Tour operators for Darjeeling, Gangtok and the Dooars
Most tourists to the hills land at Bagdogra or arrive at NJP and book a cab or package in Siliguri. They ask about routes, permits, prices and road conditions.
On Growth and Pro, the bot answers these at once and hands bookings to a person. The evening before, send the driver's name, vehicle number and pickup point.

Once guests are home, a short note asking how the hills were — with your number saved as the contact for their next trip — turns a one-time booking into a regular one.
Road updates in the monsoon
Landslides can close hill roads for hours or days. Tell guests early: the new route, expected delay, or a change of plan. A calm, honest message keeps trust even when nature does not cooperate.
Wholesalers supplying the hills
Shops in Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Gangtok and the Dooars buy from Siliguri's wholesale markets. They want rates and stock before ordering.

Send the rate list to retailer lists by area. Confirm orders and transport details in writing, and send payment reminders with a UPI link.
Tea traders and gardens
Gardens and traders talk to buyers about lots, grades and dispatch. Send new-flush updates to buyer lists, share tasting notes and photos from the media library, and confirm each sale in writing.
Dooars resorts and homestays
Resorts near Jaldapara, Gorumara and the tea gardens get enquiries about safaris, rooms and transport. Send booking details, safari timings and directions before arrival, and a thank-you after the stay.
Hospitals and clinics
Patients come to Siliguri from the hills, the Dooars and neighbouring countries. Appointment reminders with a location pin save families a long, wasted trip. Keep medical details out of messages.
Trade with Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh
Siliguri sits on the borders of three countries, and many local traders deal with buyers across them. Those buyers use WhatsApp just as Indian ones do.
Keep a separate list for cross-border buyers, and send them stock and rate updates in the language they prefer. Confirm each order, the documents needed and the dispatch date in writing. Clear records in one chat help when customs or transport questions come up later.
Bengali, Hindi, Nepali and English
Bengali, Hindi and Nepali are all common here, and tourists often prefer English. Pick the two or three your buyers read most, and have each version approved by Meta separately.
Hong Kong Market and retail
Siliguri's busy markets — Hong Kong Market, Bidhan Market and Sevoke Road — sell clothes, electronics and imported goods to buyers from the hills and neighbouring countries.
Shops can build a list with a counter QR code and send new arrivals before Durga Puja, Diwali and the winter tourist season. Keep each message short, with photos and your stall number, so buyers can find you easily.
Outside the platform
Permits, cab dispatch and stock records stay with you and the authorities; the platform only carries messages. Money moves through the UPI link you send, never inside the chat, and every contact must have agreed to hear from you.
