Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I have been to Shillong many a times and knew of the lovely Umiam Lake. I was also aware that there are boating facilities in the lake. I did not know that in between the lake there is this beautiful Lumpongdeng Island which is a different world in itself.
During our recent stay at Shillong which was near the lake itself, we had sometime for ourselves before we were to return to Guwahati. There was a suggestion for visiting this island. We were told that, in January, it could be windy travelling in the lake. We took precautions and loved the boat journey to the island, spending an hour or so at this lovely island and enjoying ourselves.
At this island, you are in a different world. As nobody lives there, you are on a piece of land, all by yourselves. One can explore the island, trek, go around, see the beauty of the island and the lake, different hues of clouds, the sun and nature.
At the alighting point of the island, there is a boathouse which seemed lovely. We went around the island and explored it and saw different sides of the lake.
It was a lovely experience.

I stayed at the boathouse at Lumpongdeng island. We were the only ones on this piece of island. The boathouse is so charming and the view from the boathouse is top notch.If you're looking for a calm and serene atmosphere to unwind yourselves, this is the best place. The boathouse can accommodate 4-5 people easily and its more fun when you have a group to go. You can take the boat from umiam lake sports complex. Food and snacks will be arranged by the caretaker at this property. All this comes at a very pocket-friendly cost.

This is situated in the Guwahati shilong highway. Nearly 1 and half hour drive from Khanapara (Guwahati). A very cool place. Nice for picnic. If you start by 9 o’clock from Guwahati you can come back by evening. In north east one common suggestion start early because after 4.30 PM it is dark. So if you want to relax do it on the evening not in morning

A beautiful lush green private island, anchored to which is a boat house. Very well furnished woody interiors with enough couches and chairs for a group of 5-6 people to comfortably spend their weekend. Must visit if you're a lover of nature, and wish to be far from the crowd. With solar panels to keep even the TV running, there's no worry to charge your cameras and phones.Very friendly and helpful are the owners of the place, who also maintain it, and prepare the meals.
Suggested activities when here: Fishing, trekking around the island, bird-watching, boating

The island is accessible through a boat. It has a house boat, a caretakers quarters, a small party hall and trekking trail. The house boat is an amazing place to stay at.

I stayed on the island for a day and the experience was very good. This was one of the best stays over 10 day vacation to Meghalaya / Sikkim. The place is basic and has limitations but if you are clear with your expectations, this place wont disappoint you.

Lumpongdeng island is a small hillock located in the middle of the Umiam lake. A boat house is located in the island. Access to the island is only by boat which can be hired from the Umiam Lake Water sports complex. If one has isolation in mind, then it doesn't get better than this.
