About this experience
Shnongpdeng, 8 km upstream from Dawki, is where the Umngot is calm and clear enough to play in. This pack bundles the three things people come for: a kayak on the green water, a look underwater with a snorkel and mask, and a jump from the rocks into a deep pool.
Bought one by one on the beach these add up and the prices are haggled. With the pack you pay one price in advance, with life jackets and a guide included, and you know exactly what you get.
