Dooars - Where Nature & Wildlife Resides

Major Himalayan Rivers like Brahmaputra, Dyna, Kaljani, Raidak, Manas and Sankosh deposit their fertile sediments in Dooars, making it an extremely productive region. Hence, tea plantation is practiced here in abundance. However, you will also run into numerous indigenous tribes who practice shifting agriculture and worship the forest spirits and deities. Dooars is home to nearly six nationally reserved biosphere reserves that are considered to be crucial ecological hotbeds housing a vast number of Himalayan floral & faunal members.
