FAQ

Your Questions, Our Answers

Can't find your question here? Reach out — we always respond.

Is Safarnama by TravelTech completely free?

Yes — 100% free. You write your story, submit it, and we publish it. You even earn 50 reward points when it's approved. There is no payment of any kind required to get published.

How long does the review process take?

Our editorial team reviews all submissions within 3 to 5 working days. You'll receive a notification on your profile with the decision — including specific feedback if we're requesting revisions.

Can I include links to my website or social media?

Authors at Adventure Seeker tier (300+ points) and above can include one relevant external link per story. This can be your personal blog, Instagram, or travel-related website. Paid promotional campaigns allow more flexibility.

Can I promote my tour company or travel product?

Organic mentions of your travel services are allowed for Adventure Seeker tier and above — provided the story delivers genuine value to readers. Dedicated brand promotion campaigns are available as a paid partnership. Contact us for details.

What if my story gets rejected?

We always tell you exactly why. Most rejections are fixable — thin content, missing photos, or lack of practical detail. You can revise and resubmit as many times as needed.

How do free trips work for top-tier authors?

Explorer Elite (1500+ points) and Travel Legend (3000+ points) authors are considered for TravelTech's sponsored trip program. When we organize group trips and have available seats, top authors get priority invitations — sometimes at no cost.

Will my content appear on Google under my name?

Yes. Every published story is indexed on Google with your author byline. Over time, searches for your destination may show your article — and your name as the author. This builds your digital footprint as a travel writer.

Can I submit stories about international destinations?

Absolutely. India, Southeast Asia, Europe, Middle East, Nepal — any destination you've personally visited. We love diverse travel perspectives from Indian travelers going global.
