Dharamshala Tours

Three school friends in Kangra, one WhatsApp-first booking flow. We skipped the accommodation-listing pattern the competition uses — the site is part of ~1,000 travel packages booked every month.

The briefSell packages, not hotel listings

Every Kangra travel operator runs the same template — a list of hotels with prices, a contact form nobody fills. The founders wanted to be different: they sell packages, not rooms, and most of conversion happens on WhatsApp.

The result
~1,000 packages booked through the site every month.

What we shippedBuilt around the WhatsApp moment

Each package page ends in a one-tap WhatsApp deep link with the package pre-filled. The CMS lets the team push a new monsoon or winter itinerary without waiting on a developer. Mobile-first because 95%+ of their traffic is on phones.
