How it works

You name the trip.
Captains name the price.

No meter, no surge, no dispatcher deciding for you. Every trip in Gilgit-Baltistan is a short, open negotiation between a rider and the captains nearby, and you see all of it before you agree to anything.

The real screen

This is the fare screen, not a mock-up.

Distance, minutes and the price for every vehicle class sit on one screen before you ask for a captain. Nothing is revealed later.

Anatomy of an offer

Everything you judge a ride on, before you accept.

An offer is a captain’s actual commitment: this driver, this vehicle, this price, arriving in this many minutes. Nothing is hidden until the end of the trip.

Three kinds of trip.

The offer flow is the same in each. What changes is who else is in the vehicle and how long you keep it.

Still wondering.

What if no offer matches my estimate?+

Nothing happens. The request lapses after two minutes and you can post it again, adjust the vehicle type, or ask us on WhatsApp for a realistic number on that route.

Why isn't the price fixed like a meter?+

Roads here change with the season, and a run to Skardu in July is not the same job as in January. Letting the captain who is actually driving it name the price keeps the fare honest in both directions.

Can I book a trip for tomorrow?+

Yes. Scheduled requests go out to captains ahead of time, which is how most intercity and tour trips are booked.

Is there a fee to cancel?+

No fee before a captain has started towards you. After that, please call the captain directly. The app shows the number.

Do I need the app?+

It is the easiest way, but you can also message us on WhatsApp and we will post the request for you and read the offers back.

How does North Travena make money?+

A 12% commission on fares paid in the app or by wallet, and nothing at all on cash fares. There is no joining fee for riders or captains.

Try it on your next trip.

Post a request in two minutes. If none of the offers suit you, just walk away. It costs nothing.
