pleased with the architecture – inspired by the
building ‘language’ of traditional Khasi cottages while
incorporating the best of modern practices.
 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 Himalayas and the Ancient
Khasis may have been a sea faring community.

which is inherently capable of withstanding the harsh
monsoon winds and incessant rainfall.

roofs were best suited to withstand the squalls and
storms of the region.

the warmth of Khasi hospitality, their eco-centric
culture and captivating architecture combined with
modern convenience and luxury.

architectural styles into a harmonious whole that
synergises perfectly with the idyllic natural
surroundings.
 As you drive up to the resort through groves of
majestic pine trees, lush paddy fields, small organic
tea and vegetable gardens, your first view is of
traditional thatch roof of the Porch and the distinctive
hybrid cottages unique to Ri Kynjai.
 The distinctive lake view cottages which are
supported on tall circular stilts, are derived from
vernacular Khasi architecture and portray the
transition from tradition to modernity with an unusual
 interpretation of the upturned boat roof in metallic
thatch fused to modern gables.
 Designed with an eye for detail, the intricately framed
ceiling is set off by red pine walls and flooring. The
fireplace in the living – bedroom area, adds a cozy
intimacy to cool nights. Wooden steps lead up to a loft
which serves as auxiliary space.
