Overview

The Dooars or Duars are alluvial floodplains in northeastern India located north of the Brahmaputra tributary basin, south of the external foothills of the Himalayas. The area is about 30 km wide and extends about 350 km from the Dhansiri River in Assam to the Teesta River in West Bengal. This region forms the gateway to Bhutan. It is part of the Terai-Duar grasslands and savanna.
Duars means 'Darwaza' in Assamese, Bengali, Maithili, Bhojpuri and Magahi languages. There are 18 routes or gateways between the hills in Bhutan and the plains in India. The Sankaush River is divided into eastern and western dooars, covering an area of ​​880 km2 (340 sq mi). Western Dooars is also known as Bengal Dooars, and Eastern Dooars is also known as Assam Dooars. Dooars correspond to Terai in northern India and southern Nepal.
The average rainfall of the region is around 3,500 mm. The monsoon generally starts from mid-May and continues till the end of September. Winters are cold with misty mornings and nights. Summers are mild and have concise periods of the year.

Apart from the tribal community, a large Bengali also populates the Dooars, and their culture emerges with the native.
The Dooars is well-known for the tea gardens that were planted by the British. He imported labor from Nepal and Chota Nagpur and Santhal Parganas to work in the plantations. Oraon, Munda, Kharia, Mahali, Lohara, Chik Barik, and Santal are the tribals of these areas. Tribals of Chhotanagpur origin are employed in tea gardens, which started production during 1870. Before other communities settled, these people turned forests into villages and bastis (agricultural villages). The remains of these tribal peoples form the majority of the population in the Western Dooars.

The largest city (ies) in the entire region extending from the foothills of Darjeeling to the foothills of Arunachal Pradesh are Siliguri and Jalpaiguri, which are geographically located in the Terai region rather than the Duars.
