Set beside the riverside at the scenic Whitewater Village, Umtham (Ri‑Bhoi district), the Umtrew River offers thrilling kayaking opportunities against a backdrop of lush jungles and tea gardens. With water typically released daily from the hydroelectric dams, the river delivers rapids ranging from Class II to IV—perfect for both beginners and experienced paddlers alike. Top-tier kayakers from over 25 countries have tackled these pristine waters, especially during the annual Megha Kayak Festival, making the Umtrew one of India's premiere white-water venues. Beyond the river, adventurers can cool off with swimming, enjoy scenic walks or tea‑garden treks, and relax in the peaceful riverside ambiance.
