Umium Lake or Bada Pani is the name that is synonymous to nature’s gift in Shillong.
I am a nature lover so have always wanted an accommodation in a travel destination that surrounds the natural attraction.

Since our cottage in Ri Kynjai was overlooking Umium Lake, I would say my 65% of Shillong trip was a success due to the view of Umium Lake and rest 45% goes to Cherapunjee. View of Umium Lake from our balcony used to be spectacular. We never missed a chance to dine in our balcony having the pleasure of scenic view there.

Sun rise at the lake is a must see. I felt like getting connected with God. It was an altogether different feeling to be in front of lake

Umium Lake is also a ground for fishing. Tourists do boating as well.

The way lake takes twists and turns amongst mountains beautifies it further.

I would recommend visitors to visit Umium Lake. Without a visit to this lake, your trip will be incomplete.

Once you are there, don’t forget to capture sunset or sunrise.
