Retreat. Reflect - On Top of the World

Between heaven and earth where clouds play with mountains and rivers dance to a rhythm of their own. Lies the historic homeland of Tibetan nomads once experienced only through the classic James Hilton novel, Lost Horizon. This mountainous area in China's Yunnan province has been designated the official Shangri-La and is one of the most secluded higheways in the world.

In this remote ranging wilderness stands Banyan Tree. Hovering over 3,200 metres, the weathered Tibetan homes witnessed the cycles of the seasons. The authentic decades-old farmhouses have been meticulously chosen and relocated log by log, to reside in the new world of Banyan Tree Ringha.

Mountain peaks touched by the clouds, endless valleys, mystical plateaus and the most tranquil of lakes, each season has its unique charm.

Carved by Nature, blessed by Heavens, this ancient holy site offers a journey of pure discovery. Here, you will catch a rare glimpse of a distant world, a way of life unchanged for thousands of years.
