Dooars of the Mahananda sanctuary, West Bengal
- 5 years ago
The dooars is a belt that runs along West Bengal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Assam east to the Brahmaputra River, at the base of the Himalayas. Seen here is the region around the Mahananda sanctuary in West Bengal.
The Terai is a belt of marshy grasslands, savannas, and forests located south of the outer foothills of the Himalaya, the Shiwalik Hills, and north of the Indo-Gangetic Plain of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and their tributaries. The Terai belongs to the Terai-Duar savanna and grasslands ecoregion. In northern India, the Terai spreads eastward from the Yamuna River across Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Uttaranchal, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Corresponding parts of West Bengal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Assam east to the Brahmaputra River are called Dooars. The lowland plains of the Terai lie at an altitude of between 67 and 300 m (220 and 980 ft). North of the Terai rises the Bhabhar, a narrow but continuous belt of forest about 8--12 km (5.0--7.5 mi) wide.
