Dooars

The rolling hill slopes, the lush green tea gardens, the silvery mountain streams, the deciduous forests, the wildlife, the villages, the huge sky… these are all about Dooars. The gateway of Kalimpong and Bhutan as well as of the North East, the Dooars valley (also called Duars) is the floodplains of Northern Bengal and Eastern Assam and an Eastward journey from the river Teesta to the river Sankosh, an area covering roughly 130 kmX 40 km. The area forming out of a major part of Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar and Cooch Behar district has come up as an excellent tourism circuit, a unique combination of wildlife, ethnicity and Royal heritage.

Famous for its rich biodiversity, forests, wildlife vis-a-vis ethnic people and their culture, Jaldapara National Park, Gorumara National Park and Buxa Tiger Reserve have already earned enough of fame and popularity in conservationist and sustainable tourism. The surrounding area also offers a number of tourist destinations such as Samsing, Bindu, Jhalong, Chapramari, Chilapata, Raimatang, Buxa Fort, Jainti, Lepchakha and Cooch Behar the Heritage City. A tour to Dooars can easily be combined with parts of Kalimpong especially Lava, Lolegaon, Rhysap, extending to the enchanting ancient Silkroute via Zuluk-JelepLa through East Sikkim, or with Bhutan like Phuentsholing, Paro, Thimpu and beyond.

A visit to the running Tea gardens and factories can keep our hope alive, their natural beauty thrills us mesmerised.
