Dawki Bridge (1932 Suspension Bridge)★★★★ Rafi Meander's pick
A British-built suspension bridge from 1932 that still holds — walk out over the Umngot where the water reads like a map of the riverbed. The steel is rusting in the humidity and it's all the more beautiful for it.

Umngot River Boating Point
Attraction
Sep 29
Umngot River Boating Point★★★★★ Rafi Meander's pick
The reason people come: wooden boats on water so clear the hull appears to float in air. October to April is the season for the famous transparency effect. Early morning before the tour buses arrive.

Betelnut Restaurant
Restaurant
Sep 29
Betelnut Restaurant★★★ Rafi Meander's pick
Sits by the river at Shnongpdeng, serving Chinese and Indian food with a view of the water. The kind of place where you eat slowly because there's no reason to hurry.
Shnongpdeng Village, Dawki, Meghalaya 793109
