The Dooars World

Nestled in the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas, brimming with extraordinary wildlife, are the Dooars (derived from the
Sanskrit word "Dooar," meaning "Door" in English), a series of geographical corridors between India and Bhutan. From the
elusive Red panda and the Himalayan salamander to the majestic Golden langur and the iconic Asian One-horned rhinos,
this region is home to a breathtaking array of biodiversity. Immerse yourself in some stunning natural behaviour and rarely-
seen footages of the lives of these creatures - from majestic Hornbills gliding through the canopy, to the stealthy presence
of the King cobra and the delicate fluttering of 300 species of butterflies, this documentary showcases their world in all its
natural grandeur.
But there’s more. Amidst this patchwork landscape, the boundary between humans and our more-than-human
counterparts blurs, revealing a captivating play of life between man and nature.
This is a wildlife documentary; but it is not a documentary about wildlife alone. It is a compelling narrative that explores the
various manifestations of coexistence within this remarkable ecosystem in its purest, most unfiltered form.
That's the story of Dooars, the untamed passages of the Himalayas.
