I love to be in Chandubi for an overnight stay in Chandubi jungle camp.Iwas there this Christmas holidays with my school friends. For staying, tents and mud cottages with thrashed roof are available amidst nature. One can enjoy sitting by the campfire, listening to the sound of jackals calls. Wake up in the morning by the sound of birds chirping or in the winter, sound of dew drops falling over thrashed roof or on the ground. Chandubi lake is around 65km away from Guwahati.It takes about 2 to 2 and half hour to reach by road from Guwahati. Chandubi is a natural lake, formed during earthquake in 1897 when forest went down to form this lake. This lake is situated in the foot hills of Garo hills.A big and beautiful lake with surrounding small, very clean, ideal tribal villages on both side of the lake.One can enjoy tracking to the village and nearby small water falls.People are predominantly of Rabha community.One can also enjoy local food and their handicraft and culture.

The Zoo was just awesome! Taking the vehicle to get around the place is the best way since its very pocket-friendly. The place is so vast that it's feels it never ends. Every area is marked accurate so that one knows where they are. Got to see a wide-range of animals especially the monkey family. Also the deers move about freely since the zoo is located within a jungle like area. The best scene not to miss is the monkeys that roam around freely that too at the entrance of the Zoo. It's the best Zoo ever visited.
