The Dooars region contains wild-life rich tropical forests, undulating plains and low hills.

Innumerable streams and rivers descend from the mountains of Bhutan and flow through the fertile plains in the Dooars region.

Cultivation of tea in the Dooars was primarily pioneered and promoted by the British but there was significant contribution of Indian entrepreneurs.

It is one of the largest producers of fine CTC tea and one of the few gardens to use machines for picking the leaves.

Goodricke’s tea gardens in the Dooars are: Danguajhar, Leesh River, Meenglas, Hope, Aibheel, Chulsa, Chalouni, Jiti, Sankos, Gandrapara, Lakhipara and Kumargram.
