Anybody visited this place? Greenish Blue waters of the Dawki River in Khasi Hills in Meghalaya #ExploreNortheast
Dawki is 90 km from Shillong.
“If you are going to Dawki, make sure you find a good driver,” the driver who brought me to Shillong the night before had cautioned me, “it's a risky route.”
When a professional driver considers a particular route to be risky, you must worry. But after having seen heaps of soil on the highway, the thought of tumbling down a mountain didn’t scare me. Nothing can be more tragic in this world than dying in a landslide, and no driver, no matter how skilled, can ever foresee or evade a landslide.
The driver who was to take me to Dawki turned out to be a twenty-something Bengali man who was born in Shillong and had roots in upper Assam, but looked more like a mountain-hardened Khasi whom you could trust instantly. He was clearly born to drive in the hilly terrain.
