The ‘Umngot River’ in Meghalaya is a model for Indian rivers says Indian billionaire businessman Anand Mahindra.
With its crystal clear water, the Umngot river in Meghalaya is unquestionably the cleanest river in Asia. It originates at 1,800 metres above sea level on the Eastern Shillong Peak.
It is one of Meghalaya’s most popular tourist destinations. The water in the Umngot River is so clean that the boats that float on it appear to be floating on a sheet of crystal glass.
The river runs through the village of Mawlynnong (“God’s Own Garden”) in Meghalaya, which is known as Asia’s Cleanest Village and is near India’s border with Bangladesh. The river is Meghalaya’s pride and a model for how Indian rivers should appear.
