Travel Apps for Android - India

A list of handy apps to have on your Android while travelling in India.


  • Google Maps: Almost every android phone comes with Google Maps. Google Maps is an essential app to have so that you always have a map of where you are that also shows your own position using GPS or other location services; the latest version comes with the ability to store maps offline and with separately available but integrated voice navigation feature and also street view.

  • Indian Rail Info App : A very useful app for anyone who travels by train frequently in India, Indian Rail enables you to check your PNR Status, find out the train running status, arrival and departure, make Train Fare and availability enquiry.

  • Makemytrip: The app from the popular website makemytrip.com allows you to book flights, check your bookings, check flight status and even find places to eat.

  • TripAdvisor: Associated with the popular travel related website tripadvisor.com, this app provides you with information about Hotels, Restaurants, Things to do and flights while you are travelling.
  • ngpay : This app is mainly for financial transaction and has options to  book Bus, Air and Train tickets. ngpay lets you buy, check, cancel, email etc your train tickets, check train route etc using IRCTC

Note: Some travel, transport, airline companies have their own apps such as IndiGo that can be useful for checking in etc if you are a regular customer. A mention here for cleartrip.com's super user friendly mobile website. Also, the Indian Railways (IRCTC) has an official mobile website

    1. Life is like that I thought, as I turned the corner to my building. Freedom has its danger as well as its joys. And the sooner we learn to get up after a fall, the better off will be. Love Sms , Love Text

    2. The heart of it all is mystery, and science is at best only the peripheral trappings to that mystery--a ragged barbed-wire fence through which mystery travels, back and forth, unencumbered by anything so frail as man's knowledge. Cheap Flights to Accra

    3. “I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger.”
