About

Nongkhnum River Island is the biggest river island in the Indian state of Meghalaya. The island is formed by the river Wah Kynshi on the west and south and river Namiliang on the north and east. Often erroneously claimed to be the second largest river island in Asia, especially for promoting tourism, there are numerous other river islands in Asia much bigger in size than the Nongkhnum Island.
