365hops is a location (geo tagging) and interest based crowd-sharing platform for adventure, experiential and off-beat travel started by IIT-D alumni. At 365hops, we’re building a community of travelers where they can broadcast and discover trips, travel plans and unique places.
We’re providing an end to end seamless travel solution which lets users broadcast and connect directly to others near the targeted location or with common interests. 365hops also notifies you about new additions within your interests or location, thereby reducing the effort of searching and discovering relevant trips and information.

Aren’t there zillion such sites? What’s your differentiator?
Kunal Goel
Hi Alok,
Glad that you asked the same. 365hops delves into two verticals :- crowd-sharing (done by trip advisor, tripoto and some others) and experiential or activity based tourism (thrillophilia, tushky, etc).
Prominent Differentiators based on both verticals
Other USPs
Example use case:-
Requirement :- I want to go to Rishikesh for trekking and rafting and need mates.
What do i do :- Share a trip or rough plan (as convenient) tagging Rishikesh as location and trekking and rafting as activities. Since, I’m in Delhi, I’d preferably want to get tripmates from Delhi. So, I tag the “broadcast location” as Delhi.
What happens :-
1. This gets shared with all users in rishikesh as well as delhi. Users include organizers in Rishikesh too, who in turn could offer specific services to them.
2. Gets shared with all users interested in trekking or rafting.
Apart from this, it’d be available on the platform if one specifically searches for Rishikesh or under trekking and rafting.
We think that though there are quite a few platforms in the experiential/activity tourism space, the market is still quite fragmented and untapped and are hoping to plug those gaps.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or further questions.
