the forgotten worlds - arunachal pradesh and meghalaya - day 12 - dawki & mawylnnong

day 12

today i will be visiting dawki - bangladesh border and mawylnnong

thats my ride. three days of extreme driving conditions and it didnt falter once

early morning views from hostel.

left early for dawki. stopped at this place for breakfast which had fantastic views.

it was quite cold in the morning and when i reached dawki in the plains, it was hot and humid.

the drive was very scenic/ roads were much better than in arunachal.
first place we reach is dawki lake. it is one of the clearest water you can see.

no photography allowed on the bridge
from there after a short drive we reach the bangladesh border. the place is called tamabil.

on the way back a couple of more pics of the lake

couldnt resist the beauty of the place

what you see in the background is bangladesh, foreground obviously is india.
from there a long drive to mawylnnong - asia's cleanest village
