Ri Kynjai

Ri Kynzai in Meghalaya is a heavenly place overlooking the Barapani Lake. From the lake view cottage you feel as if you are living in the clouds. The huge veranda overlooking the lake is amazing place to sit and sip that hot cup of tea whilst waiting for sunrise from behind the mountains... in Jan it is quite cold and so the heater in the room and the hot water bottle in the bed is very much useful and gives the place a cozy ambiance. The food at Ri Kynzai is very good and service is very friendly. The trail to the lake behind the hotel is very much like from a fairy tale movie. Off sites to Chirapunjee and also to Shilong city are easy. However one watchout: road to Shillong is always crowded after 8 am . All in all, i would strongly recommend Ri Kynzai

Me and my son visited this place. Probably, one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The cottage was not only well appointed but full of wood and warmth. The fireplace kept us awake and talking almost the whole of the night. The peaceful view of the lake first thing in the morning sitting in the verandah, with a steaming cup of tea will forever remain etched in our memories. One of the most relaxing holidays. The food, warmth of the staff, the spa and the walk down to the lake just made it an unforgettable trip.

Just had my vacations with my family at this property. Rooms are good cosy and clean. Its just opposite to a beautiful lake. Excellent location and safe for family. Staff members are very friendly. Recommended

Great calm resort overlooking the lake. Big rooms with balcony facing the lake, wird all amenities. Extremely friendly staff, offering good service. We stayed here during a around trip to Meghalaya, which was cut short due to closing of all touristical sights. So we took a walk around the grounds, into the village. Especially the afternoon walk to the village was an experience: friendly, laughing children, English speaking adults, it made for a nice stroll. We laughed the restaurant with it's amazing choice of Indian Vegetarian dieses. All extremely tasteful and with generous portions. I also had a relaxation massage at the spa, which was great. Our friend had the special regional massage. She loved it, too.

Ri Kynjai is an excellent resort. We lived there for a day and enjoyed our stay. It is next to Umiam lake and one can walk to the edge of the lake which is about 200 meters. You can see lake from all the places in the resort. Rooms are excellent. Food is good. Service is excellent. A memorable stay.
