If you are planning to visit Meghalaya, then don’t forget to see the Umngot River. The river is also known as ‘Dawki Lake’. This is one of the cleanest rivers in Asia. It is beautiful, serene, and crystal clear. It was titled the cleanest village in Asia in 2003.

Dawki River is named for a town named “Dawki”, a small town along with the India-Bangladesh border in Meghalaya. Let’s have a look at Dawki Lake (Umngot River).
