How to split fairly

Leh trips have many per-person costs (flights, permits, oxygen) and many group costs (bike fuel, homestays, dhaba meals). Use equal split for stays and group meals; per-person for individual items. Don't try to settle daily — wait until back in Leh or Manali where signal is reliable, then settle the entire trip via UPI in 2–3 transfers.

The Hisaab handles the math automatically. Add expenses as they happen, even with no signal. At the end of the trip, hit "settle up" and the app suggests UPI transfers that minimize the number of payments — usually 2–3 transfers settle the whole trip.

Why The Hisaab works for Leh-Ladakh

Leh-Ladakh is the worst-network region in India for an expense app to work in. There are full days with zero connectivity — Pangong night, Khardung La crossing, Nubra dunes, much of the road from Manali. The Hisaab is fully offline-first; log every dhaba dal-rice and fuel stop without signal, sync when you're back at the homestay WiFi.

Full offline mode. Add expenses anywhere, including spots with bad signal. Syncs when online.
No daily expense cap. Splitwise free caps at 4–5/day; a busy Leh-Ladakh day generates 8+ shared expenses.
