Umiam Lake
Umiam Lake introduces a broad expanse of water and wooded hills on the approach to Shillong through Ri Bhoi. It is a reservoir created by a dam, with visitor areas offering different perspectives on the shoreline. Choose a specific stop rather than assuming every visible bank is publicly accessible.
Discover Umiam Lake
Lum Nehru Park offers one way to combine a garden setting with the lake landscape. Optional water activities belong to a separate plan, dependent on operator arrangements and conditions. The lake also works as a gentle arrival or departure stop, provided it does not make a longer road connection too tightly timed.
Places to explore
Umiam Reservoir
The dam-created lake is a major landscape feature on the Guwahati–Shillong approach, with wooded slopes and changing reflections across the water.
Lum Nehru Park
This park is identified by Meghalaya Tourism as a lakeside attraction, providing an alternative to planning the entire visit around a boat ride.
Suggested sightseeing plan
Use this as a starting point. Adjust the sequence to your interests, access arrangements and local conditions.
- Suggested start: stop at an agreed Umiam viewing area and take time to appreciate the reservoir's scale and surrounding hills.
- Then: continue to Lum Nehru Park if its visiting arrangements fit your day, keeping boating optional and separately confirmed.
Planning your visit
- Agree on the exact park, viewpoint or activity entrance before arrival; separate lake access points are not necessarily linked by a walk.
- Check current water-activity arrangements locally and use the operator's safety equipment if you choose to take part.
