Set in the center of Shangri-La, Yunnan Province and surrounded by mountains, the Banyan Tree Ringha offers a spectacular setting, some 3,200 meters above sea level, amid canyons, rivers, plateaus and valleys. To get to the property, guests must take a 40-minute flight from Kunming International Airport to Diqing Airport; the resort is approximately 30 kilometers away.
With architecture reflecting local Tibetan culture, the Banyan Tree Ringha is comprised of lodges that are traditional Tibetan farmhouses. Intricate wood carvings and pine pillars festoon the interior and exterior of these buildings, which all have river or valley views. The hotel offers an array of on- and off-site activities. On-property, guests may seek relaxation at the Banyan Tree Spa, an intimate retreat inspired by sacred Himalayan beliefs. Typical services include the Guishi hot river-stone treatment and a yoga massage. For adventures beyond the hotel's borders, guests can sign up for four-wheel drive winter tours of the region, or go on winter treks via horseback or foot. Monasteries and behind-the-scenes tours of local farmhouses are among the destinations and additional fees apply to these excursions. Guests will find two dining venues serving local Yunnan Province specialties, Chinese and Western fare.

Teak furnishings, native fabrics and red walls combine for a luxurious decorative motif in guestrooms here. Private balconies bear scenic views while rooms feature cable television, direct-dial telephones and safes.

Providing an authentic Tibetan countryside experience, Banyan Tree Ringha offers a wide variety of amenities.
