Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Ri Kynjai translates into Khasi as land of serenity. This Spa-Resort presiding over the picturesque Umiam lake 16kms from Shillong is aptly named "Ri Kynjai - Serenity By The Lake". The architecture is inspired and derived from the original Khasi thatch huts. Supported on tall circular stilts on the terrace of the hotel blocks are the hybrid cottages derived from vernacular Khasi architecture. These cottages serve to portray the transition from tradition to modernity and have an interpretation of the traditional upturned boat roof done in metallic thatch fused to modern gables. Each cottage has a fireplace in the living/ bedroom area and the mezzanine floor has an additional bedroom arrangement. ... more less

“Unbelievable Beauty”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

We arrived in the middle of the night. The fireplace in our extravagant private villa was aglow with burning coals, with plenty of coals and logs for us to maintain it. When we woke up in the morning the sun was rising over the lake in front of us, through the glass doors to the balcony. I thought I was... More
