Did you know that every year, between the months of October and November, the state of Meghalaya receives paddlers and rafters from all over the world who come to test themselves on the challenging white water rapids that are hidden deep within the jungles of the state? That’s right! Experts from across the planet have been coming to explore the rivers of Meghalaya for decades, and now, so can you. With new trails and the right local expertise, Meghalaya now offers river experiences for all levels- this includes those of you who have never set foot on a raft before too. On this short escape, we will take you for an exciting rafting session on the Umtrew River with the local experts from the region. It is important to remember that the behaviour of the river changes with the season so it is crucial to respect local knowledge and go with experienced professionals who know the local rivers well.
