1. Travel Guide

India Travel Guide by Triposo is an amazing creation for the travelers, as it is the best replacement for a heavy travel guide book. Here you can find minute details about your destination like the places to visit, transport, hotels, restaurants, shopping places and what not! The most interesting fact is that this app keeps functioning even when you are offline, i.e., it will keep giving you updates when your data is off.

For specific information about restaurants, shops, medical or other emergency services within a city, you must use the Justdial app to access the greatest information directory within India. If you are a foodie, download the Zomato app for specific guidance about restaurants and food services.

2. Booking a Ticket

Whenever you finalize a trip, the first step to confirm it is booking travel tickets. It becomes difficult when you decide a trip within a very short time. The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) Connect app is available for the Android phones. It relieves you of the tension of rail ticket booking. It preserves your data so you do not need to fill up all the details each time you go for a booking. It has a good rating on Google Play.

Air India has its mobile app for domestic and international flight booking. There are also the Make My Trip and Cleartrip apps for flight booking.

There are Ola Cab, Uber Cab and Meru Cab apps for booking cabs and traveling within the cities. The RedBus app is available for android and i-phone. For long distance journeys booking a cab is not always affordable and safe. The RedBus offers several bus service facilities and easy booking options for you.

3. Weather Forecast

India is a land of diversity. With mountains, seas, rivers, desert, forests and more geographical variations within a single land, you will find a variation in climate also. And when you are traveling to a place, it is very important to know the weather to make a smooth trip. Keeping this in mind, the Weather Pro app has been developed. It gives you the details of altitude, air pressure, temperature, humidity, rainfall, snowfall and every possible detail of the weather/ climate of a certain place. Now you can precisely decide how many woolens to carry or whether to keep a raincoat with you; isn’t that wonderful?
