Chandubi Lake
চান্দুবি বিল
A mountain lake formed by the 1897 earthquake, where visitors can go boating and picnicking in winter, with an eco-camp on the shore.
Chandubi Lake lies about 60 km southwest of central Guwahati, at the foot of the Meghalaya hills. It formed when the forest subsided after the great Assam earthquake of 1897, and dead tree stumps can still be seen in the water. In winter, the lake is calm, and visitors can ride village wooden boats across it. The surrounding area is home to Rabha villages, and the Chandubi Festival is held around New Year each year, with traditional song and dance and local food. There is an eco-camp and simple accommodation by the lake. During the monsoon, water levels rise and roads turn muddy, so visiting at that time is not recommended.
