UMIAM LAKE
Umiam Lake is a gem of the Northeast India. Visiting Umiam Lake is one of the best things to do in Shillong and completes the trip Meghalaya.

The lake serves as a major tourist attraction for the state of Meghalaya. It is also a popular destination for water sport and adventure facilities. Tourists visit this spot for kayaking, water cycling, scooting, and boating.
DAWKI RIVER
Dawki river is located near the Umngot river flows through Dawki which is a small town in the East Jaintia hills district near the Indo-Bangladesh border.
The boat ride here is something one could dream of . The river water is so clean and clear that you can see quite deep in the water and see the clear rocks.
About 95 Kms from Shillong-The capital of Meghalaya and just a mile close to Indo-Bangladesh International border in the west Jaintia Hills, the town named Dawki is famous for its pristine green surroundings and of course the Umngot River which i would say is among the cleanest river in whole of India.
WARD’S LAKE
Ward’s Lake, locally known as Pollock Lake or Nan Polok, is an artificial lake in Shillong, Meghalaya, India. Located in the centre of the city, it is one of the most visited tourist spots of Shillong.
The lake is named after the then Chief Commissioner of Assam, Sir William Ward, who started the plan for the establishment of this lake. It was later on constructed in the year 1894 by Colonel Hopkins.
One of the associated stories is that a Khasi prisoner develop the area around the Lake to change the monotony is his daily routine.
UMNGOT RIVER
The Umngot River acts as a natural divide between Jhantia and Khasi hills, before finally flowing into Bangladesh. They say that the water of the river is so clear that the boats floating on it look as if they are on a crystal glass surface.
Originated at the Eastern part of Khasi Hills of Meghalaya, India, the river DWAKI flows nonchalantly into Bangladesh forming a natural boundary between these two countries. Actually the name of the river is Umngot situated at Dawki, west Jaintia.
MAWLYNGBNA ADVENTURE CAMP
you can trek, swim, raft and enjoy many sports here. its a beautiful nest and people of all age groups should go. its a small paradise nest for lids. very enjoyable.
The highlight for us was the “RIVER TREK”. The guides are very professional, helpful and lovely people. Well if you are visiting, rent a tent (with Bonfire at night) and stay in the wild and do the river trek, waterfall trek, split rock visit for sure among other activities. All in all great experience.
