Songtsam Linka Shangri-La
Why We Love This Hotel
- Natural Landscapes: Located in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, the lodge is situated deep within a remote part of the world known for epic landscapes of snowcapped mountains and meandering valleys.
- Culture: Guests can visit Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and the homes of local Tibetan families, providing them with an opportunity to participate in immersive cultural exchanges.
- Convenient: Exploring Tibetan regions is no easy task, but by being just 20 minutes from the airport and well-equipped with all necessary supplies – such as heat and comfortable beds – the lodge allows guests to explore this fabled corner of the planet without sacrificing the comforts they are accustomed to.
