FOREST BENGAL-Dooars |
Dooars is one of the very few places left in the country where nature is so lavish of her green facilities. The unending stretch of virgin forests is cress-crossed by the River Teesta and her innumerable tributaries. Looking like molten silver against their setting sun, beautiful motor able roads cut through the deep forests rich with wild life, mauve hills stand at the end of graceful plains. The forest looks the way the unknown birds in them sings. The melody of the grooves forces you to surrender the sophistries you so carefully cultivated in the city. After a day's journey through the splendid scenery, a happy twilight will bid you retire in the cozy comfort of luxurious log cabins, and leave for you a million dreams of the glorious morrow, that is the Dooars. A land that loads you with the gifts of nature.
