Chokti, whose name means among other things, a Tibetan liquor, as well as ancient Christian prayer beads, is a travel site aimed at independent minded travelers. The site aggregates an array of user-submitted videos, reviews, pictures and maps; most of the content will lead you to more specific websites.
You’ll also find a catalogue of tour descriptions which will link you directly to the podcast/vodcast’s site of origin. Chotki gets its info, in part, from the RSS feeds of a variety of sites. You can add your own feeds to the site; you can also create content about places you know. Chotki is free for all you global nomads. It’s still pretty fresh, so expect to see improvements coming soon.
Chotki.com In Their Own Words
“Chokti provides you, the user, with a service that allows you to search tourism related information that resides on sites not owned or controlled by Chokti.
In particular, the service provides brief descriptions of the content to help you identify the tours of interest to you. When you select a tour, you will be linked to the producer’s site on which that podcast/vodcast is stored. You can then view/listen to the media before downloading it to your computer.”
Why Chotki.com It Might Be A Killer
Chotki could be a hub for travel resource information. It’s got all the right sorts of features—interactive maps, videos, and pics, for it to be popular. With a little work it could develop into a fine travel site.
Some Questions About Chotki.com
