Dawki and Shnongpdeng

Dawki is known for its pristine lush green surroundings.  It is truly a blessing! The town is not just a tourist attraction but also one of the nearest 'Gateways to Bangladesh'. It has served as a trade centre between the two countries for a long time. Dawki is mainly known for coal mines and limestone exports which keep the trade between India and Bangladesh. In fact, it is the only place where there is a road route connecting to Bangladesh and India. Other attractions in Dawki, it is the Umngot River which is the talk of the town! The pictures of Umngot River keep appearing on social media platforms now and then. You might have even come across a picture of a boat on transparent water? That is the ravishing Umngot River. It is not wrong to say that Umngot river in Dawki is one the cleanest rivers in India. When we look at the boats sailing in the river from a distance, it looks like the boat is floating in air. Fishing is one of the main occupations here apart from agriculture and mining. So, fishing boats are a common sight in Umngot River.
