We are in Beta!

some features are not live yet!

Kettik is still in Beta! Which means that some features are not live yet and there might be other teething problems. You can help us by notifying us of any bugs or suggestions to improve the platform.


Payment processing is not yet integrated for hotel/activity bookings. We hope to bring it live in January 2016 along with support for verified listings and a 'manual' framework for bank payouts to our business partners.


All the travel blogging features are live and work as desired. Website publishing support is pending the payment integration.


Affiliate tracking for referrals made from travel blogs to listings is still under progress and so is the payout mechanism for the affiliate users.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the meaning of Kettik?

Kettik is a Kazak word meaning 'Lets Go' (start a new journey). It is used in the wild steppes of western Mongolia where the nomadic tribesmen from Kazakhstan and Mongolia live. We believe that the word perfectly encapsulates the sprit of traveling freely to go and explore the great outdoors.
