Dooars
The Dooars is a lowland region located in the northeastern part of India, primarily in the state of West Bengal. It lies at the foothills of the Himalayas and is known for its lush green landscapes, tea gardens, and diverse wildlife. The area serves as a gateway to the Himalayan mountain range and is characterized by its rich biodiversity, including several national parks and wildlife sanctuaries.
The name "Dooars" means "doors" in the local language, referring to the numerous river valleys that connect the plains to the hills.
