DharmaPass

DharmaPass is a mobile app for Buddhist pilgrimage sites that focuses on the unglamorous reality: weak signal, confusing last-mile directions, inconsistent opening hours, and language barriers. It provides downloadable, offline-first site packs (maps, walking routes, etiquette notes, best visiting windows, and verified practical info like ticketing, dress rules, and photography restrictions). The app supports “trip mode” with day-by-day routing between sites, local transport tips, and a lightweight journal for vows, reflections, and photo notes. It also includes a community verification layer where trusted contributors (guides, monasteries, tour operators) can confirm changes to hours, closures, and access rules. This is not a generic travel app; it’s designed for pilgrims who care about practice, context, and respectful behavior, while still needing dependable logistics.
