A view of Doyang Lake.
The Doyang Lake(reservoir) is one of the biggest artificial mountain lake in India. During my visit some officials of the local government were also spending their holidays there and I had great time joining them in fishing. Located at a distance of 110 Km from the state capital Kohima and 30 Km from Wokha, the lake is far away from the hustles and bustles of city life and offers a chance for tourists to experience nature in solemness. Fishing here is very exciting. As you can see in the photograph below, a catch could weigh as big as 25 Kg!

The Doyang Lake which is a reservoir for the Doyang is a wonderful blending of scientific innovations with nature. This plant provides 75 MW of power to the adjoining states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura. The people here are friendly and interactive. Here you know everyone though you don’t know anyone! So, if you ever come here don' forget to participate in the unique community-fishing practiced by them.
