TBC Incubation Centre Launches Student-Led Trailmapper Platform
KATHMANDU, Nepal, May 15, 2026 — The British College (TBC) Incubation Centre has launched Trailmapper, a student-led platform developed to support trekkers and travelers navigating trails in Nepal.
According to the information shared, Trailmapper was created by students associated with the TBC Incubation Centre after experiencing common navigation challenges on trails, particularly where standard digital maps may not fully reflect smaller routes, local paths, or changing ground conditions.
The platform is designed to combine user-generated updates with route suggestions to help travelers access more relevant trail information. Details such as the platform’s current availability, coverage areas, verification process, and user access model were not specified in the provided information.
Trailmapper also represented The British College at the Hult Prize National Competition, a student entrepreneurship platform. The participation highlighted the project as part of TBC’s student innovation and incubation activities.
Ganesh Paudyal, Head of the TBC Incubation Centre, said Trailmapper addresses a problem that students themselves have experienced. He described the project as a venture shaped by local insight and practical field experience.
The launch event was held on May 12, bringing together TBC leadership and mentors. Rajen Kandel, Group CEO, said the project reflects the college’s focus on entrepreneurship and student-led problem-solving.
The student team also acknowledged Mr. John Park for mentorship support during the development process.
Trailmapper is among the student-led projects developed through the TBC Incubation Centre. The centre is also working with other startup ideas, according to the provided information.
