Example data
  • Live tracking

    A map that shows where each group is, and how long ago it last reported.

  • SOS alert

    A red button in the app. Your team is told at once.

  • Offline app

    Works with no internet. It saves updates and sends them when the signal returns.

Pick one. See what TrailDx does about it.

  1. With TrailDx

    Guides join the trip with a code and see the same plan. You assign guides to trips from one list.

    • Asha (guide): EBC spring group
    • Pemba (guide): invite sent

    Latest plan: day 4 starts at 07:00

    Updates sync when there is signal.

    Example data

A day on the trail

Scroll to follow one example group from morning to evening.

8.7km

Example numbers. The real board shows the last position, how old it is, and the pace against the plan.

Before and after

What changes in daily work.

Choose a view
  • Group position: calls to lodges and guides
  • A silent or late group: noticed when someone calls
  • Quotes: spreadsheets and retyping
  • Guide updates: chat groups
  • Records: memory and notes
  • Family reassurance: a phone call
  • Last position and its age on one board
  • Alert rules for silence, off-route and SOS, with escalation
  • Itinerary builder with templates, costs per person and versions
  • One trip plan in the app, joined with a code
  • Audit log of alerts and actions
  • A live link they open in a browser

How it works

Three simple steps. No training needed.

  1. Create the trip

    Pick a ready-made route or build your own. Add the dates.

    Example: Everest Base Camp, 12 days.

  2. Share the code

    Guides and clients join the trip with a short code in the app.

    Send the code on WhatsApp.

  3. Watch it live

    See each group on the map. Get an alert if something looks wrong.

    Example: Namche to Lukla flight day.

What you get

Four tools that share one trip, so what you plan is what the guide follows and what the family sees.

Live board

Every active trip on one map and list, with a status per group, the last position and its age, today's plan and open alerts. SOS rises to the top.

  • Updates by itself and shows the age of the data
  • Silence, off-route and SOS alerts with escalation
  • Acknowledge alerts and keep the record

Itinerary builder

Build the route day by day on a map. Each day gets its own colour, plan checks flag problems early, and costs are tracked per person. Start from a ready-made route or your own template, then turn the plan into a trip.

  • Templates and duplicate
  • Checks, costs per person, version history
  • GPX in and out

Offline traveller and guide app

Clients and guides join with a trip code. The app is built to keep the route, today's plan and emergency contacts on the phone, record the track without a connection and send everything when the signal returns.

  • Map, route and day plan on the phone
  • Track and check-ins wait for signal
  • Guides and clients in one app

Safety that does not wait for signal

Travellers can raise an SOS and guides can check in the group. Alerts follow the rules you set and reach your emergency list. Families get a link that works in any browser, with no account.

  • SOS and check-ins from the trail
  • Alert rules and an emergency contact per agency
  • Family link, shared with the traveller's consent
  • SMS alerts reach Nepal numbers only for now

Website widgets

Put a small TrailDx box on your own website: a trust badge, or a box where travellers type their trip code. Copy the code into your site, or use the WordPress plugin.

  • Choose the look and the text
  • Only your own website addresses can show it
  • See how many people viewed and clicked

Your clients stay yours

In plain words, and in the product.

  • Your data belongs to you

    Your trips, clients and guides are kept apart from other agencies and from anything public.

  • Operated by NepGem

    TrailDx is operated by NepGem. We say so openly. Your agency data is not used to market to your clients.

  • Staff cannot read your trips

    NepGem staff are blocked from your agency data. The only exception is support access that is recorded in an audit log and limited in time.

  • SOS is never blocked

    SOS and safety alerts always go through.

  • Location by consent

    Location is shared only with the traveller's consent.

  • Export on request

    Ask and we export your data.

Founding agency pilot

How the founding agency pilot works

We are onboarding a small number of agencies so we can work closely with each one. Paid plans are based on active trips, and you can start free. We explain the terms before you begin.

  1. Book a 20-minute demo

    We show you the board, the builder and the app with your kind of trip.

  2. Run one real trip

    Set up your agency, invite a guide, and follow one trip with its clients.

  3. Decide with real use

    Keep going if it saves you time. Ask for your data export if it does not.

Trekking on your own?

The same app works without an agency: plan a route, keep it offline and share a family link when you choose. Free to start.

Questions agencies ask

Will you take my clients?

No. Your trips, clients and guides are kept apart from every other agency and from anything public, and your data is not used to market to your clients. NepGem staff are blocked from your agency data, except for recorded, time-limited support access. TrailDx is operated by NepGem and we say so plainly. You can ask for an export of your data.

What if my guides have no signal?

The app is built offline first: the route, the day plan and the emergency contacts stay on the phone, and the track and check-ins are sent when the signal returns. The board shows the last known position and how old it is, and a silence rule can alert you when nothing arrives. We cannot make a position appear where there is no signal. Satellite messenger support is planned, not available yet.

Do my clients need an app?

Yes, a simple one: they join with the trip code you give them. Their families do not need anything. They open the live link in a browser.

What does it cost?

You can start free. Paid plans are based on active trips. We will explain the terms in the demo, before you commit to anything.

Which regions do you cover?

TrailDx is built for treks in Nepal, using trail and route data for Nepal's trekking regions. Tell us your routes in the demo and we will show you what is covered.

Can I take my data with me?

Yes. Ask and we export it.

Book a 20-minute demo

Tell us a little about your agency. We will reply to set a time.

Next time, know before they call

Twenty minutes is enough to see whether it fits how you run treks.
