Why marry in the Dooars
Below the hills lie the Dooars, the foothill plains of North Bengal: tea gardens, rivers such as the Murti and the Jaldhaka, and the forests of Gorumara and Jaldapara national parks, home to the Indian one-horned rhinoceros.
Resorts around Lataguri, Murti and Chalsa offer open lawns and banquet space, which suits larger guest lists who want to stay and celebrate together in a natural setting.
Expansive riverine plains, forest resorts and open-air lawns: we coordinate large-scale production, lighting infrastructure and multi-generational hospitality.
