Treeks

Treeks is a mobile application designed to facilitate outdoor exploration and adventure by connecting users with guided hiking and nature-based experiences. Launched in 2017, the platform operates primarily in select regions, including parts of Europe, North America, and Asia, with a focus on urban and rural areas rich in natural landscapes. The app serves as a marketplace where users can discover, book, and join guided hikes led by certified local guides. These experiences range from leisurely nature walks to challenging treks, often incorporating educational elements such as wildlife observation, photography, or cultural insights.

The core functionality of Treeks revolves around its user-friendly interface, which allows participants to browse available hikes based on difficulty level, duration, group size, and specific interests. Guides on the platform are typically trained professionals with expertise in environmental science, outdoor education, or local geography, ensuring a safe and informative experience. Treeks also emphasizes sustainability, encouraging users to engage responsibly with natural environments through guidelines on waste management, wildlife interaction, and trail etiquette.

Beyond guided hikes, Treeks fosters a community aspect by enabling users to share experiences, reviews, and photos, while also offering features like group booking and real-time updates during treks. The app has been praised for its accessibility, particularly for urban dwellers seeking to reconnect with nature without extensive prior experience. However, availability is limited to certain cities and regions, and users must download the app separately for each supported location.

Treeks operates on a revenue model that includes commissions from bookings, as well as optional premium features for guides, such as enhanced visibility or promotional tools. The company behind Treeks emphasizes transparency, ensuring that guides set their own prices and that participants have clear information about what to expect from each experience. As of recent years, the platform continues to expand its offerings, occasionally introducing themed hikes like night walks or seasonal events to cater to diverse interests.
