Dooars, also known as Duars, is a picturesque region located in the sub-Himalayan foothills of Northern West Bengal and parts of Assam, India. The name "Dooars" is derived from the Bengali word "duar," meaning "door," aptly reflecting its role as a gateway to Bhutan and the northeastern states of India. This vast area is characterized by its stunning natural beauty, encompassing rolling hill slopes, dense forests, sprawling tea gardens, and numerous sparkling mountain streams and rivers. The ideal time to visit Dooars is during winter and summer, particularly from October to May.
