Welcome to Ri Kynjai Hotel , Shillong , India
Ri Kynjai translates from Khasi as ‘land of serene environs’. This resort presiding over the picturesque Umiam Lake, 20 kms from Shillong, is aptly named ‘Ri Kynjai – Serenity by the Lake‘.
The architecture is inspired and derived from the original Khasi thatch huts. Legend has it that millennia ago the sea caressed the southern slopes of the eastern Himalayas and the Ancient Khasi tribe may have been a sea faring community. They readily adopted the upturned boat roof form which is inherently capable of withstanding the harsh monsoon winds and incessant rainfall.
The Cherrapunjee - Mawsynram belt, the world’s rainiest area, lies on these slopes. Being aerodynamically friendly, these upturned boat roofs were best suited to withstand the squalls and storms of the region.Ethnicity is at the core of Ri Kynjai. The resort reflects the warmth of Khasi hospitality, their eco-centric culture and captivating architecture combined with modern convenience and luxury.
