Discover the Tibetan tradition
At 2 p.m., departure by car to reach the Ringha Valley, where accompanied by one of our guides, will start a three hour hike between the hills, rivers, forests and villages surrounding the valley.
The valley itself is an attractive and peaceful corner of pastoral Tibetan life, growing highland barley, potatoes and turnips, with grazing yaks, black pigs and horses.
History and traditions of the Ringha Valley
The walk will notably pass by a beautiful tibetan Buddhist temple, very important in the area. Temple was founded in the Ming Dynasty as a place of worship for the Kagyupa (White Hat) sect of Tibetan Buddhism, but was later converted to Gelugpa (Yellow Hat). This happened when the Qing emperor Kangxi founded Songzanlin Monastery, and Ringha became an affiliate of the much larger monastery. Two nearby springs are sacred, and their waters are believed to have magical powers.
Candlelit dinner at the Farm Liotard
Late afternoon we will arrive at the Farm Liotard in the valley of Ringha, altitude 3,350 m. You will then meet Constantin and Phoebe and have some snacks while we tour the camp. Visit the Farm Liotard and games for children. An aperitif will be served before sunset and later a dinner in the dining room.
Accompanied by our drivers, return to Shangri-la at the end of the evening.
