THE DOOARS.......THE UNREVEALED WONDER

DOOARS

DOOARS – “The place where nature has kept its doors open”. The word Dooars comes from “Door”(doors to Bhutan). This region, located in the district of Alipurduar, Jalpaiguri and Cooch Behar, forms a gateway to the hill stations of North Bengal, Sikkim, Bhutan & North-Eastern states. The dense natural forests, interwoven with lush green tea gardens, criss-crossed by Teesta, Raidak, Torsha, Jaldhaka, Kaljani and other rivers & their innumerable tributaries rolling down the hills fill up your senses with sublimity.

Dooars is not so much known to the world, but it’s popularity increasing day by day. Tourists from various corner of the World are started to visit the Dooars for its freshness. The best time to visit the Dooars is from October to February, to enjoy Nature with Winter. The Dooars valley stretching from river Teesta on the west to river Sankosh on the east, over a span of 130 km by 40 km, forms a major part of Alipurduar &  Jalpaiguri district. To its north stands the east Himalayas as a natural backdrop. A vast texture of dense forests teeming with wildlife, unending tea gardens, bubbling rivers, interspersed with sleepy or busy settlements, is what Dooars is all about.

As a parmanent resident of Dooars (Alipurduar), here I am describing everything about Dooars. You can mail me at saibal.bumba@gmail.com for more details, and of course I can give you best of my effort for free of cost, because I Just Love My DOOARS.

You can reach Dooars through Alipurduar, Coochbehar & Siliguri from KOLKATA. The only one airport is located at Bagdogra, Siliguri. It takes 45 minutes to arrive from Kolkata to Bagdogra. In railway there are many trains such as Kanchankanya Express (from Sealdah), Teesta Torsha Express (from Sealdah), Kamrup Express (from Howrah), Saraighat Express (from Howrah), Garib Rath Express (from Kolkata) etc by which you can reach Siliguri or Alipurduar. In railway the distance between Kolkata to Alipurduar is 730 km. (approx.). It takes 10 – 15 hours to reach as per train you choose. You can reach by road also. The route to be followed from Kolkata is as follows:

1. NH34 to Dalkola via Barasat, Ranaghat, Krishnanagar, Plassey, Berhampur, Morgram, Farakka, Malda, Raiganj, Karandighi.

2. From Dalkola take the NH31 to Sevoke via Kishanganj, Islampur, Bagdogra, Siliguri, Jalpaiguri, Maynaguri (by pass), Dhupguri, Falakata, Alipurduar

3. You can reach by road from Siliguri to Alipurduar via Sevok, Malbazar, Binnaguri, Hasimara through NH31. As per my opinion this will be the rocking journey you ever have. You can start taking the taste of the Dooars through this journey.

According to my view, it will be the best to make your tour map Centering Alipurduar. Because from the Alipurduar Main Town, the jungle starts within only 9 kms. And Alipurduar is much more less congested than Siliguri. So, you can avoid the traffic also.
