Dooars – The Gateway to Nature’s Paradise

Nestled at the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas, Dooars (also known as Duars) is a breathtaking valley of rolling hill slopes, emerald tea gardens, glistening mountain streams, dense forests, and vibrant wildlife. Stretching from the Teesta River in the west to the Sankosh River in the east, this picturesque region covers about 130 km x 40 km, forming the fertile floodplains of North Bengal and Eastern Assam. Often referred to as the gateway to Bhutan and Kalimpong, Dooars beautifully blends nature, culture, and heritage, making it one of the most sought-after tourist destinations in North Bengal.

Renowned for its rich biodiversity, the Dooars region is home to some of India’s most famous wildlife sanctuaries, including Jaldapara National Park, Gorumara National Park, and the Buxa Tiger Reserve—each a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and eco-tourism lovers. The area also offers several mesmerizing tourist spots such as Samsing, Bindu, Jhalong, Chapramari, Chilapata, Raimatang, Buxa Fort, Jayanti, Lepchakha, and the royal Cooch Behar Heritage City.

A Dooars tour can easily be paired with visits to Lava, Lolegaon, and Rishyap in Kalimpong, or extended to the mystical Old Silk Route via Zuluk–Jelep La in East Sikkim. For international travelers, Dooars serves as the perfect starting point for exploring Bhutan, including Phuentsholing, Paro, and Thimphu.

The region’s charming tea gardens and factories add to its allure, offering visitors a glimpse into the art of tea-making while surrounded by endless greenery. Among its many attractions, Murti stands out as one of the most popular spots in Gorumara National Park, a shining example of eco-sustainable tourism in India.

Whether you’re a nature lover, a wildlife photographer, or a peace-seeking traveler, Dooars welcomes you with open arms—a paradise where serenity meets adventure.
