Siliguri, Commercial center in West Bengal, India
Siliguri extends across the districts of Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri, positioned between the Mahananda and Teesta rivers at the foothills of the Himalayas.
The transformation of Siliguri from an agricultural village began after the Treaty of Sugauli in 1816, establishing it as a transit point for trade.
The population of Siliguri represents multiple ethnic groups speaking Bengali, Hindi, Nepali, Bhojpuri, and Urdu, creating a multilingual environment in the city.
The Bagdogra International Airport connects Siliguri with major cities, while extensive rail and road networks facilitate transportation to Darjeeling and neighboring countries.
The city functions as a strategic corridor linking mainland India to four international borders: Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and China.
