Landmark

Dawki Integrated Check Post (India-Bangladesh Border)★★★★ Rafi Meander's pick
One of the few road border crossings between India and Bangladesh in Meghalaya, where five hundred coal trucks cross on a peak day. Come at sunrise, before the trucks start — the Umngot River below has the quiet you came for.

Larnai Black Pottery Village
Attraction
Oct 2
Larnai Black Pottery Village★★★★ Rafi Meander's pick
Women here shape black pottery by hand, without a wheel — blending black clay with crushed serpentine stone, firing in open kilns, dyeing with local plant extracts. About 20 km from Jowai, an hour north of Dawki. Watch them work if you time it right.
