Dawki

Cherrapunji (Sohra), Meghalaya, India
Dawki is a small town on the Indo-Bangladesh border, known for its pristine Umngot River. The river is so clear that you can see the riverbed and the pebbles from the surface. The river is a major tourist attraction, and a boat ride on its crystal-clear water is a magical experience. The river is al so home to a variety of fish, and the local fishermen can be seen in their traditional boats. The town is a major trade hub between India and Bangladesh, and the border crossing is a fascinating sight. The suspension bridge over the river, which was built during the British era, is a marvel of engineering and provides a great vantage point for a panoramic view of the river and the surrounding hills. The serene and peaceful atmosphere of the place makes it a perfect spot for relaxation and quiet contemplation. The place is also a great spot for adventure activities like kayaking and boating.
