Derived from the word
‘doors’, the Dooars forms a gateway to the
hill stations of North Bengal and Bhutan.
The valley stretches across a total span of
130 km by 40 km. The unending stretch of
virgin forests is criss-crossed by the river
Teesta and her innumerable tributaries.
Beautiful motorable roads cut through deep
forests teeming with wild life and Terai tea
gardens. |
