Have you ever gone in an imaginary world in real?? We all have read about it in poems and fairy tales but did not go in real. You have to stay a full moon night beside Dawki river, if u want to taste this Imaginary world. Believe me, the atmosphere will take you to a completely different world where you will be able to see the moon in Dawki's crystal clear water. The silver light will fall upon the sand and u will become witness of an unforgottable memory. This world is very silent and totally secluded from the crowd of everyday life...
Location:west Jaintia Hills district of Meghalaya. The campsite of Dawki is called Shongpdeng.
Book 4wheeler from Guwahati station to Dawki. Lots of four wheelers are available outside the Guwahati Station. They have different fares based on seats.

My suggestion
When u will come to Dawki , visit other places of Meghalaya also.. U don't have to pay much for this...
Our plan
For us we were 7 people in number.we booked a rent Sumo for 3days with the capacity of 8 people from Guwahati (as I am currently living in Guwahati) .
We stared early morning around 7am for Shillong and around 10am we reached there, enjoyed the sightseeing and local food. We stayed one night there.
The next morning we set for Double Decker Root Bridge. We had our break fast in a roadside hotel.
At 10.30 we reached at the Double Decker root bridge. We had to trek for 3 hrs to reach the exact spot. And then 3hr to come.
It was 4.30.We set for Dawki.we had no time for lunch because driving is very difficult at night in those places. We ate the dryfoods what were with us
At 7.30 pm we reached at Dawki. We talked to the local people. They arranged camping things for us and took us to the campsite with their small boat.
I can't share my experience in just words. The journey of 10mins through the river at that night was just amazing.. We enjoyed bonfire, chicken roast which were preplanned.
The next morning we had to good bye Dawki..But that experience will be remained forever with me...
People who live in other states book a train/flight to Guwahati. Then stay one night here and plan your journey.
