Umiam or barapani lake is around 85 KM from #Guwahati and 15 KM from Shillong. Road is very beautiful .
#Umiam Dam, which impounds the lake, was built by the Assam State Electricity Board in the early 1960s. The dam's original purpose was to store water for hydroelectric power generation. The Umiam Stage I powerhouse, north of the lake, has four 9-MW turbine-generators, which entered commercial operation in 1965. Umiam Stage I was the first reservoir-storage hydroelectric project commissioned in the northeastern region of India. (Umtru Hydroelectric Project, a run-of-river project with an original capacity of 8.4 MW, began operation in 1957.) Three more stages of the Umiam Project were subsequently built downstream

Umiam Lake from Shillong - must visit!
Umiam Lake is around 16.6km from Shillong and falls just off the Guwahati to Shillong highway. This is how Umiam lake can be reached.
Umiam lake is Meghalaya's largest and possibly most beautiful lake. This is the same lake that featured in Rock On 2 directed by Farhan Akhtar.
You should definitely keep this lake as a part of your itinerary to Meghalaya. If you are coming by reserved taxi or own vehicle from Guwahati side towards Shillong then you can plan a pitstop here for an hour or so. Otherwise, you can reach Umiam from Shillong in about half an hour if traffic is low.
Be mindful of the extensive traffic problem of Shillong that plagues this place. Otherwise, Shillong is a cool hangout place with lots of cultural activities.
