JourneyBytes is a mobile app designed for *seamless trip planning, cultural exploration, and immersive 3D visualization. Inspired by the Government of Kerala's problem statements, it aims to *enhance the tourist experience with a comprehensive digital solution.
Our goal is to create a smooth, intuitive trip-planning experience with features like:
