Ri Kynjai - Serenity by the Lake.
This resort is located by the beautiful Umiam Lake in Shillong. It is aptly called the €Ri Kynjai' because Ri kynjai translates to €Serenity by the Lake' in their traditional language - Khasi. It is located only 20 kms from the city, Shillong and can be reached easily by car with picturesque views throughout the journey. The designs are inspired by their local ethnic culture, with the unique original Khasi thatch huts as the rooms of the resort. It is a 45 acre compound which is pretty huge. A traditional touch has been given to the whole construction and planning. They have also used traditional building materials like red pine, local stones, bamboo and thatch roofing,
