The drive
About the Mawlynnong–Dawki route
Mawlynnong and Dawki are the classic East Khasi border pair, just ~30 km apart, so they are almost always visited together. The drive drops down towards the India–Bangladesh border at Tamabil, taking under an hour on a scenic but winding road.
At Dawki the Umngot River runs so clear in the dry season that boats appear to float on glass. A private cab means your driver waits at the ghat while you take the boat ride, instead of you hunting for transport back up.
This is a short hop, so most travellers book it as part of a Mawlynnong + Dawki day. Our drivers are based in Shillong, so the fares below include their drive out and back, which is why even this short hop is priced like a longer trip. Ask us for a half-day package that includes the wait time.
