The challenge

Trail information for hiking in Bangladesh was scattered across Facebook groups and old blog posts. Hikers had no single place to check distance, difficulty and the weather before setting out.

Our approach

We collected and checked trail data first, then designed around the one question every hiker asks: is this trail right for me, today? Every route page answers it in one glance.

How we got there.

  1. Weeks 1–2

    Research

    Talks with hiking groups about how they plan.

  2. Weeks 2–5

    Trail data

    Checking every route with local guides.

  3. Weeks 5–11

    Design & build

    Route pages, region browsing and live weather.

  4. Week 12 →

    Launch

    Launched with hiking groups, new trails monthly.

What we built.

  1. Route pages

    Distance, duration, difficulty and the starting point for every trail, in one place.

  2. Live weather

    Current conditions and a short forecast on each route, so hikers can plan the day.

  3. Find by region

    Browse trails by area and difficulty, from easy day walks to multi-day treks.

  4. Fast on mobile data

    Light pages that load quickly on a phone signal in the hills.

The outcome

  • Trail details that used to live in dozens of posts, now in one site
  • Weather on every route page before hikers set out
  • Built mobile-first for use on the way to the trailhead
