Chandubi Lake, Natural lake in Kamrup district, India
Chandubi Lake sits at the base of the Garo Hills and spans a large area framed by tea gardens and thick forest on all sides. A natural lagoon within the water body creates sheltered areas for boats and fishing activities.
The water body formed in 1897 when a strong earthquake caused several mountain peaks to sink, creating this natural formation. This geological event shaped the land and left behind the water feature that exists today.
Local communities rely on the lake for fishing and daily water needs, connecting them to the land through generations of practice. The tea plantations surrounding the water shape how people experience and move through the region.
You can reach the lake by driving on National Highway 37, with Guwahati nearby serving as the main transport hub for the region. Morning visits work best since weather tends to be clear and boat services are more frequent.
Migratory birds arrive in large numbers during winter months, traveling from distant regions to spend the season here. This makes the lake a special place for watching birds during the colder time of year.
