Come and breathe the freshness of rolling foothills, lofty hills stations, serene pine forests. Make your vacation an experience of a lifetime. Gifted with remarkable scenic vistas, beguiling vantage points.

                      The one and only House boat in an entire Meghalaya. Top-notch destinations for tourist to visit and experience the pleasant and most memorable that can ever imagine the most picturesque destination. The Houseboat is anchored with a wooden raft at the Lumpongdeng Island. There is only one family in the island, they take care of the guests and they are immensely helpful. No thought, the island itself has a beautiful hiking trail through the forest, most suited for bird watchers, for photography, and nature lovers. One can chill out, go out or plan out with your friends, plan for honey moon couples, for family members, with your boyfriends, and enjoy the scenic beauty of nature. It is one of the unique places to stay overnight in the middle of the awesome Umaim Lake. You could see clouds beneath the water; it’s that much clear, calm, and serene.

                     Most of all a solitude seeker’s go- to place far away from the hubbub of the cities. It is a great place for a night if you want to stay all alone by yourself, very much like the isolated lake houses shown in movies. The location and the ambience are magical. Grab the opportunity to experience the beautiful view from the balcony of the floating houseboat and the soft, gentle wind breeze, the rain drops that undulates ever so slightly under one’s feet.

With wooden interior, gabled roof, floor- to- ceiling glass windows and wraparound porch, this boat house is extremely made of dreamy stuff and is insanely beautiful beyond imagination. You can sit out on the porch with a steaming cup of Assam tea and watch the clouds float by over the hills or can try fishing in the placed waters of the lake.

              Sitting in the middle of nowhere, this house is powered by solar panels, and has a caretaker to take care of your food and other needs. Though there’s just one room extra mattresses are also easily available to accommodate not more than five guests at one time.

What Could Be Better

                              Can’t think of anything to fault really .It is like paradise for those wanting some place and space and space of nature beauty.
