Two faces of an international border. At Dawki, Umngot river bank is about 2000sqft in India and rest in Bangladesh. The hawkers are all from BD. The BSF personnel struggle to keep folks within the respective countries.

And a fenced border in Dawki, runs for KMs. #NorthEast ImageFence along India Banglades...
Bangladesh tourists at Dawki. Pity they can't take a boat ride.

Mobile network shows Bangladesh time. #NorthEast ImageImage
Camping at Dawki. This crystal clear looks last only for a month in December.

The entire water of Umngot river water is used by Bangladesh.

Clearly the highlight of my #Meghalaya trip. Dawki and the human story of the international border. #NorthEast

1) Final thoughts on Guwahati:-

Guwahati is JAIN- Just Another Indian Nagar. Crowded, dusty, chaotic.

Everybody eats Ghutka or Pan Masala.

You get all kinds of food here. Local Dum Biriyani, Poori-White Lobia curry were yum. Street food is big, chur muri, fresh cut fruits
2/

Guwahati has fantastic public transport. We used bus to go everywhere. Very well connected city. In spite of this, traffic is terrible. And this coming from a Bangalorean 😅

Most happening places are Dispur, Christian Basti, Ganeshgudi. Has all the major brands and eats.
3) Autos are bloody expensive and they cheat. Maybe because people prefer bus. Ola & Uber are as bad as everywhere else.

All NE States have a Bhawan here. If NE was a country, Guwahati would have been the capital.

Countryside is flat and nothing much to see. Brahmaputra is big.
