Banyan Tree Ringha sits in the Ringha Valley of the Shangri-La Tibetan highlands in the Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan, amid Himalayan scenery about 30 minutes from Shangri-La and near Dukezong Ancient Town, the first Banyan Tree resort in China. It has 32 villas reassembled from traditional Tibetan farmhouses, with coloured wooden posts, carvings and earthen fireplaces, from Tibetan farmhouse villas to two-bedroom lodges and a Tibetan Spa Sanctuary with an in-villa spa.
Dining spans restaurant and in-villa dining and destination dining, from hot pot and barbecue in a Mongolian yurt to a riverside dinner and a meadow picnic. There is a Banyan Tree Spa, including the Spa Sanctuary villa, and a Banyan Tree Gallery. Experiences follow a Spirit of Shangri-La programme, from hiking and butter-lamp making to prayer-flag printing, Tibetan home visits and old-town walks. Part of Banyan Group, it suits couples, honeymooners and experiential travellers seeking remote Tibetan culture, nature and authentic farmhouse-villa seclusion.
