ABOUT

Most travel content is written to be liked, not to be useful.

TravelNerdz is city intelligence for people who'd rather know the real price, the real scam, and the real verdict on a "must-see" attraction — before they land, not after they've already been quoted triple.

What the Nerdz Score actually measures

Every city we cover gets scored on things you can't scrape from a review aggregator: scam resistance, how commercialized the famous spots have become, how easy transport actually is, and whether the marketed highlight is worth the crowd. It's not an average of star ratings — it's a structured, evidence-backed judgment call, and we show the evidence for every number.

How we're different from a typical guide
Named prices, not ranges pulled from a brochure

If a fee needs verifying same-day, we flag it instead of pretending we have a number we don't.

Scam patterns, named specifically

Not "be careful of scams" — the actual gem-shop detour, the actual bike-deposit trick, the actual fake permit.

Skip lists, not just highlight reels

Every city guide includes what's overrated and what to skip, not only what to do.

Re-verified, not written once and left

Attractions carry a last-verified date. Prices and hours drift; we say when we last checked.

Who this is for

Practical travelers who want a straight answer before they spend money or time — first-time visitors to India who don't want to learn the hard way, and repeat travelers who are tired of guides that read like advertorials. If you want to know whether something is actually worth it, that's what we're built for.
