Asia’s Cleanest River With Crystal Clear Water Is in India

The waters of the Umngot river, popularly known as Dawki, in Meghalaya are so clear that the boats moving through it appear to be floating in the air! The river passes through the Mawlynnong village in Meghalaya which is also famous. The residents of Mawlynnong keep their village spic and span so much that it's touted as the cleanest village in Asia. The Umngot River serves as a natural divider between the Jaintia and Khasi hills before finally flowing into Bangladesh. The Dawki River's water is incredibly pure. While on a boat ride, one can see the river bed with its multicolored pebbles and stones. The gorgeous turquoise water of the river looks absolutely stunning and makes it among the must-visit attractions in Meghalaya.  Boating is the ideal way to view the grandeur of the Dawki River since, when the river is around 15-20 feet deep, you can see the riverbed. The maximum capacity per boat is four persons and one fisherman. While boating on this river, one gets the impression of floating on a transparent sheet of glass. In addition to the crystal-clear water, the Dawki River offers a commanding view of Bangladesh's border.
