Shnongpdeng in July
Meghalaya, India
River floods make all activities impossible and roads impassable
July Shnongpdeng does not exist for tourists. The Umngot is an angry brown torrent and the camping spots are underwater.

All 12 Months
| Month | Score | Note |
|---|---|---|
| January | 10.0/10 | January Shnongpdeng is the glass river at its clearest — boats float on water so transparent they look airborne. |
| February | 10.0/10 | February Shnongpdeng is January without the New Year rush. |
| March | 8.0/10 | March Shnongpdeng adds heat to clarity. The river is still transparent and now warm enough for long swims without the January chill. |
| April | 6.0/10 | April Shnongpdeng is hot river country. The clarity fades slightly as pre-monsoon rains upstream start adding sediment. |
| May | 6.0/10 | May Shnongpdeng is the last month you can reasonably camp by the Umngot. |
| June | 2.0/10 | Monsoon — dangerous |
| Julyviewing | 2.0/10 | Peak monsoon — avoid |
| August | 2.0/10 | Monsoon continues |
| September | 2.0/10 | Late monsoon |
| October | 8.0/10 | October Shnongpdeng comes back to life. The Umngot is clearing day by day and by mid-month the glass-bottom effect returns. |
| November | 10.0/10 | November Shnongpdeng is the river reborn transparent. |
| December | 10.0/10 | December Shnongpdeng is the Umngot at its most impossibly clear. |
