Thadlaskein Lake

Situated at a distance of 56 kilometres from Shillong & at a distance of 8 kilometres from Jowai off NH-44, this intriguingly serene lake is a well-known spot for picnics. Believing the tradition, the cohorts of the Jaintia Chieftain U Sajar Nangli grasped the lake. There was a difference of opinion between the Chieftain and the king of Jaintiapur, the Jaintia empire, that now institutes Bangladesh’s Jaintia District.

Umhang Lake

Situated in the village of Batow in the Hills of Jaintia district of Meghalaya, the yellow plains of Bangladesh which gives a golden appearance is overlooked due to this stunning lake. The Umhang Lake has its resemblance like a gem in a perfect setting of a sylvan. The banks are surrounded by a green dense forest which adds to the beauty of Umhang Lake.
