)

    also Yunus Dange as above of TheSkyonars (And Glorious Percept)  are the few names on the Fly that I could suggest off hand.

    Wishing you Good Luck on your Endeavor 🙂 Cheers!!

  17. Here are some Technical Pointers to help you on your site as well!!

    There is more than one copy of your site, it appears there is a problem with your site’s redirection of www or non-www

    There is a www and non-www copy of your site, one must redirect to the other

    Site Speed : Your site is faster than approximately 25% of websites. (That/s Good if it remains the same after adding more contents as well)

    Robots.txt : You don’t have a robots.txt file, search engines will assume it’s okay to index all of the pages on your site and other bots on the internet may not respect scraping certain pages of your site without a robots.txt (blocking your wp_admin login from being indexed is an example).

    Document Title : We don’t have enough data to be useful here.

    First H1 : Meta Description

    We don’t have enough data to be useful here.

    Meta Keywords : Not found

    Images & SEO : Not Found

    Do add your Contact coordinates (Email, Contact number) So we all (RodinHoods) can connect further as required to take things ahead!! Cheers!!

  21. Got apperciation from …

    StartupCentral.in

  22. Hi Amol,

    Usually I will drop by and comment about websites since I am a digital marketer but this time I want to be involved in what ever way possible with this website because I am a mountain biker too.

    Me and a bunch of my friends recently discovered a beautiful trail and I will be posting pics and videos soon. Maybe you can use it on your website and promote mountain biking. 🙂

  23. Dear Sajay,

    Thank you for reply. I appreciate your support. 

    Will look forward for your snaps. Would love to know where you found out this new trail…

  24. Its in Bangalore.Will be going to there again this weekend , will send you some good pics . 🙂

  25. looking forward to it mate…

  26. amol… any updates on trekto?

  28. You should check out –

    https://www.baanhikers.com/home/

    They have a very active community of trekkers

    Additionally, Headrush.in recently started offering the occasional treks to places near Mumbai, you could check them out too

  29. Thank you Smit ganatra…

    We will be showcasing treks of all groups while baanhikers are restricted to themselves.

    Headrush looks good..

    we are trying to promote it as way of living…in next phase we are desiging programs like

    TrekTo Sucess, TrekTo Health etc…

  30. All the best for your venture!

    Just a thought here,there is a nature/environment/green club in almost every college who plan such treks one to two times every year, but many-a-times these people don’t have the expertise to carry such things out,and additionally,many plans are cancelled as they can’t find a trusted guide for it.

    You could probably actively reach out to the heads of such clubs and help them plan the outing from scratch,and in the right seasons,such outbounds are usually over-booked 

  31. hey amol,

    how are things at trek.to…?

    any more updates you’d like to share with us??
