A phrase often used to describe an earthly paradise, the search for Shangri-La has eluded pleasure seekers for centuries, but thanks to the innovative minds at Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts, the search for utopia ends with Banyan Tree Ringha. Nestled betwixt the rolling hills of the Tibetan countryside, Banyan Tree Ringha embodies serenity and simplicity in the Yunnan Province of Tibet's very own Shangrila County. Artfully restored and meticulously maintained Tibetan farmhouses serve as comfortable, spacious lodgings in this heavenly hideaway. Outfitted in rich colors of the Tibetan flag, bold blues, romantic reds, and golden yellows coat the walls and plush tapestries, while intricate woodcarvings and local art enhance the décor. Guests preferring a more intimate setting may opt for one of the smaller bi-level cottages, where a cozy fireplace and handcrafted wooden hot tub offset the rustic charm.

Banyan Tree Ringha is a gem of a resort. Expansive suites are housed in traditional Tibetan homes and set alongside a picturesque river. Postcard-worthy views can be had from your room’s verandah. Interiors are traditional yet plush. There is so much space that one wouldn't know what to do with it all. The bathroom on the ground floor is almost the same size as the bedroom and living room upstairs. These accommodations are truly one-of-a-kind. There are quirks to the rooms like dim lighting in the dressing room area and having to walk downstairs to use the toilet but overall it feels authentic and luxurious. The staff are so kind. Everyone remembered you — you weren’t just a number. The standard of English was very good. They really couldn’t do enough for you. Those at the restaurants will explain to you menu items that are local to the area and teach you how to eat them. When you get dropped off at the lobby, you’ll be offered local tea and biscuits. This team is quite the opposite to the one at the mediocre sister property in Lijiang. Thank you to Lucy and Zhouma amongst the many others whose names we didn’t get. One felt taken care of and looked after. I did not feel any altitude sickness though the short walks up the hill did leave me breathless. There is an oxygen machine in the bedroom if needed. Thank you for a truly unique stay that was both peaceful and relaxing.

We recently spent a few days in the Banyan Tree Ringha and it was exactly the peaceful escape we needed. Beautiful private room for my family. Surrounded by rolling hills, quiet trails, and stunning natural scenery, every moment felt like a breath of fresh air. The local hosts went above and beyond—warm, attentive, and always ready with great recommendations. From sunrise walks through wildflower meadows to cozy evenings under the stars, my day was finished with a great SPA treatment. the trip offered the perfect blend of nature and hospitality. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with the outdoors.

Service is excellent. The service personnel is very attentive, chatty and explain about the local foods and drinks. The hotel itself is very unique with the old ancient houses. The interior design is very traditional and quite藏族 style. This is an very unique experience.

Our time in Banyan tree Ringha couldn't be better. The Hotel is located right in front of a river and mountain where from the villa's porch we could see animals come to graze every morning and through the day. All the staff are extremely helpful. Kendrick from front office gave us usefull information about Shangri la and places to visit and at the restaurant Dolma always greeted us with a genuin smile and made sure had everything we needed. They serve both local and western food. Extremely well served and would love to visit again.
