The clean and clear Umgnot is flows very close to the Dawki-Tamabil Border Crossing, gateway to Bangladesh. Dawki is a small economic centre but remains busy due to the hundreds of trucks queuing to cross the border everyday. Umgnot river creates a natural boundary between the Jaintia Hills and Khasi Hills. A single lane suspension bridge over the Umgnot River connects the two districts near Dawki. Dawki Boating Association provides leisure boating services in small boats over the Umngnot river for tourists. The place is also famous among the locals who come to the peaceful river mouth valley to catch fish.
