I’m Numan, a backend engineer born and raised right here in Srinagar, Kashmir. Living here, I have a front-row seat to a recurring problem: Kashmir is incredibly beautiful, but planning a trip here is a logistical nightmare. Friends and family constantly send me their itineraries to review, and they almost always make the same mistake—they look at linear distances on a map and assume a 50km mountain drive takes 45 minutes. In reality, winding altitude roads, checkpoint delays, and seasonal weather mean that same drive takes three hours. When they turn to generic AI tools or global travel sites, it gets worse. Those platforms treat mountain terrain like a flat highway in California. That’s why I built Kashplore. 🏔️ Instead of building just another skin-deep API wrapper, I wanted to combine high-performance engineering with real, local domain logic. Kashplore is a specialized AI travel engine that understands the actual ground realities of the valley. Plug in your dates, group type, and vibe, and it outputs a logistically sound, optimized daily itinerary for Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Gurez, and beyond in under 30 seconds.
