Dawki in February
Meghalaya, India
Go in February — the Umngot's clarity peaks and warming temps make boating comfortable, though morning chill requires layers.
Peak crowds
February is one of Dawki's busiest months. The score rates conditions — weather, access, value — not how many people you'll share them with. Nov-Feb gives the clearest water. Monsoon turns river muddy — completely different experience.
February maintains crystal clarity with slightly warmer temperatures. Perfect boating weather.
The February story
