The upkeep
What this
costs
No ads. No tracking. No newsletter. Nothing behind a login, and nothing here for sale. It stays that way because that's the whole point of it.
But it isn't free to keep online, so here is the arithmetic, plainly. If you'd rather just look at the photographs and leave, that's a perfectly good outcome — genuinely. This page exists because someone will ask, not because you owe anything.
If the site has sent you somewhere good — a ridge you hadn't heard of, a fort you'd driven past for years — you can put something in. Any amount. It goes to the list above and nowhere else.
UPI
The direct way. No fees, no middleman, nothing taken off the top.

For anyone outside India, or if UPI isn't your thing.
Open →Nothing changes if you do. There's no badge, no early access, no members-only anything, and you won't get a thank-you email. Every walk on this site stays free and stays public either way. That isn't modesty — it's the arrangement.
If you want to do something better than give me money: carry your plastic back down, don't paint your name on the rock, don't geotag the quiet places, and leave the fort standing for whoever climbs it next. That's worth more than the domain fee.
Not live yet. The amounts above are blank and the payment links are placeholders — nothing here collects money, and no figure on this page is real. Pranav needs to fill in the actual yearly costs and add a UPI ID / payment link before this page goes public.
