i started from guwahati, this resort comes first before shillong city starts. This resort is situated near umiam lake or bora pani in local language. A huge lake with boating facilities available. Also boating facilities available near by resort only by walking distance of 1 km. Rooms are very good in condition. Rate is reasonable as you are in shillong.... More

Stayed here for 6 days. The resort is built beside Umiam Lake and the location of the resort is very scenic. But be prepared that the resort is 17km away from the Shillong town. There are no other restaurants nearby or any other place to eat. So you have to eat at resort itself. The menu is very limited and... More

This is virtually the saddest property I have ever stayed in. All the rooms are musky and moist, the sheets were not laundered property the blankets were itchy. The bathrooms were huge in size but the fittings were all retro and rusted. They do not provide central heating or heaters, the newer rooms however have fireplaces. We got the worse... More

Stayed here for 2 days in May, 2012. The best thing about this place is its view of the lake. Whether you are at the dining hall or from your room's balcony, you will always get a good view. Excellent place if you like to just relax, read a book or just enjoy the nature. There is a small garden... More

The wooden and lavish dining room overlooking the lake will always remain in your memory. The rooms are large with fire place and TV's and geysers. The service is nice also. In fact the Resort itself is... More

Umiam Lake is a beautiful lake, surrounded by trees and clouds floating in and out. The rooms are huge and quite comfortable, though some of it was a bit dirty. I went in the monsoon, so everything was a little damp. The restaurant is nice, and has a great view over the lake from the glass dining hall. I preferred... More
