Add a Missing Address & Collect Pathao Points!

Have you ever searched for a location in the Pathao app but couldn’t find it? Whether it’s a shop, restaurant or a location you frequntly visit, missing locations on maps can sometimes make booking rides or deliveries a bit frustrating.

The good news? You can now add missing locations directly from your Pathao app, and as a thank you, you’ll earn Pathao Points that can be used for discounts on rides, food, bazaar, and more!

Step-by-Step Guide to Add a Missing Location:

1. Open your Pathao App:
Start by launching the Pathao app on your phone. On the home screen, tap on your current address displayed at the top of the screen.

2. Tap on your destination location search box:


You’ll see the address search screen. If you can’t find the location you’re looking for, scroll down and tap on the “Add Missing Place” .

[Note: Make sure you only add the Missing Locations, that don’t already exist in our Map, to earn Pathao Points.]

3. Add and Pin the Address:

Add the details for the missing location based on what you are looking to add and pin the map on location and set it.

How to Add a Private Residence:

Adding a missing nearby location ? Here’s what you need to know:

  • Use a known/renowned nearby landmark (e.g., “Near ABC Grocery Store”).
  • Enter the street name and area name.
  • Pin the exact location on the map carefully — this helps our team verify your submission accurately.
  • Once all the information is filled in correctly, tap Submit.

This ensures that even if the location you are trying to add doesn’t have an official listing, it can still be found easily by using nearby points of reference.

[Note: Pathao does not approve personal house names or apartment names names such as “Garima Niwas” or “My Flat.” These names are too private and cannot be verified for public use.]

How to Add a Public Place:

Adding a business like a shop, cafe, office, or public location like parks, bus stops and such? That’s even easier!

  • Enter the place name (e.g., “Sudeep Liquor Store”).
  • Add supporting details such as the street name or area name.
  • Pin the correct location on the map.
  • Select the appropriate category (like Restaurant, Store, Pharmacy, etc.).
  • Once done, tap Submit and then Done to finish.

What Happens After You Submit?

After you submit the missing location, your information goes through a quick verification process by our team. We check for accuracy, clarity, and whether the location follows our community standards.

If everything is in order, the location will be approved and made available in the Pathao app. You and others will be able to find and use it for rides and deliveries!

Earn Pathao Points for Every Approved Location!

Every time you successfully add and submit a valid, useful location, you’ll be rewarded with Pathao Points. These can be redeemed for exciting discounts on:

  • Pathao Food & Mart orders
  • Rides and deliveries
  • Partner outlets (salons, restaurants, fashion stores, and more)

It’s an easy way to improve the map for yourself and get rewarded while doing so.

Pro Tip:

The more accurate and clear your submitted location is, including map pin, name, street, and category, the faster it will get approved. Avoid using nicknames or personal tags, and always try to provide official or commonly used names for public access.
