We see pictures of the crystal clear blue waters of Maldives in pictures and wish we had the same kind of beaches in India. What if I told you that we have similar hidden gems in India which are a gorgeous sight to behold?
The Umngot river in Dawki, Meghalaya, is one such hidden gem!
Popularly known as the Dawki River, this incredible water body is located near the Indo-Bangladesh border in the West Jaintia Hills. The river is well known for its crystal clear water on which tourists often enjoy a boat ride.
Fun fact, if someone were to take a picture of the boats floating in the river from above, it would seem like they are flying!
Travel bugs are sharing pictures of the gorgeous river online to appreciate the beauty that it is! Have a look:

Jan 2020. Amazing view and the water is absolutely clear. Best view is from the top when the water sparkles in the sun. pic.twitter.com/VSgIgA0kur

Dwaki is at the Indo-Bangla Border. One can visit the gate of Bangladesh from here. Can visit the cleanest village in Asia Mawlynnong and can see natural root bridges connecting across streams.

People online couldn’t believe how stunning the river looks! Many called it “heaven on earth” while others who have visited the place shared their own experiences.
Can't believe that such crystal clear Water bodies are also there in India.
Thanks for sharing it.— SK Padhi (@HAPPY_ARMY_MAN) September 21, 2020
