Questions people ask
What is SwipeTrip?
SwipeTrip is a travel dating and travel partner app for India. You swipe on trips, not just faces: match with people who travel the way you do, make a real plan within 72 hours, and actually go.
How is SwipeTrip different from other dating apps?
Matching starts from travel (style, pace, budget and availability) instead of photos alone. Every match has 72 hours to turn into a concrete plan, so conversations lead to real trips instead of endless chat.
Is SwipeTrip safe?
Safety is built in. Every member verifies with their Aadhaar and a live selfie before anyone can see them. For declared trips you can add an emergency contact, use check-ins and SOS, and share location only for the duration of the trip.
How does ID verification work, and what happens to my ID?
You photograph your Aadhaar card and take a short live selfie, and a person reviews them. SwipeTrip keeps only the 'verified' result. ID images are deleted after review and your ID number is never shown to anyone.
Can I use SwipeTrip just to find a travel buddy?
Yes. Choose travel buddy mode to find someone who travels like you, without dating. Travel dating mode is for meeting someone and experiencing something together.
What does the 72-hour plan mean?
When you match, you both have 72 hours to propose a trip: dates, an activity and an estimated budget. If neither of you does, the match quietly expires. No hard feelings.
Who can join SwipeTrip?
Anyone in India aged 18 or over. You confirm your age at sign-up and it is checked against your ID during verification. Only your age is shown on your profile, never your date of birth.
When does SwipeTrip launch?
SwipeTrip is opening city by city across India. Join the waitlist to get early access when it opens near you.
Is SwipeTrip a dating app or a travel app?
It's a dating app first. Trips are how you meet: a plan you make together, from a coffee date to a weekend away. If you only want company for a trip, there's a separate travel buddy mode.
Do I have to travel on a first date?
No. The plan can be anything you both agree on, like a walk, a meal or a day out in your own city. A trip can come later.
What happens after we match?

Who can join?

Is travel buddy mode a dating service?
No. Travel buddy mode is for finding someone to travel with, without dating. Travel dating is a separate mode.
What do we match on?
Travel style, pace, budget and when you're free, so the people you see are likely to enjoy the same kind of trip.
Who pays for what?
You decide together. Every plan includes an estimated budget, so you can agree on costs before you go.
How do I know a travel partner is real?
Every member verifies with their Aadhaar and a live selfie before anyone can see them, and you can report or block anyone.
Can I find a travel partner for a weekend trip?
Yes. Weekend getaways, treks, road trips and food crawls are exactly what plans on SwipeTrip are for.
