Dawki in March
Meghalaya, India
Go in March — the river clarity is at its peak before monsoon rains, weather is warm and dry, but expect crowded boats and riverside vendors.
Peak crowds
March 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.
March is warm and the river maintains good clarity before monsoon muddies it.
The March story
