( Dooars )
The forested areas of Northern West Bengal present a plethora of
Wildlife.
This mixed dry deciduous forest land dotted with grasslands, harbors
the largest diversity of mega fauna in West Bengal.
A large range of foothill forest in North Bengal is called Dooars.

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.
