I built TrekMind because nothing else let me properly compare routes before committing to fourteen days in the Himalayas.

Before the Annapurna Circuit, I spent weeks comparing routes across five different websites, two guidebooks, and a dozen Reddit threads. None of them showed me what I actually needed: a proper elevation comparison, a realistic day-by-day breakdown, and the ability to see where the route sat on the map.

TrekMind answers the specific planning questions that cost hours of research. It’s built by an engineer who also treks, meaning the data structure works the way a planner’s brain works.
