Problem

Every year students and tourists arrive in Kashmir with no easy way to work out where to stay, how to get around, or what a trip will actually cost. Accommodation and transport are scattered across word-of-mouth and phone calls, with no single place to compare options, book them, or estimate a budget before committing.

Solution

Smart Trip Manager is a two-sided marketplace. Sellers — hotel owners and vehicle owners — list rooms and vehicles; buyers browse, book and chat with them in real time. On the home page a buyer picks a start and destination on the map; the platform draws the shortest route with distance and drive time, then predicts a total cost from the selected vehicle's per-kilometre rate and the chosen hotel's nightly rate across the trip dates. An AI assistant answers platform questions and checks real-time availability, so a first-time visitor can plan, price and book a whole trip in one place.
