Ganga Lake : My Arunachal Pradesh Diary

Ganga Lake, also known as Geykar Sinyi, is a beautiful natural lake located 6 kilometer from Itanagar. The name Ganga Lake could be due to the popular Ganga Market nearby.


Boating at Ganga Lake offers a chance to appreciate the natural beauty of the surroundings, observe the diverse flora and fauna, and soak in the peaceful ambiance. It provides an opportunity to connect with nature and spend quality time with loved ones. I could see Suni and Suyog enjoying the moment, I had to stop Suyog several times not to play with water. His play reminded me of my childhood boating experience at Mirik with my mother.

There are two types of boat rentals available. A two-seater boat can be rented for a duration of half an hour at a cost of INR 150. A four-seater boat, which can accommodate more people, is available for rent for the same duration at a cost of INR 250, and we settled for it.

These boat rides offer visitors the opportunity to explore the serene beauty of Ganga Lake while enjoying a peaceful time on the water. A little later our Sonam Sir’s family to joined us at the boating and we clicked each other at the Lake.



The lake has an interesting story behind its creation. It was first discovered by a person named Tai Bida. According to the legend, Tai Bida went to search for his lost mithuns, type of domesticated cattle and now the state animal of Arunachal Pradesh. While searching for his mithuns, Tai Bida stumbled upon this serene lake surrounded by lush greenery and lofty mountains.

The lake is one the popular tourist attractions in Itanagar. It is known for its picturesque views and tranquil atmosphere. The lake is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and those seeking peace and serenity. The lake is an enclosed water body so locally called Geyker Sinyik in Nyishi dialect; and the nearby vegetation make it green.
