Search Hostels in Shangri-La

"The most beautiful place we have ever been: a well designed Tibetan style cottages overlooking the vast river valley grasslands with surrounding snowy mountains in the distance. The sound of the cowbell and wind blowing over the trees is most soothing. The staff are so friendly and helpful, especially Doima, the manager, who help us arranged the day tours and even our luggage storage in town after our check out. We are also very impressed with Banyan’s policy in observing the environments and their detailed design in promoting the local culture history in their cottages. Thank you, Banyan RINGHA.

"Very nice view from the hotel. Close to the old Town."

"The amazing staff more than made up for the hotel’s aged look and feel. I really had a very comfortable and happy time staying in the hotel that could surely do with a makeover. "

"Well, I was surprised when I arrived on the bus in Shangri-La administrative town that the hotel was back the other way toward Lijiang and that it was not near any Tibetan monasteries. But I was traveling on my own and picked the hotel on Expedia.com because of the great price and name. The owner was lovely, it was gorgeous, quiet, and I meditated at the crack of dawn near an ice cream stand look-out. I was able to hike, get some breakfast, lattes, and watch the sunrise over the mountains. I am learning more about "Shangri-La" and surprises are okay, especially when traveling alone. I was able to visit a Tibetan monastery outside of Lijiang when headed back that way. "
