ViaHimalaya
Free offline maps and multi-day planning for Himalayan treks
Most trail apps answer one question: where is the path? Himalayan treks turn on others - where you can camp, how far apart those camps are, how much you climb before the pass, and whether any of it works with no signal at 4,000 m. Satellite maps you download before leaving. Campsites and shelters placed along the trail by distance from the trailhead. And you build your own day-by-day itinerary from every mapped campsite, not one operator's fixed schedule. Free, no ads.

I trek solo in the Himalaya, and every app I tried was built for somewhere else. They'd draw a line on a map and tell me nothing about what actually decides a day: where you can pitch a tent, how far it is to the next one, how much you climb before the pass. Then they'd stop working the moment I lost signal, which on these trails is most of the time. The other thing that bothered me was itineraries. Every trek has exactly one published schedule — whichever company you booked with wrote it. But a trail has more campsites than any single operator uses. If you're walking on your own, deciding where your days end should be yours to do. So I stopped trying to cover everywhere and built for one mountain range. Trail geometry from OpenStreetMap, elevation sampled every 100 m from Copernicus 30 m terrain data, everything cached on the phone before you leave. Android, free, currently a handful of treks across Himachal, Uttarakhand and one in Nepal. It's early and deliberately narrow — I'm adding treks one at a time and checking each against published itineraries and pass altitudes. If you've walked any of these and something reads wrong, I'd really like to hear it.
