Cherrapunji, Meghalaya
Polo Orchid Resort, Cherrapunji
★★★★☆
Polo Orchid stands on the edge of the Sohra plateau, near Nohkalikai Falls, where the land drops away into a deep green canyon. The cottages and rooms are set along the rim, and the best of them look straight down the gorge. There is a deck and a glass-walled restaurant on the edge, and on a clear evening the view runs for miles toward the plains. It is the most comfortable place to stay in Cherrapunji, and the closest good hotel to Nohkalikai, the Seven Sisters Falls and the caves. The trailhead for the root-bridge trek is a short drive away. Cloud and rain are part of the deal here. When the weather lifts, the setting is hard to beat.
Shillong, Meghalaya
Ri Kynjai – Serenity by the Lake
★★★★★
Ri Kynjai sits on a wooded ridge above Umiam Lake, about eighteen kilometres north of Shillong. The cottages are built in the Khasi way, with high, upturned roofs shaped like the hull of a boat. They step down the slope among pines, and most look straight out over the water. Inside they are simple and warm, in wood and local weave. There is a spa that uses Khasi herbs, a restaurant with lake views, and quiet lawns to sit on. The lake itself is below, for a boat or a slow walk. It is the calmest luxury stay in the state, and it works best as a place to slow down for a night or two on either side of the falls and the root bridges.
