Umngot River Boating, Dawki

Experience the surreal illusion of boats floating on air as you glide across the crystal-clear waters of the Umngot River in Dawki, Meghalaya. Renowned as India's cleanest river, the waters are so transparent during autumn and winter that you can see river pebbles, aquatic plants, and schools of fish 20 feet below the surface. Board a traditional wooden country boat rowed by local Khasi boatmen along the scenic gorge bordering Bangladesh.
