Real trips, real people, everywhere
From mountain trails to rooftop nights — browse the feed, check who's going, and reserve your spot alongside people who love what you love.
Your money is safe until the trip actually happens
Gathora is a money, trust, and coordination platform for group travel. Payments sit in platform-managed escrow and are only released through participant-approved milestones — never unilaterally.
Pay into escrow
Top up your Gidi Coin wallet and join a trip with full payment or a 30% minimum deposit. Funds lock into the trip's escrow, not the organiser's pocket.
Vote on release
Before the trip, participants vote on milestone payouts — flights, permits, accommodation — one vote per traveller.
Refunded automatically
Miss a deadline or the trip cancels? Locked GC returns to your wallet and your slot is released. No chasing anyone.

A home for every crew
Follow the creators and agencies you trust. Their communities bring together trips, updates, and the people who make group travel worth it.
Creator-owned communities
Agencies and creators run dedicated hubs for their followers, listing free or paid trips and events.
Auto group chats
Joining a trip grants access to its coordination chat — which archives itself 1–2 weeks after the trip ends.
No stale groups
Every channel has a lifecycle. When the trip is over, the chat closes so your feed stays clean.
