Umswai is a village in Amri development block of West Karbi Anglong district in the Indian state of Assam.[1] Apart from being home to an exclusive tribal culture,[2] Umswai also possesses extraordinary natural beauty.
The word Umswai is originated from the language of Khasi People. This also resulted in the term 'Umswai' being officially recognized by the Assam government.[3][4]
