About the journey
Dawki sits on the India–Bangladesh border, where the Umngot river is so clear that boats appear to float in mid-air during the dry season. Nearby Mawlynnong is famous as one of Asia's cleanest villages, and the Riwai living root bridge is a short walk away.
Because of the distance, we usually plan Dawki as a day trip from a Shillong base, or include it in our Meghalaya tour package.
