Himalaya GREENCHILLI TOURISM

The Dooars or Duars (in Bengali & Nepali) are the floodplains

and foothills of the Eastern Himalayas in North-East India

around Bhutan. Duar means door in Nepali and Bengali

languages, and the region forms the gateway to Bhutan from

India.

The Western Dooars is known as the Bengal Dooars and the

Eastern Dooars as the Assam Dooars. The Dooars valley (also

called Duars) stretching from the River Teesta on the west to the

River Sankosh on the east covers an area of roughly 130 km by

40 km. The Dooars forms major part of the Jalpaiguri district.

“Dooars” the word is derived from the word ‘duar’ or ‘door’. The

name signifies its location as a gateway to the hill stations of

North Bengal & Sikkim as well as Bhutan and Assam. The 130 X

40 sq.km. Dooars valley, an important travel destination in

Eastern Himalaya, is covered with lush green forests and

teagardens and intersected by the rivers like Tista, Torsa, Jaldhaka

& their innumerable tributaries. It is the home to one horn rhino,

gaur and many other rare species. A tour or a safari through these

forests of Dooars will be a life time experience.

Dooars is one of the very few places left in the country where

nature is so lavish of her green facilities. The unending stretch of

virgin forests is cress-crossed by the River Teesta and her

innumerable tributaries. Looking like molten silver against their

setting sun, beautiful motor able roads cut through the deep forests

rich with wild life, mauve hills stand at the end of graceful plains.

The forest looks the way the unknown birds in them sings. The

melody of the grooves forces you to surrender the sophistries you

so carefully cultivated in the city. After a day's journey through the

splendid scenery, a happy twilight will bid you retire in the cozy

comfort of luxurious log cabins, and leave for you a million dreams

of the glorious morrow, that is the Dooars. A land that loads you

with the gifts of nature.
