Situated near Songsak block, just off the Darugiri-Songsak road in the East Garo Hills district of Meghalaya, Tasek lake is a large inland lake which was created when the 1897 earthquake took place. The lake is formed by the Damring river and is said to be the home of a huge water serpent called Sangkini (monstrous snake) by the locals. Tasek lake has vast potential for pisciculture and the state government has lately established a major fishery there.

This natural inland lake serves as a suitable picnic spot and camping site, with its relaxing ambience and cool waters. One can also enjoy fishing here. Tourists can simply laze around in the wilderness of Mother Nature – East Garo Hills. Amidst the soothing environment, Tasek lake is a popular tourist spot.
