It is for adults (18+) in India who want to meet someone, or simply find a travel buddy, through actual trips. Every member is verified with a government ID and a live selfie.

Status: Pre-launch: the waitlist is open, and we're launching city by city in India.

## Key facts

- SwipeTrip is a travel dating and travel partner app built for India.
- Instead of only swiping on faces, people swipe on trips: each card is a trip first and a person second, with a short line on why you'd get along.
- Matching uses how you travel (travel style, pace, budget, and when you're free), not just photos.
- Every match gets 72 hours to become a plan: propose dates, an activity and a budget together. If nobody proposes, the match quietly expires.
- Every member is verified with their Aadhaar and a live selfie. Until you're verified, nobody can see you.
- SwipeTrip keeps a 'verified' result; ID images are deleted after review. ID numbers are never shown to anyone.
- Location is shared only during trips you declare, together with an emergency contact, check-ins and SOS.
- There are two modes: travel dating (meet someone, experience something) and travel buddy (find someone who travels like you).
- SwipeTrip is for people aged 18 and over.
- SwipeTrip is pre-launch: the waitlist is open and access opens city by city across India.

## Guides

- [First date ideas in India that aren't just coffee](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/first-date-ideas-india): Good first dates in India are short, public and give you something to do together: a heritage walk, a street-food trail, a sunrise point, a bookstore café, a flea market or a museum. Pick one with a natural end time so neither of you feels stuck.
- [First date safety tips: a practical checklist](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/first-date-safety-tips): To stay safe on a first date, video call first, meet somewhere public and busy, tell a friend where you'll be, get there and back on your own, and keep your home address and financial details private. Trust your gut and have an exit plan ready.
- [How to spot a fake dating profile or catfish](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/how-to-spot-a-fake-dating-profile): A fake dating profile usually has photos that look too polished, details that don't add up, and a person who avoids video calls, never wants to meet and pushes you to WhatsApp or Telegram fast. A reverse image search and a short video call will catch most of them.
- [Romance scam warning signs in India and what to do](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/romance-scam-warning-signs): A romance scam almost always ends in a request for money: a gift card, an "investment" or crypto tip, an emergency, or a customs fee for a parcel. If that happens, stop replying, don't pay, save the evidence, and report it at cybercrime.gov.in or by calling 1930, India's national cyber-crime helpline.
- [What to text after you match: openers that work](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/what-to-text-after-you-match): After you match, send a short message that mentions something specific from their profile and ends with an easy question. Within a few messages, move towards a plan, such as a place you'd both like to try.
- [How to turn a match into a date within a few days](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/how-to-turn-a-match-into-a-date): To turn a match into a date, suggest a specific place, day and time within the first few days of chatting, keep the plan short, and make it easy to say yes or suggest another time. Chats that wait for the perfect moment usually fade out.
- [Planning a first trip with someone you met online](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/first-trip-together): For a first trip with someone you met online, start with a day trip after you've met in person, agree on costs and rooms before you book, share your itinerary with a friend, and choose well-visited places with your own way home.
- [Travel buddy vs travel dating: what's the difference?](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/travel-buddy-vs-travel-dating): A travel buddy is someone to share a trip with as a companion, with no romance expected. Travel dating means meeting someone you might be romantically interested in and getting to know them through a shared experience. Choose based on what you want from the trip, and say so clearly up front.
- [Weekend getaways for couples in India, by region](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/weekend-getaways-for-couples-india): Popular couple getaways in India include Rishikesh, Mussoorie and Udaipur in the north and west, Lonavala, Alibaug and Goa near Mumbai, Coorg, Pondicherry and Munnar in the south, and Darjeeling, Gangtok and Shillong in the east. Most are at their best between October and March, while the hill stations also suit summer.
- [How to choose a dating app in India: a checklist](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/how-to-choose-a-dating-app-in-india): Choose a dating app by checking how it verifies people, what safety tools it offers, how matching works, what it does with your data, and whether its members want the same thing you do. The right app is the one where people near you share your intent.
- [Dating profile tips: photos, prompts and honesty](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/dating-profile-tips): A good dating profile has clear, recent photos of you doing things you enjoy, prompts with specific details rather than clichés, honest basics, and a sense of how you spend your weekends. It should make it easy for someone to start a conversation.
- [Second date ideas that build on the first](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/second-date-ideas): A good second date builds on the first: a bit longer, a bit more personal, and ideally linked to something you talked about. Try cooking together, a class, live music, a long walk somewhere new or, if you're both keen, a short day trip.
- [How to find a travel partner in India (and vet them)](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/how-to-find-a-travel-partner-in-india): Find a travel partner through people you already know, travel communities, group treks with reputable operators, hostels or a travel-buddy app, then vet them, agree on budget, pace and rooms, and take a short day trip together before anything longer.
- [Travel dating vs traditional dating: which suits you?](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/travel-dating-vs-traditional-dating): Travel dating means getting to know someone by doing something together, from an activity date in your city to a short trip later on, while traditional dating centres on talking over coffee or dinner. Travel dating can show compatibility faster, but it takes more planning and more care with safety.
- [How to meet people while travelling solo in India](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/how-to-meet-people-while-travelling-solo): The easiest ways to meet people while travelling solo are hostels, walking tours, group treks, cooking classes, volunteering, cafés with communal tables and travel apps, and the trick is to say yes to small shared plans while keeping your own boundaries and your own way home.
- [Finding a travel buddy for Goa: a practical guide](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/find-a-travel-buddy-for-goa): To find a travel buddy for Goa, look for someone who wants the same Goa as you (busy north or quieter south), meet before you go, agree on dates, budget, stay and scooter plans up front, and travel in the dry season unless you both want the monsoon.
- [Safety tips for meeting someone while travelling](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/safety-tips-for-meeting-someone-while-travelling): To meet someone safely while travelling, make the first meeting in a busy public place, share your itinerary and live location with a friend, keep your own money, ID and transport, save 112, and leave the moment something feels wrong.
- [Dating red flags: early warning signs in chats and dates](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/dating-red-flags): The biggest early dating red flags are love-bombing, pressure to move faster than you want, stories that don't add up, any request for money, and refusing to video call or meet. When you see one, slow down, keep the chat on the app, and don't be afraid to walk away.
- [Green flags in dating: signs they're interested and kind](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/green-flags-in-dating): Green flags are signs someone is genuinely interested and respectful: they communicate steadily, ask about your life, make concrete plans, respect your boundaries without sulking, and are the same person in person as in chat.
- [How to meet new people after moving to a new city in India](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/how-to-meet-new-people-in-a-new-city): To meet people in a new city, pick one or two regular activities (a sports group, a class, a club or volunteering) and keep showing up, say yes to invitations in your first months, and use apps to meet people with shared interests. Repetition, not one big event, is what turns strangers into friends.
- [Dating with a busy schedule: how to make time that works](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/dating-with-a-busy-schedule): To date with a busy schedule, block a regular slot for it, keep first dates short and close to your routine, plan a few days ahead, and be honest about how much time you have. Fewer, better conversations beat many half-finished chats.
- [How to know if someone likes you, without mind games](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/how-to-know-if-someone-likes-you): Someone who likes you usually shows it through effort: they reply consistently, ask about your life, remember details, suggest plans and make time to see you. If you're unsure, the clearest way to know is to ask or suggest a date and see how they respond.
- [How to handle being ghosted, and how not to ghost](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/how-to-handle-being-ghosted): If you've been ghosted, send one short, calm message at most, then let it go: their silence is an answer, and it says more about them than about you. To avoid ghosting others, send a brief, kind no, such as "I enjoyed meeting you, but I don't feel a romantic connection."
- [How to ask someone out: a simple, low-pressure way](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/how-to-ask-someone-out): To ask someone out, suggest a specific, short plan with a day and time ("Want to get chai at that place near you on Saturday at 5?"), keep it relaxed, and make it easy for them to say no. If they decline, thank them and move on gracefully.
- [Long-distance dating tips: staying close across cities](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/long-distance-dating-tips): Long-distance dating works best with a steady rhythm of calls, small everyday sharing, visits planned well ahead (with the next one always on the calendar) and an honest conversation about where you're heading. Meeting halfway on short trips keeps the cost and travel time fair.
- [How to plan a surprise date they'll actually enjoy](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/how-to-plan-a-surprise-date): A good surprise date is built around something the other person already loves, with enough hints (time, what to wear, how long) that they feel comfortable, and an easy way to say no. Thoughtful beats expensive: a picnic, a playlist walk or a short day trip can mean more than a big dinner.
- [Dating after a breakup: when you're ready and how to start](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/dating-after-a-breakup): You're probably ready to date again after a breakup when you're curious about meeting new people rather than trying to fill a gap or prove something to your ex. Start slowly with low-pressure dates, be honest about where you are, and notice if you're comparing everyone to the past.
- [Online dating safety tips for women in India](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/dating-safety-tips-for-women-india): To date online safely in India, video call before meeting, check the profile is real, meet somewhere public, get there and back on your own, share your plans and live location with a friend, and keep personal details private. Call 112 in an emergency, and report online fraud or harassment on 1930 or cybercrime.gov.in.
- [How to choose a safe dating app as a woman: a checklist](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/how-to-choose-a-safe-dating-app-as-a-woman): A safe dating app checks every member's identity, lets you control who sees you, makes blocking and reporting quick, explains how reports are handled, protects your ID and location, and gives you tools for meeting up safely. Check each of these before you sign up.
- [Solo travel tips for women in India: plan it, enjoy it](https://www.swipetrip.in/guides/solo-travel-tips-for-women-india): For a good solo trip in India, book well-reviewed stays, arrive in daylight, share your itinerary with someone at home, use trusted transport, keep money and ID copies in more than one place, and meet new people in public first. Save 112, India's emergency number, before you go.
