About

TripMe Mongolia

Features
Read full description

TripMe is the travel app built for Mongolia. Plan a route across the steppe, translate a conversation in a shop in Ulaanbaatar, book a ride you can trust, and carry a safety net that works even where the signal does not. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Plan — build a day-by-day itinerary with an AI planner that knows Mongolian seasons, distances and road conditions. • Translate — text, voice and camera translation between English, Korean, Mongolian, Japanese, Chinese and Russian. • Move — book a safe taxi or an airport pickup with fares agreed up front. • Explore — find places, trails and viewpoints, with maps that keep working offline. • Stay safe — one-tap SOS with your location, trusted contacts and a 24/7 response desk. • Travel together — find companions heading the same way and chat with live translation. • Keep the trip — a travel log that records photos, notes and your route automatically. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. TripMe uses background location only while you have safety tracking switched on. TripMe is not a replacement for emergency services. In a life-threatening situation, always contact local emergency services first.
