The forested areas of Northern
West Bengal present a plethora of Wildlife.
Imagine a stretch of land 130 km. long by
48 km. wide where nature has lavished all
her bounties.
And you
know it’s Dooars. Here, an unending
stretch of virgin forests is crisscrossed
by the river Teesta and her innumerable
tributaries. Beautiful motorable roads cut
through deep forests, rich with wildlife.
Mauve hills stand at the end of velvet green
plains. The forests echo with the melody
of birds. In between, there are fabulous
wildlife sanctuaries with picture-postcard,
log cabin lodges and valleys carpeted with
tea gardens.
