Dawki is known for its crystal-clear river, the Umngot River, which forms a natural border between India and Bangladesh. The water is so clear that boats appear to be floating on air!

It's famous for its community-based eco-tourism initiatives and the Living Root Bridges, which are unique structures made by weaving the roots of rubber trees.
