Banyan Tree Ringha
Shangri-La

Shangrila is a remote paradise hidden in a Tibetan valley. Surrounded by snow capped mountains, Banyan Tree Ringha is located within this fabled valley, offering awe-inspiring views and experiences within a tranquil retreat. You have a strong sense of isolation as well as being treated to one of the most luxurious resorts around. It is located in Jian Tang Town, the heart of Shangrila in Yunnan, China and is perched 3,200 metres above sea level. In true Banyan Tree style, the Banyan Tree Ringha resort architecture reflects the local Tibetan culture. All 32 spacious resort lodges and suites are traditional Tibetan farmhouses with intricate woodcarvings, smoky fireplaces and wooden balconies that have valley or river views. The farmhouses are decades old and have been painstakingly preserved and relocated log by log to form Banyan Tree Ringha. Explore a way of life generations old and discover the stories behind these lodges that have seen the passing of many a season. The way they are laid out allows for maximum privacy during your stay. The resort is all inclusive so you would normally eat their traditional cuisine in house. The spa is a great way to relax in the already relaxing surroundings.

When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.

I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!
- Krista Weir, Sri Lanka
Ampersand provided a bespoke and flexible holiday, tailored to my every whim. Their highly professional staff had only one goal which was to arrange an exceptional holiday and some unforgettable experiences in India. I have no hesitation in fully recommending them and they will be the first company I approach in the future - 10/10

We had a wonderful holiday - everything was perfect. Thank you for helping us to make a thoughtful plan to enjoy and make most out of our trip. The places we visited, the guides, the transportation and driver, the hotels selected... Everything was great!

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
