Trekking is an activity in which people take hiking trips through rural, often rugged territory. As travelers move through rural areas, trekking gives them an up-close view of the scenery. There are innumerable trekking places in the state of Maharashtra. Some spots are well known whereas some are still isolated. The information required by a trekker includes locating nearby trekking spots, the difficulty level involved in trekking, reviews of the people who have already been there, directions and the climatic condition of the place. In this paper, an android application that helps one to easily discover unusual trekking locations that are otherwise not much talked about, mentioned or is difficult to discover is introduced. This is a completely user friendly application, providing the best destination match and is more convenient than referring to any travel book or map.
