Dooars Tour

The floodplains and foothills of the eastern Himalayas in North-East India around Bhutan is the Dooars or Duars Region. The Dooars valley streches from River Teesta on the west to River Sankosh on the east, over an area of 8800 km² . The Western Dooars is known as the Bengal Dooars and the Eastern Dooars as the Assam Dooars. This region forms the only nitrate rich soil in India which is very fertile.
The word Dooars or Duars means door. The reason why it is called duars is because the region forms the gateway to the hill stations of North Bengal, Sikkim, Bhutan & the North-Eastern states of India.
The altitude of Dooars area ranges from 90 to 1,750 m. Many streams and rivers flow through these fertile plains. Of them are Teesta, Jaldhaka, Murti, Torsha, Brahmaputra, Manas, Sankosh, Dyna, Karatoya, Raidak, and Kaljani rivers.
