Dawki

Dawki, a serene town near the India-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya, is home to one of the most enchanting natural wonders in the Northeast — the Umngot River, famous for its glass-clear waters. So transparent is the river that boats appear to float in mid-air, making Dawki a photographer’s dream and a traveler’s delight. Surrounded by lush hills and deep gorges, Dawki is a peaceful escape into nature’s raw beauty. Whether you’re taking a tranquil boat ride on the Umngot, exploring nearby waterfalls, or crossing the iconic suspension bridge, the experience feels surreal. Dawki also serves as a gateway to nearby villages like Shnongpdeng, where adventure lovers can enjoy kayaking, cliff jumping, and camping by the river. Still largely untouched by mass tourism, Dawki is a place where the air is pure, the water sparkles, and time seems to slow down. It’s not just a destination—it’s a reminder of how beautiful simplicity can be.
