India has a river where the water is cleanest. We are talking about the Umngot river located in Meghalaya. Umngot River is also known as Dawki Lake.

Umngot River is considered to be the cleanest river not only of India but also of the whole Asia. Looking at the river, it seems as if the bottom of a river is transparent like glass. The river is so clear that you can easily see all the stones inside the river and not only the stones but other things that are floating inside, can also be seen clearly.
