Startup Description:
The inspiration for this startup is a personal story of the CEO. Being an avid traveler, he wanted to trek from Naran to Rattigali along with his best friend, but this adventure was full of challenges before it even started; the biggest challenge being finding a tour guide who could be reliable for the feat.
After the trip, he laid the foundation of Porter Pakistan- a platform that would help you curate your entire trip in six easy steps, that would take less than 20 minutes in total.

The platform would act as a Digital Travel Assistant that could offer complete customizable and replace a modern-day travel agent. The platform is enough to help the travelers plan their itinerary, book accommodations and tickets, plan experiences, hire guides, rent transport and whatnot.
The platform is also experience centric and tailors the next trips as per the traveler’s preferences. It also has certified guides registered on the platform to make sure that the travelers get a safe and pleasant travel experience.
Porter Pakistan has facilitated 1000+ customers, the platform has 100+ reviews and 600+ service providers and is actively working towards creating better earning opportunities for porters and tour guides as well.
