Go anywhere. Come back together.

TrailScout is one app for every trail: mountain treks, morning runs, forest rides and off-road tracks. Find the route, bring your people, and stay connected when the signal drops.

Every terrain

On foot, on wheels, or off the road.

Choose your activity when you start, and TrailScout adjusts the routes, stats and pace estimates to match. Whatever you do, the same safety tools come with you.

How it works

From planning to the finish.

You can plan, record and share an outing in the same app, whether it’s a two-hour run after work or a five-day Himalayan trek. Each step below is one part of the app.

  1. Planning a trail route on a map

    Pick a route

    Browse trails nearby or anywhere, filter by activity and difficulty, and read the latest condition reports. Save the offline map in one tap.

    Gather the crew

    Go solo, host a group or join one. Friends scan your QR code at the trailhead, join the lobby, and you start everyone at once.

  2. Hiker on a trail recording an outing

    Go, with backup

    Big, sunlight-readable stats while you record. The group map shows who’s ahead and who’s at the back. SOS is always one tap away.

02 — Group outings

Your crew, on the map.

See where friends and groups have been, then plan the next one together. Starting a group trek, ride or convoy takes three steps.

  1. STEP 1

    Host opens a lobby

    The host gets a QR and a short code to share in a chat or show at the trailhead.

  2. STEP 2

    Friends scan to join

    Each person appears in the lobby as they join. Lock the list when everyone is there.

  3. STEP 3

    Start and finish together

    Recording starts on every phone at once. At the end, TrailScout shows who isn’t back yet and offers to wait.

Between outings

Leaderboards, club challenges and a streak worth keeping.

Rank against friends by distance, elevation or outings. Clubs work toward a shared monthly goal, like 400 km together in October.

03 — Safety

Never go alone.

Live location for your group and one-tap SOS, even without signal. When the towers drop out, the phones in your group pass location and alerts to each other over Bluetooth.

One tap, two channels

SOS sends an SMS with your location to your emergency contacts and broadcasts over Bluetooth to nearby phones.

Keeps repeating

After you send it, your location goes out again every 2 minutes until you tap “I’m safe”.

Automatic check-in

Turn it on and TrailScout checks on you if you haven’t moved for 45 minutes.

Bluetooth mesh

Phones in a group relay each other’s location with no network, so the group map keeps working in the valley.

04 — Peak passport

Collect the mountains.

Each summit you finish adds a dated stamp to your passport, grouped by region. Personal records track your best time on every trail and compare it with your friends.

Questions

Before you go.

Is TrailScout only for trekking?

No. You can record hikes, trail runs, rides, off-road drives and camps. Routes, stats and pace estimates adjust to the activity you pick, and the safety tools work the same for all of them.

Does it work without mobile signal?

Yes. Save a route and its map downloads to your phone, so navigation and recording keep working offline. In a group, phones share location with each other over Bluetooth when there’s no network.

How do off-road routes work?

Off-road tracks show a grade, which vehicles they suit, and recent reports on crossings and closures. Drive them as a convoy using the group map to keep every vehicle in view.

How does a group outing start?

The host opens a lobby and gets a QR code and a short code. Friends scan the QR or type the code to join. When everyone is in, the host taps Start for everyone and recording begins on every phone.

What happens when I press SOS?

TrailScout sends an SMS with your location to your emergency contacts and broadcasts an alert over Bluetooth to nearby phones. It repeats every 2 minutes until you tap I’m safe.

Can I book a guide?

Yes. Verified local guides list their speciality, languages and price. Pick a date and group size, and you pay after the trek.

Which regions does TrailScout cover?

TrailScout has routes across the Sahyadris, the Western Ghats and the Himalaya, including Kalsubai, Harishchandragad, Rajmachi, Triund, Hampta Pass, Kedarkantha, Sandakphu, Spiti and Ladakh off-road tracks. You can also browse trails anywhere and draw your own route.

Is TrailScout available on iPhone and Android?

Yes. TrailScout is a mobile app for iOS and Android.
