Explanation:

First of all, the Duars and the Shiwaliks are more or less of equal heights. Also, more height is not suited for Tea Cultivation.
Also, tea requires moderately low temperatures and frost free climate. And western part of Himalayas is colder than the eastern part.
Also, due to more rainfall in the Duar region compared to Shiwaliks, they are ideally suited to tea cultivation.
