What to expect at Chandubi Lake
Chandubi is a natural lake in a forest setting, with fishing and rowing among the activities named by the Kamrup district government. Assam Forest’s Kamrup West Division working plan places the lake within Borduar Reserved Forest, under the jurisdiction of Kamrup West Division, Bamunigaon, about 65 km southwest of Guwahati.

The lake formed after the Great Assam Earthquake of 1897. Assam Forest also describes it as a wintering place for migratory birds, adding a seasonal wildlife context to the landscape.
How do you get from Guwahati to Chandubi Lake?
You can travel to Chandubi Lake by road, and the Kamrup district government says buses reach the lake from Guwahati’s Adabari central bus stand. Check transport details before planning around a bus journey: the district’s visitor information does not give a timetable, fare, route number or operating days.
The Assam State Transport Corporation has a Guwahati Division bus-timetable page, but its page directs users elsewhere for bus and timetable information and does not state Chandubi service details. For a road trip, confirm your route and current conditions before departure; the available location facts do not establish a driving time.
Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport is named as the nearest airport, and Guwahati Railway Station as the nearest railway station. If you are arranging onward transport from either, confirm the connection to Chandubi separately.

Ways to spend time by the lake
Fishing and rowing are activities at the lake. Chandubi is a natural lagoon where visitors can fish or row. It does not give boating charges, hours or a booking method, so check the current arrangements before relying on a particular activity.
The Chandubi Festival is held every year near the lake and is organized by Rajapara villagers under the Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council. Festival activities include folk music, traditional dances, local handicraft exhibitions, Assamese food stalls, and traditional games and sports. Treat the festival as a recurring local event, and verify its practical details before planning your visit around it.
