What is the name of cleanest river of India, which is located in village Mawlynnong in Meghalaya and acts as a natural divide between Jaintia and Khasi hills, before finally flowing into Bangladesh?
Popularly known as Dawki river, the Umngot river in Meghalaya is undisputedly the cleanest river in Asia with its crystal clear water. It originates from the Eastern Shillong Peak, which is located 1,800 m above sea level.

The river is in the village of Mawlynnong ("God's Own Garden") in Meghalaya, close to India’s border with Bangladesh, which is touted as Asia’s Cleanest Village.

Alongside cleanliness, the village has also achieved a rare feat — a 100% literacy rate.

It acts as a natural divide between Jaintia and Khasi hills, before finally flowing into Bangladesh. @cseupscnotes
