Verification Standards

Sources & Fact-Checking Policy

How we cross-reference official government databases, temple trusts, and heritage authorities to ensure travel facts you can rely on.

1. Authoritative Primary Sources

We rely strictly on official primary sources for technical, historical, and travel facts:

Archaeological Survey of India (ASI): Architecture, UNESCO monument history, opening hours, ticket fee structures.
State Tourism Departments: State travel circuits, official festival dates, heritage hotel listings.
Temple Trusts & Devasthanam Boards: Darshan timings, ritual schedules, festival celebrations, photography rules.
Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change: National Park safari booking dates, wildlife sanctuary permits, eco-tourism rules.

2. Geographic & Transport Verification

Distance calculations, nearest airports/railway stations, highway route numbers, and local transport options (cabs, local buses, shared autos) are verified against official transport authorities and GIS mapping data.

Editorial Integrity Guarantee

We never publish unverified rumors, unsupported religious claims, or unconfirmed opening hours. If facts are uncertain, we explicitly disclose current status to protect travelers.
