- K V SebastianJamshedpur, India12 contributionsIt is a very good and vast lake on the way from Shillong airport to Shillong city. Not that great but unique. The systems are a bit developing stage. Tourists are visiting. There is a good resort nearby. Still there are teething issues. There is a long walking track along the sides of lake with tree houses in between. You get good breeze on these tree houses.Written 30 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Anjali TGuwahati, India76 contributionsA beautiful place covered with fogs for the whole time we were there. That gave us a good calming feeling even when we could not see much.
Vast and green and when you walk some 100-200 mts away from the crowd, it’s really peaceful.
But yes the initial part sees a huge, boisterous, littering crowd especially on weekends.Written 13 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I loved the museum.I suggest though that you make sure you have enough time to really see it.We did it in an hour as we came close to the closing time.Written 9 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Just it's a matter of feeling, no scientific reason .
It was a rainy day. Excellent feeling, rain is falling, strong wind was blowing . we are walking through the road and entering Deep to deeper inside. Guide was telling untold stories.
It's a Life time experience.Written 25 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

All 3 waterfalls are of different kind.Written 11 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BlizzardofidBengaluru, India71 contributionsPicturesque place within walking distance from Police Bazaar. Very well maintained. The only downside is too many people taking pictures of themselves for Instagram.
