About Dawki

Dawki is a small town on the border of India and Bangladesh, famous for the crystal-clear waters of the Umngot River. The water is so transparent that boats appear to be floating in mid-air, creating a magical and surreal sight. Boating on the Umngot River is the primary attraction and an unforgettable experience. The town also serves as a busy trade route between the two countries. The nearby Shnongpdeng village offers opportunities for adventure sports like cliff jumping and snorkeling in the pristine river.
