Boatride on Umngot river in Dawki near India-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya. An eye-catching motorable suspension bridge spans the Dawki River. The bridge, an engineering feat was constructed by the British before India became independent, as the overland life-line between the provinces of East Bengal and Assam . The bridge, though old, is an impeccable standard of maintenance, adding to the general beauty of the picturesque border town of Dawki, known for its sweet, juicy orange market.
Umngot flows through Dawki, a small but busy town in the East Jaintia Hills district near the Indo-Bangladesh border. The town itself is a mere 95 km from Shillong.
Dawki serves as a busy trade route between India and Bangladesh where hundreds of trucks pass every day.
The Umngot itself is a prime fishing spot for fishermen from nearby areas.
The river is the natural boundary between Ri Pnar (of Jaintia Hills) with Hima Khyrim (of Khasi Hills) over which hangs a single span suspension bridge. It is the gateway to Bangladesh.
