How To Reach Umngot River Suspension Bridge
Dawki, Meghalaya, India
The Dawki Suspension Bridge, also known as the Umngot River Bridge, is an iconic landmark that connects the Jaintia and Khasi Hills. Built in 1932 by the British, this bridge served as a vital trade link between India and the then East Bengal (now Bangladesh). It is a single-span suspension bridge that hangs gracefully over the emerald waters of the Umngot River. The bridge is not just a functional structure but a prime tourist attraction due to the panoramic views it offers. From the bridge, one can look down and see the boats on the river appearing as if they are floating in mid-air. It also provides a clear view of the international border and the plains of Bangladesh stretching out into the horizon. The bridge is relatively narrow, originally designed for light vehicles and pedestrians, and it still retains its old-world charm with its rusted steel cables and wooden-planked pathways in some sections. Walking across the bridge is a thrilling experience as it sways slightly under the weight of traffic and the wind. It serves as the gateway to the Dawki-Tamabil border crossing. The surrounding area is bustling with local vendors selling Khasi snacks and handicrafts. For many, this bridge is the starting point of their Dawki adventure, offering the first real glimpse of the river's legendary beauty. It stands as a testament to colonial engineering, surviving the harsh monsoons of Meghalaya for nearly a century.
