In the last episode I shared my experience with Laitlum, the most beautiful church and sightseeing place in Shillong. In this episode, I will talk about Umuiam Lake, which is only 15 km away from Shillong city.

This lake created by a dam in the Umiam river is all for you to enjoy. It is quite popular among tourists and is a perfectly picturesque location to enjoy the stunning views of nature; in addition to the adventure activities that one can do here such as boating, kayaking, etc. The concoction of all these activities makes it an amazing travel destination that is worth a visit.

The summer season would be just the perfect time to give Umiam Lake a visit. During this time the climate is quite cool and perfect for traveling. However, you can also consider visiting this place at any time of the year.

Beautiful place to visit indeed @MohammadPalash . I always love a ‘perfect combo’ like this… greenery landscape, clear air, and pristine water. Lucky you to be able to enjoy all that. With all the activities you can do there, which one is your favorite?

[MohammadPalash]

Hello @indahnuria Every activity here is exciting but floating in the blue water is a great moment but I enjoyed spending some time alone under the shade of the trees by the lake.
